Snowflake (gorilla)
Snowflake ((カタルーニャ語、バレンシア語:Floquet de Neu), (スペイン語:Copito de Nieve); c. 1964 – November 24, 2003) was an albino western lowland gorilla. He was a celebrity at the Barcelona Zoo in Spain where he lived from 1966 until his death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Albino animals: from Snowflake the white gorilla to White Diamond the alligator )〕
==History==
Snowflake was captured in the Rio Muni region in Equatorial Guinea on October 1, 1966 by Benito Mañé, an ethnic Fang farmer. Mañé had killed the rest of Snowflake's gorilla group (who were normal in color). Mañé then kept Snowflake at his home for four days before transporting him to Bata, where he was purchased by primatologist Jordi Sabater Pi.〔Riopelle, A.J., "Snowflake the world's first white gorilla", ''National Geographic'' 131: 442-8, March 1967〕
Originally named "Nfumu Ngui" in Fang language ("white gorilla") by his captor, he was then nicknamed "Floquet de Neu" (Catalan for "little snowflake"〔"The Name Is Snowflake", ''The Pittsburgh Post Gazette'', May 28, 1967〕) by his keeper Jordi Sabater Pi.〔(Sabater's pictures ), at the Sabater Pi Collection at the Universitat de Barcelona〕〔"Little Snowflake, World's First White Gorilla", ''The Palm Beach Post'', February 22, 1967〕
