If I mentioned a fellow called Boris, with a lot of hair, who spent part of his early life in New York, before coming to live in the UK and fathering a bunch of kids, you might think of the erstwhile Prime Minister, but no, I mean the much more appealing, Boris the Chimp, of Chester Zoo, who sadly passed away a few days ago at the age of 58.

As a loved and long time resident, the zoo honoured him with a statue. The nearest the other Boris is likely to get is an effigy.
