How To Give a Gorilla an Echocardiogram

Ever wondered how veterinarians check the heart of a 400+ pound silverback gorilla? In this behind-the-scenes video, watch how the expert team at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo—and a specialist from the Cleveland Clinic—perform an echocardiogram on Mokolo, the troop’s impressive silverback. An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound of the heart, and it’s one of the key tools used to monitor for cardiac disease in great apes. Mokolo, like many adult male gorillas , is at risk for heart disease, and this regular check-up helps ensure his ongoing health and well-being. Thanks to years of positive reinforcement training and deep trust with his care team, Mokolo voluntarily presents his chest through a mesh barrier so keepers and vets can work safely. It’s a powerful example of how modern zoo veterinary care, patience, and compassion come together to help endangered animals thrive. You’ll also spot young Kayembe curiously observing the procedure—and hoping for a snack—as well as other moments of family interaction among the gorilla troop. 💛 Don’t miss this fascinating look at gorilla health care, trust-based training, and the human-animal bond. 🔗 Want to learn more about Mokolo’s condition?
