My family and I were also recently at the zoo - St. Louis Zoo. Their new primate house has a special gorilla exhibit with an interesting fact display board. Gorillas also nurse for an extended time. Unfortunately, we didn't see any gorillas (or other primates) nursing at the time of our visit, but my 22,10,and 8 year olds thought the information on primate childrearing habits interesting (after some eye-rolling).
