Five-month-old, now named Zeytin, was found in a box on a flight that was travelling from Nigeria to Thailand
A young gorilla rescued from a plane’s cargo hold is recovering at an Istanbul zoo, officials said Sunday, while wildlife officers consider returning him to his natural habitat.
The 5-month-old gorilla was discovered in a box on a Turkish Airlines flight from Nigeria to Thailand last month as it transited through Istanbul. After a public competition, he has been named Zeytin, or Olive, and is recuperating at Polonezkoy Zoo.
