❤️🦍 Happy 5th birthday, Moke! On this day in 2018, his #GorillaStory began. Today, he's all swagger with a good dose of goofiness! We love reliving this magical moment between Moke and his mom, Calaya, and can't wait for him to meet his new sibling, due later this summer. 🥰

❤️🦍 During a recent play bout, our father-son gorilla duo both brought some signature moves, from Baraka's "spin-and-pin" to Moke's "toe tickle!" 🔊👂 Turn up the volume and listen for low, breathy, staccato vocalizations—that is what gorilla laughter sounds like! #GorillaStory
