A baby gorilla, rescued from a shipping container at Istanbul airport last year, is potentially set to be returned to Nigeria. The infant, named Zeytin through a public competition, has been rehabilitated at Polonezkoy Zoo in Turkey following his traumatic experience with smugglers. Since his rescue in December, Zeytin has made significant progress, gaining weight and growing taller.
Before his return to Nigeria, Turkish authorities are seeking guarantees to ensure that Zeytin will be protected from any threats posed by illegal wildlife traders in his home country. The situation raises questions about the measures in place to safeguard animals like Zeytin upon their return to native habitats.
