The lowland gorillas have finally got a new enclosure after many years. In 2020 there were offspring when "Kato" saw the light of day.

A very nicely designed facility for the monkeys - indoors and outdoors. Here you can stand for a long time and watch the wild goings-on

Although gorillas have a predominantly vegetarian diet, they are still real powerhouses. Since their vegetable diet is very high in crude fiber but often poor in nutrients, they spend a large part of their time looking for food and eating. In order to be able to digest the fiber-rich food well, they put in longer rest periods in between.

The film industry has given gorillas a dubious image. Despite their enormous physical strength, gorillas actually avoid conflict as much as possible. They mostly communicate through body language such as eye contact or gestures.
