It just gets better and better for Brookfield Zoo’s newest western lowland gorilla, Jontu.

Earlier this year, the zoo announced that the 26-year-old Jontu had arrived from St. Louis Zoo to lead a troop of females. On Monday, zoo officials said they are getting set to break ground on a two-acre expansion of his habitat, Tropic World.
