Susie was brought to the U.S. on the Graf Zeppelin in 1931 and displayed at the Cincinnati Zoo. (The St. Louis Zoo receive a chimpanzee brought on the same flight.) Susie would have a meal with her trainer, Bill Dressman as a popular attraction. She lived until 1947, one of the longest lives for a gorilla of that period.
