ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Marcus, the 35-year-old male Western lowland gorilla who has resided at the ABQ BioPark Zoo since 1987, has departed to become part of a breeding program in a neighboring state’s zoo.
Meanwhile, Kojo, a 19-year-old male from the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C., has taken up residence at the BioPark Zoo.
The name of the zoo where Marcus has been sent will be made public after he is out of quarantine and placed in his new habitat with three females and their offspring, BioPark Zoo manager Lynn Tupa said Thursday.
