Overview

• A 10-year-old western lowland gorilla named Denny struck the tempered glass on Saturday while interacting with another gorilla.
• Zoo staff said one of three glass layers was compromised, and they plan to replace the affected panel.
• An eyewitness described a forceful hit directly in front of her that left an estimated six-foot crack.
• Video of the charge circulated on social media, and local outlets reported the scene from the gorilla habitat.
• The zoo did not provide a repair timeline or say whether a different glass product will be used once the panel is replaced.
