posted in 03 Sep 2009
It’s is clear that Yeboah can wait to be transferred to London zoo. He lives at La Boissière du Doré zoo, west of France, and is ready to go to England. His French keepers are also excited with 12-year-odl gorilla’s reaction to the photos of three females of the species: Mjukuu, 10 years old, Effie, 16, and Zaire, 34. The female gorillas are with no males since the death of Bobby last December.
Yeboah was very happy! In London, the female “widows” also saw the photo of the French gorilla. Everything to make the recognition and the life of Yeaboah easier at his English harem. Vets believe that Mjukuu, the most extrovert one, will get pregnant soon.
"I think Yeboah is going to invest in her firstly, because she is very beautiful, very sociable and a terrible flirter“, said the keeper Tracey Lee.
