Family Choice
KLRU has great programs for kids and great programs for adults,
but it’s not easy to find programs that all family members
can enjoy together. Each month, KLRU identifies a Family Choice
program from our schedule that will interest and engage family
members, ages 7 and up. Keep updated on the Family Choice
program-of-the-month and ways your family can build and extend
the program through discussion and activities.
NATURE's
“Snowflake: The White Gorilla”
Sunday, June 8, 7 p.m.
Also on KLRU:
Monday, June 9, 2008 from 2-3 a.m.
Wednesday, June 11 2008 from 2-3 a.m.
Note to parents: Parental discretion is advised. Program shows hunted dead gorillas. Snowflake dies at the end of the program, and this could be disturbing to young children.

In 1967, local villagers in Africa's Equitorial Guinea captured a remarkable baby gorilla. This young male was unlike any gorilla the villagers had seen before; instead of the thick brown fur of most gorillas, this baby had a coat of pure white. Through a series of fortunate circumstances, the rare white gorilla ended up at the Barcelona Zoo, where he became an international star.
He was given the Spanish name Copito de Nieve and the English name Snowflake.
NATURE's SNOWFLAKE: THE WHITE GORILLA is a fascinating excursion into this remarkable world and an introduction to history's only known albino gorilla. For more information, click on http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/snowflake/ |
