From San Diego Zoo Global's Facebook: "Sad news: AC-5, the second to last California condor brought in from the wild in 1987 to be part of our breeding program, passed away due to complications from old age. He sired 25 chicks in his 27 years at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, playing an integral role in the recovery of his species. He endeared himself into the hearts of his caretakers, and words can't convey how much he will be missed. We invite you to join us in memorializing this incredibly important bird as he soars off into the great unknown."
Winston and Imani's little girl has been named Joanne. I would have preferred she get an African name that means survivor or fighter or something more fitting of the little gorillas fight and determination to survive. SD Zoo names new baby gorilla Joanne | San Diego 6 | Local News
I have to agree with you TZFan. She was named after a donor, Joanne Warren. Imani's adopted gorilla Frank was named for Joanne Warren's late husband, Frank. Imani was named after a donor named Faith. Imani means faith in Swahili.
