The littlest member of the gorilla troop at the Calgary Zoo/Wilder Institute was treated to some special snacks and colourful decorations on Thursday in honour of her first birthday.To mark the occasion, zoo staff held a birthday celebration for the young western lowland gorilla, giving her and the rest of the troop special cupcakes and enrichment items to enjoy.
Coleman says Eyare used to stick close to her mom Dossi and her aunt Kioja, but has since developed strong relationships with her father Jasiri, as well as troop members Zuri and pregnant Yewande. "You’ll see her venture more on her own while exploring the indoor habitat as the adult troop members rest throughout the day," Coleman said.
"She is a very playful, energetic and bright little gorilla - a delight for staff and visitors alike."Yewande is expected to give birth in the late spring so the zoo’s official 'baby watch' will start in May.
