Gorillas - MEET Kebi Moyo, in Jameela's troop

This is the 3rd video in a series where I have the gorillas from the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo tell you a little bit about their backgrounds. This episode is with Kebi Moyo, mother of baby Kunda.
Details about Kebi: born at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium in 1991. Her dad was Sunshine and he was born in the San Francisco Zoo, and mom was Lulu and she was born at the wild in 1964. She has only been in two Zoos (26 years at the Columbus Zoo and 7 here in Cleveland). She has two offspring. She is the mother of Kunda and Kambera Dupe.

--In general, gorillas live 35 years in the wild. In captivity they get better food, medical care and have no predators. Life expectancy can range from 50-60 years.
GORILLA CONSERVATION - one of the easiest things you can do to help gorillas is to recycle your cell phone or other hand held electronic device. Recycling electronics helps support gorilla conservation programs. Cell phones and other electronics contain a mineral called coltan (it is short for columbite-tantalite). Coltan is mined in areas where gorillas live. Recycling cell phones reduces the demand for coltan, which helps protect these native habitats. Some estimates report gorilla populations have declined 25% in the past 20-25 years.
Kayembe was the first zoo born gorilla at the Cleveland Zoo.
Kunda is the second baby born in Cleveland in less then 2 years.
Jameela is the first baby gorilla born via c-section at the Fort Worth Zoo.
