Two gorillas who used to live at the Calgary Zoo, one of whom is an internet sensation, have now settled at their new home in Dallas, Texas.
Shana and Zola, a couple of Western Lowland gorilla brothers, left Tuesday for the Dallas zoo. The new home will allow the gorillas year-round access to the outdoors.
Zola became famous after a video of him break dancing went viral on YouTube. The video garnered 3,000,000 hits.
Plans to move the animals have been in the works for a year. Officials said the decision had nothing to do with the flood.
