Kit is the father of three female gorillas at Franklin Park Zoo – Kira, Kimani and Kambiri.

He loves to eat cantaloupe and other sweet fruits, as well as zucchini. He is not fond of crickets and bugs.

Zookeepers say that Kit makes the best nests at night.

Most gorillas stay away from water. But, not Kit. When he lived at the Audubon Zoo, he liked to submerge himself in water with only his nose and one eye showing.
