Rejected baby gorilla who had to move zoos has been named, Cincinnati Zoo, Ohio, America -1 March 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Cincinnati Zoo/REX (2165885h)
A four-week-old, female, baby gorilla born at the Gladys Porter Zoo (GPZ), in Texas was transported over the weekend to Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio after being abandoned by her mother., FULL COPY
A baby gorilla that captured the world's heart has turned one
Gladys the baby Western-Lowland gorilla who captured the world's heart last year, after keepers at Cincinnati Zoo stepped in and hand-raised her, turns one today.
To celebrate, keepers created a gorilla birthday cake and Gladys responded the way most one-year-olds do - face first.
Because gorilla diets do not consist of sugary frosting, commissary keepers at the Cincinnati Zoo got creative and baked a cake using two layers of rice, raisin, banana, sweet potato, and biscuits, topped with pureed banana and sweet potato and decorated with a variety of fruit, including pomegranates, lemons and grapes.
Gladys was born in January last year at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Texas; however, her mother didn't respond well after the birth and rejected the infant.
Gladys Porter Zoo had to quickly find a surrogate mother and the Cincinnati Zoo was determined to be the best home for the baby.
Primate Curator at the Cincinnati Zoo, Ron Evans said: "People often ask me what it was like to go through this experience with Gladys and I can honestly tell them that it was unlike anything I have experienced in my 30 years here. It was the best experience of my life and something I hope we never have to do again."
Since June, Gladys has been slowly introduced to four adult female gorillas. The first, "M'Linzi", quickly stepped up and became Gladys' surrogate mum. Since then, "Mara", "Samantha", and "Chewie", have joined the growing group. Eventually, staff plan to introduce a silverback gorilla to this group.

Polo, the Worlds Loneliest Gorilla, Mysore Zoo, Karnataka, India - 08 Jan 2010
Polo, the only gorilla left in Indian and South Asian zoos, in its enclosure at Mysore Zoo, Karnataka, India.
Zoo director, Vijay Ranjan Singh has issued a plea for anyone who can assist in finding a female companion for Polo to come forward.
Polo is male, 36 years old and was donated to Mysore Zoo by Ireland's Dublin Zoo.
Polo's erstwhile female companion Sumathi died of old age 13 years ago. It has been alone ever since.
Facilities for gorillas include three adjoined 3/4 acre plots enclosed by a 15 feet wall. There are 9 compartments within a circular indoor enclore, all 10' in width and 12' in length. The front portion is provided with bars. Another side of the compartment has a wooden platform for sleeping.
A pair of yong gorillas are also being sort by the zoo to start a gorilla breeding programme.

Zoo director, Vijay Ranjan Singh has issued a plea for anyone who can assist in finding a female companion for Polo to come forward.
