Doubt it, the enclosure can't fit many more.

Are any gorillas leaving or arriving at any European zoos. Have any died or been born. If so what gorillas and at was zoo

I would advise reading what Shorts has said in the Chester thread. Read through this thread and you will find what you're looking for.

Gorilla born at Bioparc Valencia :

El tercer bebé gorila valenciano nacido en BIOPARC se llama MBELI

 

[KEEPER]

In fact, Mbeli born 3 months ago. In July.
But she just was named recently.
She was the 3rd baby gorilla (2nd female) born in Valencia.
She is daughter from Mambi (silver back) and Ali (who is Ebo's mother too)
Nalani has a baby female (13 months old) named Virunga.

I believe its designed to house up to eleven, but that total will include smaller juveniles and infants, not eleven adults. I can't see them adding any more adults into the existing group which will only increase in size with further breeding, which will be primarily from Touni, possibly from Kera, and unlikely from Salome(?) or Romina.

From Howletts FB; the four adult Gorilla brothers at Port Lympne are leaving for the Gabon tomorrow apparently.
