There was an inaugural World Gorilla Day on September 24, 2017! A couple of weeks in advance, The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo announced the arrival of two new female gorillas! "Fredrika" (or Freddy) is a 43-year-old female received from Zoo Miami in Miami, Florida and "Kebi Moya" (or Kebi) is a 26-year-old female who comes to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell, Ohio. Both females join the Zoo's long-term resident "Mokolo," a 30-year-old male silverback gorilla to form a new troop!
