The gorilla troop continues to grieve the loss of one of its youngest members.

In the first few days following the incident, the troop was much quieter than normal.

The troop had the opportunity to see Eyare after her death.

Eyare was the first baby born while Walker has worked at the Calgary Zoo .

“She will always hold a very special place my heart,” said Walker , her voice trembling with emotion.

The zoo vowed to update staff training around hydraulic doors and implement new safeguards.
