Less than a year after Harambe's tragic death, another gorilla has died at an Ohio zoo, but this time of natural causes.
Colo, known as the queen of the Columbus Zoo, died in her sleep Tuesday. She was 60.
While she was less famous than Harambe she had a rather special call to fame as the oldest gorilla to be born into and live in captivity. She also lived a lot longer than most gorillas, whose usual lifespan is 40 years, and got a special shout-out from Betty White back in December when she turned the big 6-0.
