On Dec. 13, the San Antonio Zoo opened Congo Falls, marking the return of gorillas to the city after over 35 years. Hope Roth, vice president of marketing, sales and communication, said they partnered with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, or AZA, to craft the 2-acre exhibit. “Congo Falls doesn’t just bring gorillas back to San Antonio, it raises the global standard for how gorillas are cared for, challenged and seen,” Roth said. AZA Executive Vice President Craig Hoover said the habitat incorporated the best science available on designing complex environments. “It represents the best of what we know about gorilla habitat design, and its innovation will be studied for years to come,” Hoover said.
