Virginia – Hugh Mongous
Hugh Mongous is a towering figure, both physically and in personality. Built in June 1977 by University of Richmond professor Demetrius Mavoudis, the bright Hawaiian shirt and swim trunks-wearing gorillas stand 45 feet tall and weigh roughly 11,000 pounds. Originally commissioned for a promotion at a local bank, he was later relocated to the front of the Jungle Falls (now known as Ocean Breeze Waterpark). This Hugh is actually the second of his kind—the original was lost in a fire in 1989 and had to be remade. Hugh Number Two was unveiled in 1996.
