A silverback gorilla has undergone a routine medical check-up — in front of a crowd of onlookers. 21-year-old Bakari had the health check months after arriving at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. The male western lowland gorilla arrived in July 2026 and is being tipped to become the next leader of its gorilla family.
