The female western lowland gorilla, Kabibe, died in a tragic accident on Friday November 7 (14). Zoo staff were carrying out their standard post-closing evening routine of moving the animals into their night quarters when Kabibe unexpectedly darted under a closing hydraulic door. This accidental death is particularly difficult for San Francisco Zoo primate staff members who provided 24-hour postnatal care for Kabibe until she was 6-months old. This type of accident is extremely rare and the Zoo wishes to assure the public that all animal care protocol at the facility is specifically designed with animal safety as the top priority. Kabibe—whose name means “little lady” in Swahili—first captured the hearts of animal lovers worldwide when she was born on July 17, 2013 to parents Nneka (16) and Oscar Jonesy (33).

The Zoo is investigating how and why this accident happened and will review Zoo policies, procedures and training in the days ahead to see if any changes are warranted. During a period of mourning and adjustment for the gorilla family, the Jones Family Gorilla Preserve will remain open to the public, but may be closed peri
