Description
A gorilla born at Woodland Park Zoo in June will need to be relocated to another zoo, according to staff.
The first-time mother, Akenji, rejected the infant gorilla, who has not yet been named. The gorilla was born on June 28 and has been cared for by humans 24/7.
This is not ideal for the animal's development, according to zoo staff, because it does not provide them with the same confidence or sense of security to thrive in the gorillas' complex social groups.
