Floquet de Neu the albino gorilla

Sad to see a headline that Floquet de Neu, or Snowflake, the beloved albino gorilla at the Barcelona Zoo, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

When I saw him last autumn, he had just fathered several little 'uns, and was quietly playing with them (but staying out of the sun). He's the only known albino gorilla *ever*, and a proud emblem of Barcelona.
