Gorilla Behind the Scenes

 

Part of the Troop

Go behind-the-scenes with our keepers to meet the largest of all the primates. Learn the dynamics of gorilla behaviour and how the silverback (the dominant male) takes on the responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of the whole group. You will be amazed as the keepers explain the unique personality traits of each individual. Until you see them up close, it's hard to comprehend how magnificent gorillas really are, and that makes conservation efforts all the more important.
