Amari (from Buffalo Zoo) will join a male gorilla named Willie B., Jr., who is 22-years-old and has been living with other bachelor gorillas. The other female gorillas in her troop come from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Kambera and Shalia.

 

Willie B. Junior is on the list as "Kidogo." They must've changed his nickname to make him more popular to the general public.

Baraka is Kibibi's father, Kwame is her half brother.

 

Thank you for correcting this!

 

Actually, as weird as it may be. Kwame is Kibibi's father. Not Baraka.

 

Huh, how long did it take the zoo to figure that out? Because I remember them saying Baraka was her father (National Zoo Baby Gorilla Is Named), but yeah I was wrong, the website definitely says Moke is his only offspring (Western lowland gorilla).

 

To my knowledge the keepers have known since she was born. But it wasn't made known till later. Its still something that seems to be swept under the rug .

 

I don't think the general public cares about who is the father of who, which is why they don't talk about it much.

 

Calgary Zoo are expecting an infant. It will be the first offspring of Jasiri and Yewande:

Also, some worrying news from San Diego:

 

I discovered this via an online database a few years ago and was also surprised, given Kwame was Mandara’s then nine year old son. It’s never been acknowledged in the media as the zoo are understandably keen to avoid broadcasting Kibibi was the product of a mother/son mating.

Moke is Baraka’s only offspring at the National Zoo, but he sired a female infant in 2005 at the Henry Doorly Zoo. ‘Baina’ was born April 8, 2005; and died following a fall October 9, 2008.

 

I know this may be a lot asking but is there a list that shows who's in a certain troop? Let me explain, I know some zoos in the US, like Louisville and Lincoln Park zoos, have multiple troops. I greatly appreciate what EsserWarrior has done collecting all this data, I am just curious about the zoos with multiple troops, how many are in each troop, and which individuals they are comprised of.

 

I thought about organizing the list like this, but I decided not to. I may make a list that shows this and add it to the main list, hiding it with a spoiler.
