Contemplating

Hasani seems to be contemplating how he can visit Kelly's troop in the next enclosure. He and his roommate and half-brother Jabari will often stand up tall on their stone structure to try to catch a peek at neighbor Lowland Gorillas Kelly, Rapunzel, Glenda, or Evelyn.

 

 

Hasani was born October 12, 1994 to father Gino (born in 1980 in Rotterdam and now located at the Disney Animal Park) and Benga (born April 21, 1971 in Chicago LP and now located at the Disney Animal Park). Gino is a great Silverback and was in high demand for awhile. His parents were wild born Ernst who resides in Spain's Fuengirola Zoo and wild born Salome who died November 24, 1999 at the Givskud Zoo. Benga's parents were wild born Kisoro, who died September 24, 1986 at the Denver Zoo, and wild born Helen who resides at the Louisville Zoo.
