Gorilla Swap: Frankie to Boston, Little Joe to Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Zoo and Bostons Franklin Park Zoo are swapping gorillas, Frankie and Little Joe, to bolster their critically endangered populations. This move, part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums species survival plan, aims to create genetically diverse groups. Frankie, known for his laid-back demeanor, joins Bostons bachelor crew, while Little Joe, a gentle and experienced silverback, integrates into Pittsburghs family group.
