Muscovites have chosen a name for the new inhabitant of the Moscow Zoo – a cub of a red-listed species Western Lowland GorillaMore than 216 thousand people shared their opinions.
The vote resulted in the young male being named Quito, with 35 percent of the votes cast for the name. Quito is the name of a city in Angola, a country where a stable population of western lowland gorillas has been preserved.
The name Zuberi (meaning “strong” or “powerful” in Swahili) was chosen by 25 percent of “active citizens.” The third most popular name was Kuango, which refers to a river in the Congo Basin. These rare primates also live there. This option was chosen by 18 percent of city residents.
The baby gorilla was born in early February. He is always in the arms of his mother, who sometimes allows other family members to come and meet him. Visitors to the Moscow Zoo can observe the young male in the Primates pavilion.
