No, YWP has never had gorillas. There was a planning application for what was rumoured to be a gorilla exhibit but there are no gorillas resulting from it.

No, they have never had gorillas, they were planning on it with the extension but things seem to have gone quiet. The leopard enclosure was built specifically for leopards, and I’m not entirely sure but I think that before them it was a field with guanacos maybe?:)

No they never have had Gorillas - Leopard Heights was built specifically for them, nothing there before that. There are rumours that YWP may build a space for gorillas in the future though!
