What was the name of the first chimp at London Zoo and how did he arrive?

Friar Tuck

Throughout the 19th century, most of the animals in the Zoo were sent by people from all over the world %96 diplomats, sailors, collectors. Some animals, like Obaysch the hippopotamus, were gifts to the Royal Family. Many reached London by sea and some were required to walk the last few miles from the docks to Regent's Park %96 the Zoo's first giraffes on their walk to the Zoo in 1836, panicked at the sight of a cow in Commercial Road! 'Tommy' the first chimpanzee arrived in more style in 1835, in a stage coach. http://www.londonzoo.org/history/animandvis.html May 13 03, 4:07 PM
