London females go ape for Kesho?
Kesho, a Dublin-based 10-year-old “black-back” gorilla, was chosen to provide solace to female gorillas, Zaire, Effie and Mjukuu after their previous mate, Yeboah, a 20-stone silverback, died suddenly.
He had just conceived a baby with Mjukuu, the youngest gorilla, before his death. After taking advice, the zoo decided to get a replacement in order to bring balance and stability to the group.
