A five-month-old baby gorilla was found in the cargo hold of a Turkish Airlines plane flying from Nigeria to Thailand.. The Daily Star writes about this.

Baby gorilla rescued from plane cargo hold after traumatic intercontinental journey.

Five-month-old primate, named Zeytin, was found during a transplant in Istanbul.

The baby is now recovering at the Istanbul Zoo, where voting on a name for the gorilla was open to the public.. Zeytin was chosen instead of Olive.

After flying across continents, Zeytin recovers, gains weight and becomes more self-confident.

" Now he doesn't have that shyness. He doesn't even pay much attention to us. He plays on his own,” said zoo veterinarian Gulf Esman..



Journalists stressed that both species of gorillas, the western and the eastern, which inhabit the remote forests and mountains of Central Africa, are classified as endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

In particular, the species' decline is caused by habitat loss, poaching and disease..
