It appears there’s an issue at the gorilla enclosure in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as the full troop did not make an appearance today, March 2.
Troop Missing at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We visited the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail to check on the apes, where we were told by a cast member that the full troop was not available. Checking further, we confirmed the male apes were out, but there was no sign of the other mammals.
Reportedly, one of the gorillas was picking at the gasket between one of the glass panels and damaged it. This damage needs to be repaired, and until it is, they will remain backstage.
The rest of the Exploration Trail remains open. The Angola colobus monkey exhibit at the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail in Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World reopened on February 23, 2026. Last year, the senior gorilla Gino passed away.
