Beloved Gorilla Kitombe Passes Away at Boston Zoo

Kitombe, a western lowland gorilla affectionately known as "Kit," has passed away at the age of 38 at the Boston Zoo. His death occurred on Thursday evening, leaving a significant void in the hearts of both the staff and visitors who had come to love him over the years.

Kitombe had been facing serious health challenges prior to his passing, and despite the dedicated care provided by the zoo's veterinary team, his condition ultimately proved too severe. The gorilla was a cherished member of the zoo community, known for his gentle demeanor and playful spirit. He had a special bond with the zoo staff, who often shared stories of his unique personality and interactions.

The loss of Kitombe serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of wildlife and the ongoing challenges faced by endangered species. The Boston Zoo is committed to honoring his legacy and continuing efforts to protect and conserve the habitats of western lowland gorillas and other vulnerable species.
