Two more western lowland gorillas from the Milwaukee County Zoo will soon join the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s blended gorilla family. Sulaiman, a 4 ½-year-old male nicknamed “Sully,” is the half-sibling of nearly 2-year-old Zahra. Zahra transferred to the Columbus Zoo last year shortly after her parents died from gastrointestinal infections likely caused by a water supply infected with E. coli bacteria. Sully and Zahra share a father. (Grahm S. Jones/ Columbus Zoo and Aquarium via AP)
