An “iconic” gorilla at the Toronto Zoo is showing “concerning health symptoms” ang is being kept away from the public, officials say.
In a post on Facebook Sunday, the Zoo said Charles – a 52-year-old Western lowland gorilla – may be experiencing serious heart issues.
The Zoo said Charles began experiencing the issues more than 48 hours before its Sunday post. Guests will not be able to see Charles for the time being, the Zoo added. “Our team is doing everything possible to keep Charles comfortable, and we will continue to keep you updated as we learn more.”
