SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The newest member of San Francisco's Zoo gorilla troop made his official public debut on Wednesday. Cecil, a 26-year-old silverback western lowland gorilla, comes to San Francisco from the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky. Zoo keepers describe Cecil as even-tempered, sweet and laid back. This is the first time he will be leading a family troop and he is getting use to being around females.
Peterson even revealed the timeline, saying the pandas should arrive by the end of the year and if everything goes according to plan, the public could see them starting in April of 2026.
