Make content about: Ayana is leaving her troop
Ayana is reaching the age to leave her troop. Soon she will move to France to start a family of her own.
This story
At nine years old, Ayana is reaching the stage where wild western lowland gorillas leave their group. As part of a conservation breeding programme, she is due to move to a zoo in France to join a new troop and eventually start a family. Before travelling in mid-November, Ayana is completing a 40-day indoor quarantine with her younger brother Juni to meet French regulations.
