Der älteste männliche Gorilla im Vereinigten Königreich stirbt zwei Wochen nach dem Umzug in ein neues Zuhause

He had a hell of an innings and most importantly perhaps left his two youngest offspring (both born during Covid) as a new legacy. He was a lovely gorilla to watch and it’s clear from the press release his death has, unsurprisingly, massively impacted the team at BZS. I was looking forward to finally seeing him again in his new home, but I’m glad I was able to see him so often at the old Bristol Zoo. Bristol will inevitably find a new silverback, but I would imagine for now they will allow the family to grieve and get used to their new home.
