Bokito
Gorilla Exhibit
On the 18th of May 2007 something happened that nobody
ever could imagine: silverback Bokito jumped over the exhibit
river and wounded a visitor in the Rotterdam Zoo. Houthoff
Zoo Design managed together with the zoo’s design team
to build a 5 meter high mud bank wall (1800 square meters
of shotcrete decoration) within 5 weeks, so the gorilla family
could enjoy their new outdoor exhibit as soon as possible.
