Calgary Zoo Confirms Gorilla's Death Due to Human Error

A zoo worker mistakenly activated the wrong door, leading to the fatal injury of two-year-old gorilla Eyare.

The incident occurred when a staff member intended to separate Eyare for a training session but activated the wrong hydraulic door.
Eyare sustained traumatic head injuries and died despite immediate medical intervention, including CPR.
This marks the second human-caused animal death at the Calgary Zoo in the past decade.
The zoo plans to enhance staff training and reevaluate door control systems to prevent future accidents.
The staff member involved has been reassigned and is receiving support from the zoo.
