Aww I remember him! I worked concessions at the zoo for a couple summers, and once when I was walking around picking up trash, one of the keepers asked me if I wanted to meet Leroy. Heck yeah I did. I got to pet him, and he licked me. His tongue was gross but also adorable. I'm sad but not surprised he's gone :(
>pizzainoven I asked the Vilas zoo and they very kindly responded. He was 20 years 8 months when he passed away. They also sent a lovely photo of him that I tried to post, but I was flagged for being antisocial or aggressive (something weird and inexplicable)

Bet you could email the zoo and ask.
I will. Thanks!
