Big Jim is a Silverback gorilla housed in The Gardens and acquired by Marco as his main battle morph.
Biography[]
Big Jim is an adult Silverback gorilla who was transferred from another zoo to an exhibit at The Gardens[1] in California.[2] In 1997,[3] when the Animorphs intially entered The Gardens to acquire battle morphs to attack the Yeerk pool, Big Jim was acquired by Marco. Big Jim was Marco's very first morph, and became his primary battle morph.[1]
Three years later,[4] when the Animorphs began recruiting Auxiliary Animorphs, one of the new recruits also acquired a gorilla morph from the Gardens; it is unknown whether this gorilla was Big Jim or not.[5]
