Conflicting reports around - some say two old gorillas, Massa and Boma died.

The main breeding group of gorillas is held in a different house, and survived. However, their two geriatric gorillas were held in the Ape House, and died.

This, sadly, is indeed one of them.

@TeaLovingDave Ah ok, BBC just said the gorillas were in a different house and survived. Lazy journalism again.
