Gorilla World was built on land that housed the monkey exhibits and Aquatic Bird House. The monkey exhibits were originally bird exhibits. Ed Maruska did save one of the small exhibit buildings and made it into a memorial to the last passenger pigeon and Carolina parakeet. Martha, died 1914, and Incas, died 1918, both lived at the Cincinnati Zoo.

A history exhibit with a contemporary message.
