A baby Western lowland gorilla rescued from traffickers in Turkey is set to return to Nigeria after months of rehabilitation at the Polonezkoy Zoo in Istanbul.
The gorilla, named Zeytin, was just five months old when he was found crammed into a wooden crate in the cargo hold of a Turkish Airlines flight from Nigeria to Thailand in December 2024. Turkish authorities described the infant as terrified, sparking national and international attention.
“It was the first time a gorilla has been confiscated at Istanbul airport. He was found inside a small box, and he was terrified: you could see it in his eyes,” said Fahrettin Ulu, regional director of Istanbul’s Nature Conservation and National Parks directorate.
Since his rescue, Zeytin has been cared for in a special section of the zoo. “When he first arrived, he weighed 9.4 kilograms, and now he weighs 16. And his height has increased from 62.5 to 80 centimetres. In other words, Zeytin, who was once a baby, has become a young gorilla,” Ulu added.
