This is the home of what is believed
to be the world's largest primate,
:51:06
a 2,000-pound gorilla named Joe.
:51:09
Joe has been at the California
Animal Conservancy for
a little over a month now.
:51:14
He was brought here from Africa
by Dr Gregory O'Hara,
:51:17
- who told me that because
of Joe's remarkable size,
- My God, Pindi was right.
:51:20
he is a natural target for poachers.
:51:23
- Fortunately, the California
Animal Conservancy programme...
- He's beautiful.
:51:27
is rescuing animals
and bringing them here...
:51:29
- so they can--
- The most beautiful animal I ever seen.
:51:32
And the most valuable,
that's for sure.
:51:35
[ Woman On TV ] It can't escape
because it's surrounded by a moat,
:51:37
and there are also electrical wires
around the entire perimeter.
:51:40
- Isn't that the--
- Wait. Be quiet.
:51:42
Joe was raised from infancy
by Jill Young, the daughter of
famed primatologist Ruth Young.
:51:46
Their closeness stems
from a tragic bond.
:51:49
Both Joe and Jill's mothers
were killed by poachers
12 years ago in the Pangani Forest.
:51:53
- Bloody hell, that's him!
- They both became orphans
on the same night.
:51:57
That's the little fella
who bit your finger off!
:52:00
[ Sighs ]
:52:03
I'm always amazed how,
:52:07
if you wait long enough, the opportunity
for justice finally comes.
:52:14
Garth, book us two tickets
to America.
:52:17
We are going to pay a visit
to this incredible animal.
:52:20
I think I know how to convince
his current owners to part with him.
:52:30
[ Harry ] Now, this fellow is
one of only 300 wild yaks...
:52:33
remaining on the planet.
:52:35
Now, you may ask: Why should we care
if this subspecies of yak survives?
:52:39
- But if we don't protect--
- Excuse me.
:52:41
- Can we see Joe?
- [ Group Chattering ln Agreement ]
:52:43
[ Harry ] Yes, you can certainly
all see Joe for the mere price of...
:52:46
a diamond circle benefactor ticket
to tomorrow night's benefit.
:52:49
But, you know,
this is for a good cause.
:52:51
It's for the preservation
of an endangered species.
