In 1904, he was kidnapped from the Congo and sent to the United States, where he was exhibited with monkeys in zoos. His terrible history reveals the roots of racial prejudice that still plagues America today.

Although he originally belonged to the jungle tribe, their tribe did not have the custom of grinding his teeth into a jagged shape, and the human zoo artificially polished his teeth to attract the public, making him look like a human flesh eater, making him an important attraction in the human zoo.

Tragically, even after his release in 1910, he received English tutoring and began working in a tobacco factory in Lynchburg, he, like most people shown in the zoo of humans, ended up unable to cope with everyday life, like The Shawshank Redemption, and eventually chose to commit suicide.
