BAR-88-01

BAR-88-01 was a female Western Lowland Gorilla who was born on July 5, 1988, at Parc Zool gic de Barcelona. The records show inconsistencies in her documentation, with a recorded death date of April 15, 1985.

Born in captivity to parents N’Tao and Urko, her case highlights the complexities that can arise in zoo record-keeping systems. The transfer records show she remained at her birth zoo.

The conflicting dates in her studbook entry reflect the challenges faced in maintaining accurate historical records across different zoo management systems. Each entry in conservation breeding programs requires careful documentation to support the protection of this critically important subspecies.
