New digs for a dapper duo. | San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Two male gorillas, 11-year-old Frank and 14-year-old Monroe, moved to a newly renovated habitat at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park this week. Their expansive home features a variety of amenities including trees, rock formations, and indoor/outdoor access so the boys can engage in a variety of natural behaviors.
Wildlife care specialists made the decision to relocate Frank and Monroe after they began to increasingly challenge Winston, the Park troop's silverback, as they grew closer to reproductive age. Young male gorillas typically branch out from their birth troop between the ages of 10 and 15 to form bachelor troops or establish a family of their own, so Frank and Monroe's move aligns with great ape behavior in the wild.
Frank and Monroe's care team spent six months ensuring they would be comfortable with the move, even giving them control to push the button that lifted their travel crates into the flatbed of a truck. The gorillas' successful relocation is a testament to the incredible trust, dedication, and expertise the primate team shares with Frank and Monroe.

They are sooo precious. I love them so much. Frank has the most human looking features of the gorillas I watch.

Fantastic! So many of us love and want the very best for all of the Winston family. Hopefully, these too young fellas will have a family of their own, someday. Thank you for taking such care with them all 😃♥️

[@gritskennedy5007]

Why do they have to move away from their families when they in the wild remain forever in their own troops unless they are juveniles who then join a troop of females and younger or older males and establish their alpha position?

[@sweetsue1971]

Why don't you retire Winston and Kamilah in the back and let them have some peace in their last years? If Fort Worth did it for Ramses and Amani I'd say they deserve it too.
