Oh, what a shame. The gorillas seemed a happy group when I was there, apart from one quite aggessive encounter between one of the females and the male, which involved him biting her (I actually saw blood). That sticks in my mind because I have never seen a fight like that before. :(

The male (Caesar) was probably fighting with Evelyn, who has also been fighting with the current silverback (Kelly) at the LA zoo.
 
Sounds likely, then. It really did shock me at the time.

I've seen a couple of fights before, but nothing serious yet. The second female (Rapunzel) always comes to the rescue of Evelyn when she is being followed by Kelly. It's funny because Kelly loves Rapunzel so much that he won't do anything that will make Rapunzel mad.
 
Sounds like Evelyn is lucky to have Rapunzel around. How sad that she doesn't get on with Kelly, though.
