All around Bristol, last summer, were dozens of gorillas...
You surely now the cows in Praha, the lions in Lyon, or the bears in Montréal. Well, last year, to celebrate its 175th anniversary, and to raise funds to help a local charity, the zoo of Bristol launched "Wow! Gorillas". They asked many artists to paint some full-scale plastic gorillas, and arranged them around the city center.

But it was last summer... at the end, the gorillas were auctioned, and spread out in Bristol and away. Only remain booklets and little sculptures, for sale in some shops.
But it appears that a few of them are still visible. It's not only a myth, I saw some of them. And now, for you, I am going to track down and hunt the remaining gorillas of Bristol!
Here is the first I can give you. His name is Splotch. Because it seems that he was splotched by paint.
He stands proudly in Whiteladies road, guarding the entrance of Saco offices.
[no joke, Splotch is on the right!]
