After Tamidol’s passing, the gorilla troop is deeply saddened, especially silverback Lomako and her daughter Nala.
Currently, baby Makongo is isolated from the group, living alone in a separate room and being bottle-fed by the zookeeper. Other troop members, except for the silverback, take turns visiting and spending time with Makongo.
Lomako, a devoted father, spends almost the entire day watching over and caring for his son through the glass.
