Tammy, one of our female gorillas,
had a hysterectomy (due to uterine cancer) by a team
of specialists from around the state. Her ovaries
were transferred to an Omaha Zoo to harvest the eggs
to be used for invitro fertilization. Six eggs were
retrieved to help in the study of gorillas. Unfortunately,
we lost Tammy anyway. She died on November 26, 2000
to complications caused by the uterine cancer. She
is sorely missed by Rocky, her companion, and all
of us.
We have two of the oldest gorillas and two of the
oldest chimpanzees in the United States
