Gorillas at ZSL London Zoo are counting down to the arrival of a literary giant this weekend.
In tribute to the renowned caterpillar’s creator, Eric Carle - who sadly passed away last Sunday - keepers introduced five-year-old Gernot and six-year-old Alika to the iconic fruit and vegetables the Very Hungry Caterpillar sampled in the famous children’s book, faithfully recreated in gorilla super-size, while scattering a few real snacks around for them to enjoy too.
