We just had our scale calibrated and were able to get an accurate weight on him. As of last week he weighs 391 pounds (177 kilograms). Sorry for the delayed response in regards to Paul Donns’ weight.

He has great dignity and presence...I can almost picture him carrying a briefcase and hurrying to his office! His name contributes to that impression. Do all of the gorillas have two names, or is Paul Donn a special case? Thank you, Juan, for telling us something about the gorillas' morning routine. Please tell us more about these huge, gentle characters. I’m with Jeannie and Michelle….Paul Donn is VERY impressive!

I'm so envious of your job! Like Michelle, I'm curious about how big Paul Donn is - he looks HUGE! Also, can those of you who care for these incredible animals get really close to them, like keepers can do with the orangutans? Or is there always a clear and safe distance kept between the keepers and the Gorillas? Any and all information you can pass along will be greatly appreciated and highly anticipated. Thanks again, Juan. Thank you, Juan, for the great blog. I’m so envious of your job! Like Michelle, I’m curious about how big Paul Donn is - he looks HUGE!

I would love to hear more of their daily lives, personalities, interactions with each other and keepers, etc. One of my favorite exhibits at the zoo.
