Baby gorilla dies at Durrell

The gorilla, which had a twin that had already died, passed away over night, the conservation park has said.

Durrell only announced the news of the birth of the twins to mum Kahilli, yesterday.

Dom Wormell, head of mammals at Durrell, said: ‘We were extremely sad to find that Kahilli’s second infant had died during the night. This remaining infant had looked quite strong the night before and had been seen feeding several times throughout the day, so we were quite optimistic for its chances.’
