The gorilla habitat at Zoo Miami is designed to mimic the natural environment of the African rainforest, providing the gorillas with ample space and enrichment activities to stimulate their natural behaviors.
Zoo Miami is home to a family of Western Lowland Gorillas, which includes several individuals that visitors can observe.
Zoo Miami participates in the Species Survival Plan (SSP) for Western Lowland Gorillas, which aims to maintain a healthy and genetically diverse population in zoos.
The gorillas are provided with various enrichment activities, such as puzzle feeders and climbing structures, to encourage natural behaviors and mental stimulation.
Their diet includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and specially formulated biscuits to meet their nutritional needs.
The gorillas live in a social group with a dominant silverback male, females, and their offspring, reflecting their natural social dynamics.
Visitors can participate in educational talks and programs to learn more about gorilla behavior, conservation, and the challenges they face in the wild.
