| Ivan the gorilla moves in 1967 into a cage at the B&I Circus Store in Lakewood, Pierce County,after his capture in western Africa and arrival in Tacoma three years earlier. Ivan outgrew the pet-shop manager’s home, where the ape sat at the table for meals and watched TV’s “J.P. Patches Show.” Ivan’s $60,000 cage at the store includes a kitchen, TV and swinging bar, and he lives there for 27 years. He is sent in 1994 to Zoo Atlanta in Georgia, where he lives 18 more years in a more natural habitat and with other gorillas. |
