Our first gorilla baby born in 13 years is ready for a name, and we want your help! Keepers have chosen three name options, and your donation is your vote.
In addition to helping make history by naming this little one, every dollar raised will fund historic improvements to great ape habitats at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Every donation supports a brand-new home for gorillas, orangutans and more.
The winning name will be announced here, via an email to our members and subscribers, and on the Zoo’s social channels on Wed., Oct. 15, 2025.
Matching Donations
A generous donor has agreed to match all donations up to $25,000, so every dollar you give can make twice the impact. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is a nonprofit, and one of very few AZA-accredited zoos in the country that does not receive tax support. Zoo improvements depend on admissions, programs and your generous donations.
