Saturday morning, a gorilla at the Saint Louis Zoo was found dead in his cage. The accident was very unfortunate. The gorilla was supposedly strangled by one of the ropes in his "home" after he separated it and became tangled up in the mess. This gorilla was a lowland gorilla and from the facts, lowland gorillas live to be at least 50 years old. It's sad that this misfortunate event happend, considering that this young primate of 8 years old.
Adding to the bad news, about two weeks ago another gorilla in the exhibit died. Investigators are still not positive of the cause of death.
Along with the gorillas, there's also many other animals at the zoo right? Yes.
Not too long ago, tow of the elephants were diagnosed with a deadly type of herpes. One elephant is very ill and the other has shown no sign of illness other than a few small symptoms.
