Carrying on a legacy 🦍
Silverback gorilla Paul Donn has joined the troop at the Safari Park as its first silverback since the passing of beloved Winston last year. Raised in the same troop when he was young, Paul Donn has come from the San Diego Zoo to help guide the troop and continue Winston's remarkable legacy of gentle strength.
Joining him is Jessica, a 44-year-old female also from the San Diego Zoo, who will add her own special presence to the troop. This transition will help strengthen family dynamics and ensure the continued wellbeing of the entire gorilla troop.
Guests can visit Paul Donn, Jessica, and the rest of the troop at Gorilla Forest, and witness this incredible new chapter unfold.
