According to an Instagram post, a brand new and improved gorilla space will be opening March 2025 (next month). This seems really sudden to me, unless I’ve missed something and it’s already been reported on elsewhere. If this is the first announcement of it, I’m guessing either the project is really small (for the fast turnaround time) or they made a typo and it’s actually opening March 2026.

The joey has been confirmed as a little boy.
Denver Zoo on Instagram: " It’s a boy! We’re hoppy to share that Adelaide’s joey is a little boy! During a special gender reveal hosted by our animal care team, Adelaide pulled the string herself while Alfalfa offered some moral support from the sidelines—and out came a burst of blue confetti! This growing guy is hitting all his milestones, too. He’s been spending more time outside the pouch, curiously exploring his surroundings and stealing our hearts. : Animal Care Specialists, Thea M. and Kika H. #Joey #Wallaby #SavingWildlifeTogether #DenverZooConservationAlliance #DownUnder"
