He Grew Up With Animals
In 1957, Damian Aspinall’s father, John Aspinall, founded the Howletts Wild Animal Park. So, Aspinall spent his childhood inside the 700-acre estate in Kent, England. In fact, Aspinall claims that a surrogate gorilla mother helped him climb down from a tree he was stuck in. It’s too bad she wasn’t around when his wife got dangerously close to a gorilla years later.
