Mandaazi (from San Diego) will soon head to Sedgewick to be their new breeding silverback.

Sedgeqick's current silverback, Matt will form a third group of retired individuals, with Kivu and another female from another facility.

Mentioned in a private social post.

Columbus released several Masterplans, between them the gorilla's, somebody post at the Elephant thread.

Matadi, from ABQ, will move to Sedgwick to join Matt and Kivu.

Thanks for that, it wasn't explicitly stated in that persons post which female would be joining the retirement group.

Looking at her age, Matadi is indeed a nice fit to join Matt and Kivu, and will hopefully balance out the troop rather than it just being a 1.1 pairing.
