- Willie B. byl gorilí samec, který žil v atlantské zoo 39 let: od roku 1961, kdy byl odchycen v Kamerunu, až do smrti 2. února 2000. Byl pojmenován po bývalém atlantském starostovi Williamu Berry Hartsfieldovi. Willie B. žil v izolaci 27 let jen s televizí a zavěšenou pneumatikou, které mu dělaly společnost. Jeho osud se stal předmětem kritiky v médiích, proto byl v roce 1988 po rekonstrukci zahrady přestěhován do venkovního výběhu, aby se zařadil do tlupy a zplodil potomstvo. Jeho syn Kidogo, později přejmenovaný na Willie B. Jr., žije v atlantské zoo dosud. (cs)

Jeho syn Kidogo, později přejmenovaný na Willie B. Jr., žije v atlantské zoo dosud. Willie B. zemřel na zápal plic a jeho pohřbu se zúčastnilo na osm tisíc lidí. Ostatky byly spáleny a popel umístěn v bronzové soše gorily v životní velikosti. Po tomto stříbrohřbetém samci (jako stříbrohřbetý — silverback — bývá označován nejstarší a nejdůležitější člen gorilí tlupy podle charakteristického pruhu stříbrošedé srsti na zádech) byl pojmenován místní fotbalový klub .

He was named after the former mayor of Atlanta, William Berry Hartsfield. Willie B. was kept in isolation for 27 years with only a television and a tire swing to keep him company. In 1988, he was moved to an outside exhibit and allowed to socialize and raise a family. He then embraced his role as silverback and leader of a troop. Willie B. was the second Gorilla known by that name at the Atlanta Zoo. The previous Willie B had died at the age of 3 shortly before the better-known successor was purchased. Both Willie B's had been purchased from international gorilla hunter Dr. Deets Pickett of Kansas City. The second Willie B. cost $5,500 to obtain for the zoo. Willie B. fathered five offspring at Zoo Atlanta: Kudzoo, Olympia, Sukari, Kidogo, and Lulu. When he died at the age of 41, he was the oldest gorilla in the United States to have fathered offspring. Kidogo, the only male offspring, took on the name Willie B., Jr. after his father died, taking his place as the heir. More than 5,000 people attended the memorial ceremony held in his honor, and the zoo now has a life-size bronze statue of him on permanent display outside the Gorilla habitat. His remains were cremated and 80 percent of his remains were kept in a bronze box in the bronze statue at Zoo Atlanta and the other 20 percent were flown back to the African jungle. The Atlanta Silverbacks FC soccer team was named in his honor. (en)
