According to Gorillas Land, Spike of Disney's Animal Kingdom passed away back in July. Do any of you know if this is true?

That is news to me; the zoo has not publicly announced his 'death'. Maybe a DAK regular could confirm?
I'm not sure if this is 100% true, since I recall seeing pictures of Spike on Instagram recently.
They could be old photos if they're not from DAK themselves; fingers crossed it's not true though.
Yes, it is. I just visited AK saturday and the staff told me this. Actually I was the first to release this information at FB.
Actually there are few more informations not so shocking:
• Grace also had developments issues (like Lilly. Genetics?)
• AK is working to move Flint and Cory.
• Gino is pretty healthy to a 42 yo male.
Also visited BG and Bolingo, Enzi and Oliver are together and fine.

That's tragic news, he wasn't that old, and from photos looked to be quite an impressive male.
Quite possibly, although Flint dosen't have any too despite being a full sibling? It may just potentially run with the females.
Makes sense as both males are now eight, about the age of dispersal for young blackbacks. I'd assume they'd be sent to be apart of a bachelor group somewhere together.
Can someone give me info about the lone (1.0) gorilla at Monkey Jungle in Miami, Florida?
I just looked in the USDA Inspection Reports. The 3/27/19 Inspection notes 1 Western Gorilla, however, the 6/30/21 and 4/8/22 Inspections do not list any gorilla.
Gorillas Land notes that King, their lone gorilla, was euthanized on 4/13/21.

Few comments:
Calgary Zoo - Calgary, Alberta, Canada - 1.6.0

Matadi is alone, she didn't get along with Kojo

Group 1: Bolingo, Enzi, Oliver → maybe Kishina?

Kishina is full time alone since Simsim's death, and before she would share the habitat only with him, she considered all other gorillas too rough and she is pretty dramatic.

Group 2: Kishina
Kishina is full time alone since Simsim's death, and before she would share the habitat only with him, she considered all other gorillas too rough and she is pretty dramatic.

Little Rock Zoo - Little Rock, Arkansas, USA - 1.3.0

Milwaukee County Zoo - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - 3.2.0
Group 1: Oliver, Dotty Mashavu, Nadami
Group 2: Maji Maji

Is this recent? In the past Hodari and MajiMaji were separated due to Hodari stress on exibit, but were back together and on exibit.
Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - 4.2.0
Group 1: Ibo, Mrithi, Moka, Frankie
Group 2: Harry, D’Jembe
Is this recent? Makes sense, Ivan was challenging Mrithi
Thank you for letting me know this information. Most of the information regarding the different housing arrangements is just information I found on Gorilla Land.
With the Milwaukee gorillas, I have seen Maji and Hodari alone on exhibit. The only ones I have seen together is the family group.
I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie hasn't been introduced to the main troop yet. Curtis only died a couple of months ago, so I'd imagine they'd allow the troop at least some time before beginning introductions to a new silverback (which can be quite lengthy).
Brookfield Zoo receive silverback:
1.0 Jontu (1997) has transferred from Saint Louis Zoo to Brookfield Zoo:
Brookfield Zoo welcomes new gorilla 'Jontu'
He joins their troop of five females.
1.0 Zachary (2015) has transferred from Brookfield Zoo to Saint Louis in his place.

Maybe it’s a non-breeding transfer.
I agree with @joshgrossglaza this may in fact be a non breeding transfer - Binti Jua's line is quite well represented so they may be choosing to hold off breeding for a while. A silverback is still essential to a dynamic group though, so they were always going to swap in a silverback once Zachary was old enough for transfer.
