Zoo Atlanta introduces wildlife watchers around the world to a unique opportunity to observe the natural behaviors and daily movements of a troop of western lowland gorillas with the debut of Gorilla Cam, launching on Saturday, July 24, 2021. The cam will make its appearance on zooatlanta.org/gorillacam in tandem with a double birthday celebration for silverback Taz and his son Floyd.
Gorilla Cam will provide a view of one of the gorilla habitats at Zoo Atlanta’s renowned Ford African Rain Forest, which is home to four social groups of gorillas living in separate habitats. The camera view will be centered on the home habitat of Taz’s troop.
Floyd celebrates his second birthday on July 24. His father, Taz, turned 32 on July 20. The birthday celebration will take place at 9:45 a.m. at Taz’s troop’s habitat and will be viewable live via the cam.
