12'' Handmade Bowl Featuring Historic Gorilla Cantsbee's Nose Print

 Just like human fingerprints, mountain gorilla noses are distinct. While all individuals in every gorilla subspecies may have unique nose prints, they are the most distinct in mountain gorillas. In fact, mountain gorilla nose prints are one of the best ways for humans to learn and identify individuals in the field. Even Dian Fossey used this identification method and drew nose prints for the gorillas she watched.

Cantsbee

"Cantsbee" was named after Dian Fossey mistakenly thought his mother, Puck, was a male. "Upon hearing the news from an incredulous student...I exclaimed, 'It can't be!' Thus Puck's first infant gained the name Cantsbee." Cantsbee has over 25 offspring and lead the largest group of mountain gorillas ever recorded - Pablo's group. He also holds the record for the longest consistent group leadership!
