Utah’s Hogle Zoo is excited to announce the arrival of mother and daughter duo, Mary and Pele, two female western lowland gorillas!

This move was a recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Gorilla Species Survival Plan, which seeks to maintain a self-sustaining, genetically diverse gorilla population for future generations.

Mary (34) and Pele (20), come to us from Busch Gardens Tampa. The mother-daughter duo was born at Gladys Porter Zoo in Texas, but has spent the last 12 years as part of the dynamic Tampa troop. During their time at Busch Gardens, their confidence and role within the troop has grown. Both gorillas will complete a standard quarantine period in the zoo’s great apes exhibit, and may be visible to guests during that time.

Staff from Busch Gardens who accompanied the gorillas on their journey reported they traveled well and offered some insight into their personalities. Both gorillas have unique, fun personalities. Mary has a pretty solid and confident disposition and has had four successful pregnancies that has helped enhance her mothering skills. She is all about family; loving, supportive, and steady. Pele is an excellent problem solver who loves learning and playing with the younger gorillas. Both enjoy working with trainers and are known for their “happy food songs”- the rumbling vocalizations that accompany their favorite meals!
