Samuel and Henry Ford

Although they have different parents, Samuel and Henry Ford are being raised as brothers at the Knoxville Zoo.

 

Born in Knoxville, Samuel is the son of Chewbacca "Chewy" who was born at the Smithsonian's CRC in Front Royal, VA. Chewy now resides in Knoxville. Samuel is the nephew of former National Zoo red pandas residents Lao Mei and Xiao Mei.

 

Henry Ford hails from the Detroit Zoo and is the son of Rupert and Curry.

 

In April 2009, both 'brothers' will be transferred to others zoos.

 

And yes, there will be a test later. :-D
