Choomba, a beloved gorilla at Zoo Atlanta, was euthanized on Thursday at 59-years-old after a decline in her physical condition. She was the second-oldest gorilla at the zoo and the fourth-oldest in the world, according to a news release from Zoo Atlanta. Choomba suffered from advanced arthritis and other age-related conditions that brought concern to her quality of life days before her death, the zoo's statement said. The Animal Care and Veterinary Teams ultimately decided it would be best to euthanize her "given her poor prognosis." “This is an extremely difficult day for Zoo Atlanta and most particularly for Choomba’s care team, who knew her intimately and saw and cared for her daily with the greatest dedication," Jennifer Mickelberg, Vice President of Collections and Conservation, said in the release. www.yahoo.com/news/choomba-one-worlds-oldest-living-142647723.html
