Willie B - Atlanta Zoo Willie B was born in Africa in 1958. He is one of the oldest gorillas in captivity. Willie B lived in a cage without any contact with other gorillas for 27 years. In 1988 Atlanta Zoo opened the Ford African Rain Forest, a large natural habitat area for Willie B and other gorillas. Since then many other zoos have created better habitat areas for our animal friends. Sadly, Feb. 2000 Willie B. died ... it was an honor to have met you Willie B. You have taught the world a lot about the animal kingdom, and the need for natural habitats so your world can continue to grow and prosper... may we continue to learn.
