Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Binti Jua is a Western Lowland Gorilla female in the Brookfield Zoo, in the Chicago, Illinois area. This gorilla saved a 3 year old boy on August 16, 1996. The boy had climbed over the wall around the cage and after a fall of 20 feet lay unconscious in the cage. Binti Jua protected the boy from other gorillas. Her behaviour may have been the result of training by the zoo, which she received in preparation for caring for her own infant, Koola.
