A 5-month-old gorilla, rescued from a cargo hold of a Turkish Airlines flight from Nigeria to Thailand, is currently recuperating at Polonezkoy Zoo in Istanbul. The gorilla, named Zeytin, was discovered in a box last month and has shown signs of recovery since then.
Officials are considering the possibility of returning Zeytin to his natural habitat, emphasizing the importance of ensuring a safe environment for the young gorilla. Fahrettin Ulu, regional director of Istanbul Nature Conservation and National Parks, expressed the desire for Zeytin to continue his life in his homeland.
