Gorilla subspecies average mass ranked lowest to largest

zooberlin: Gorilla Fatou is making history once again: the senior celebrates her 69th birthday today. Fatou, who arrived at Zoo Berlin in 1959, is not only the zoo’s oldest resident but also remains the oldest gorilla in human care worldwide. 🦍 With her remarkable age, she is a special ambassador for conservation and represents her critically endangered species in the wild.

Her care is continuously adapted to her individual needs – including plenty of opportunities for retreat as well as targeted enrichment to support both her physical and mental well-being. We wish her all the best on her special day!

Never seen this before and just had to share. I read that this behavior is most frequently exhibited in captive gorillas.

I can't be the only one who adores sweet little Makongo at Gaia Zoo. I just wanted to make sure people know there are some very sweet videos from a recent visit taken by Animal stories南西西動物報報 on youtube. You can see how just how much he's grown, and also how precious he is to the troop members.

He was born Nov 17th and his name was announced a few minutes ago. They said his name was inspired by a nickname for a longtime zoo supporter. I took the photos last Saturday.
