The name of the newest baby gorilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been revealed! Since the arrival of the western lowland gorilla to parents Azizi and Gino last month, guests have been waiting to hear her name. Just this weekend, the troop of gorillas themselves revealed her name themselves! After much anticipation, we learned that her name is Ada!

Pronounced AH-duh, this name comes from the Igbo people in Nigeria and can be translated to mean “first daughter.” After giving birth to two sons, it is a fitting name for Azizi’s first daughter.
Over the last couple of weeks, guests have been captivated to see Azizi and her baby bonding onstage at Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail presented by OFF! Repellents. Azizi’s favorite place to rest with the baby is right next to the glass, where lucky guests are sometimes able to get an up-close view of the pair together. Azizi’s son Cory is very curious about his new sibling and likes to visit with his mom and the baby.

The Announcement of Baby Gorilla’s Name
To make this exciting announcement possible, the animal care team formed letters using rice cereal for the gorillas to unwrap. The reveal activity was designed to stimulate the troop’s problem-solving skills and encourage them to interact with their environment. Take a look at the video of this unique enrichment activity!
As guests, we can see this cutie’s name written throughout Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail. It’s so much fun to be immersed in the excitement of this new addition!
Guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom can join us in celebrating Ada’s arrival by visiting Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail presented by OFF! Repellents. They may even catch a glimpse of Azizi and Ada as mother and daughter continue to nurse and bond.
If you would love to visit this gorilla family, a trip to Walt Disney World can be just around the corner!
