We have some exciting news 🦍💕
Kazi, one of our western lowland gorillas is expecting the arrival of her first infant this summer. Now in her second trimester, 12-year-old Kazi is believed to be about 4-5 months along. (the gestation period for gorillas is ~37 weeks) We cannot wait for two tiny feet to join our gorilla troop!

💕Looking for post Valentine’s Day romantic advice?💕
Take some from the wreathed hornbill! Not only will they pair-bond for life, but they’ll even court each other by sharing meals. And once they have settled down together the pair will go to great feats to raise their offspring. Quite the amazing couples!
