About Kouyou
Kouyou is a male Western Lowland Gorilla who was born on June 1, 2002, at Howletts Wild Animal Park. He is captive-born, with parents Sounda and Kifu.
His early years were spent at his birthplace, Howletts Wild Animal Park, where he lived for eight years. In July 2010, he was transferred to Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, where he remained for seven years.
In October 2017, at the age of 15, Kouyou was moved to the Gorilla Protection Project Lesio-Louna in Congo. This transfer marked his transition from captivity to a sanctuary environment.
