The gorilla Awali is the latest newcomer to arrive in the Barcelona zoo. The animal will be living in the same cage that Snowflake, the deceased albino gorilla, used to occupy. Snowflake became a symbol of the city and was the most visited animal in the zoo until he died one year ago. The arrival of a new gorilla at the zoo, even if it is not an albino, has created great expectations. A spokesperson has said that he thinks that there will be a significant increase in the number of visits to the zoo. 13 years old, 200 kilo Alawi has come from Paignton zoo, in Britain, within the framework of an European exchange program involving several zoos. The main aim of Alawi's stay in Barcelona is reproductive. Hi is living with four female gorillas, the same ones that shared the installations with Snowflake. European zoos encourage the reproduction of animals in captivity so that there is no need to hunt those who are still living in freedom.
In addiction, the zoo has launched a camapign entitled "Lets's save rhinos" which aims to help prevent the animals from becoming extinct.
