When did McDonalds stop sponsoring the Taronga Zoo gorillas?

Post by John Gray »

In 2004 there was a McDonalds' "Gorilla Forest" at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, but I can't find any reference to it now.

Does anyone know when the sponsorship ceased, and, even, why?

Well, from the looks of the plant growth, it ceased a long time ago! :innocent:

It moved to Claude's garden in order to feel more at home with the other denizens there.

They just forgot the word AT after the McDonald's.

It is now Hungy Jacks that sponsors it. I think it was in 2007 that the switch was made. If you want to see them, best time is 3:00pm when they are being fed. :smile:

I just looked for them in my backyard BobH, they appear to have moved on. :shrug:
Cheers, Claude.

Thanks, Claude - no 'Hungry Jacks' for us in the UK (as far as I am aware)...
