As Ivan becomes more and more protective of Ruby, he vows to get her out of the mall – somehow. Maybe gorillas (and elephants) belong in wild places with their own kind. When Ruby, a young elephant, arrives to share Stella’s cage, Ivan starts to realize that maybe life in the mall is not normal. Ivan also loves to draw and paint, and Julia is fond of bringing him supplies. He misses Tag, but he loves Stella and Bob, and even Julia, a girl who comes to see him on a daily basis. The only thing he remembers vividly is his sister, Tag, and the way she used to chase him playfully through the trees. Ivan can hardly recall the life he led as a young gorilla. ![]() ![]() He lives at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall – in a small cage he calls a domain – and his best friends are Bob the dog and Stella the elephant. Ivan doesn’t live in the lush forests with other gorillas. Although he is massive and strong like other silverbacks, he doesn’t have the opportunity to use his power to protect his family.
