It’s the end of an era at the zoo: Little Joe is moving on. After decades at Franklin Park Zoo, the beloved gorilla is heading to another accredited institution to (hopefully) start his own family. 

No official goodbye party has been announced (should we throw one?) but we do have some happier news for you today. We’ve got a pair of tickets to Red Rum Club up for grabs and all you have to do is enter to win.
