Western Lowland Gorilla Troop at the Toronto Zoo #gorilla #greatape

Western lowland gorillas live in troops with usually 1 or 2 males, one being the dominate male that leads and takes care of the troop. They are one of the 8 species of great apes and males often live solitary lives. Here at the Toronto Zoo, the gorilla troop doesn't have a dominate male as Charles, the former leader passed away at the age of 52. He was a beloved part of the zoo and was here since the zoo opened in 1974.

In Loving Memory of Charles
