March 16 - Gorilla Boys

Say hello to our three "little” gorilla boys, Henry (11), TJ (10), and Leom (9)! They are western lowland gorillas that joined our troop a few years ago and are part of the bachelor group with Ajari and Chaka. Gorillas start to mature into adulthood between 12-15 years old, when they become silverbacks. You can help save gorillas in the wild by recycling your old cell phones and handheld electronics at the collection box at the Zoo’s main entrance.
