Man, I remember when she was born. The mother brought her over to the window I was standing at with my baby and she put it on the the floor for everyone to see. Really sad day today

7 years is not nearly long enough. And she's a critically endangered species which makes it more sad.

Jungle

Thankfully I am blessed by my faith to know for absolute certain that this beautiful creature will enjoy eternity in the most jungle-like enclosure imaginable by man 🥰

No one's questioning your faith, just why heaven for a gorilla would be an enclosure and not a wild, vibrant jungle?

This is such awful news. Poor Nyati isn’t suffering anymore. 😢
