Two popular but endangered great apes are leaving the zoo in hopes that Berani and Casey the gorilla will father babies in their new homes. Zoo officials said in a news release Tuesday, June 6, 2017, that Berani had a daughter eight years ago, but Casey has been paired with four different females without any offspring.
