According to officials at the Calgary Zoo, a young gorilla in Alberta, Canada, died as a result of human error.
According to a statement released by the zoo on Wednesday, Eyare, a 2-year-old western lowland gorilla, passed away last week after being hit in the head by a hydraulic door that a staff member had unintentionally opened. For a solitary training session, the worker was attempting to keep Eyare apart from the other gorilla tribe members.
According to the announcement, the gorilla’s death was caused by severe brain injuries.
At a press conference, Colleen Baird, director of animal care at the Calgary Zoo, stated, “This tragedy has hit us all in the deepest way imaginable.” “Eyare’s brief but significant life filled our community with so much joy, and everyone will miss her terribly.
