Since silverback gorilla Ndume’s return to his original home at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden in June of 2019, he has been living with two female gorilla companions and has formed bonds with his care team in Gorilla World, where the troop enjoyed some seasonal enrichment this morning to celebrate his 40th birthday.
🇺🇸We are celebrating Kindi’s 5th birthday! 🦍From clinging to keepers in furry vests to joining a gorilla family, our juvenile gorilla has come a long way these past five years. She’s the perfect role model for playfulness and curiosity. Happy birthday, Kindi!
Playful gorilla toddler Gernot shows off a perfect roly poly at ZSL London Zoo! Zookeepers have captured the adorable moment five-year-old gorilla Gernot showed off the perfect roly poly this week – after playfully practicing the move all summer. Footage taken by zookeepers shows the youngster preparing himself on a tree stump before pirouetting backwards and cartwheeling into a perfectly executed forward roll – making it a quadruple for good measure – while visitors gasp in appreciation.
