Blijdorp Zoo in Rotterdam is saying goodbye to its gorilla troop. In the coming years, all the apes will move to other zoos. Gorilla male Aybo has already moved to a zoon in Arcachon, France, according to the Rotterdam zoo. According to the zoo, the reason for the western lowland gorillas’ departure is Blijdorp’s new vision on species conservation and nature recovery. Some hard choices had to be made, and this was one of them.
