On this #WorldGorillaDay, we’re taking a moment to celebrate our juvenile western lowland gorilla ‘Okabe’. This busy little gorilla delights us every day with his non-stop curiosity. At two years old, Okabe is still nursing from his mom ‘Yewande’ but is showing lots of independence - just check out his acrobatics! 🤸‍♂️

Stop by the African Rainforest Building to wish our tiny troop member a happy World Gorilla Day! 🦍
