History
British zoologist Bob Golding turned the University of Ibadan's zoo into one of Nigeria's biggest tourist attractions in the 1970s.
The zoo was famous for two gorillas he rescued from traffickers. And Bob's animal kingdom even had its own TV show.
His wife, Peaches Golding, tells Ben Henderson how he did it.
