Actually, its much longer as they had another unsuccessful male/female combination before Jitu arrived.
Hopefully now that they have a (potentially) good male and three good females they can finally expand the group with breeding.

Good news & sorry I queried you- though I suspected you might be 'in the know' from the way you posted the info.I looked on the website today but there is still nothing. Maybe Xmas period got in the way.
Expect pregnant Gorillas forthwith !!!
Don't worry about it. I know as well as anyone that a lot of complete rubbish gets passed off as fact on the internet, so you've gotta be careful.
As for Blackpool - yes, fingers crossed for baby gorillas! I think the zoo deserves it, its a very nice zoo IMO and the gorilla island is excellent, plus it would be a good attraction for them. And of course, more baby gorillas has got to be a good thing!
I would agree. They look after their Gorillas very well and have made several exchanges to rectify the non breeding situation in the past, though not successful. I am pretty confident they will be breeding soon now
Do you know if the male 'Bukavu' is with the females yet?

Not sure sorry - that update I posted was the most recent. I expect it'll be on the official website in due course though, if I hear anything I'll post it on here of course.
