It had been 23 years since a baby Gorilla was born at North Carolina Zoo when on August 4th, "Bomassa", a healthy male, was born to 12-year-old "Jamani".
The rare births are cause for celebration not only for N.C. Zoo but also
for the entire Gorilla Species Survival Plan (SSP®), the group
responsible for the long-term sustainability of the western lowland
gorilla population in North American zoos. With these births, the
Gorilla SSP moves closer to its target population size of 360
individuals in 52 zoos.
