New male gorilla from Kentucky zoo makes official debut at San Francisco Zoo

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — The newest member of San Francisco’s Zoo gorilla troop made his official public debut on Wednesday.

Cecil, a 26-year-old silverback western lowland gorilla, comes to San Francisco from the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky.

Zoo keepers describe Cecil as even-tempered, sweet and laid back.

This is the first time he will be leading a family troop and he is getting use to being around females.

Zoologists hope Cecil will be a good mate to the zoo’s three female gorillas.

“We feel like this is a new day for the zoo. And Cecil is kinda the beginning of the new day for the zoo, and such like that. So, we’re really excited to see him get along with the females and hopefully we’ll get some baby gorillas in the next few years,” said zoologist Robbie Graham.

Cecil will be a welcome addition after the San Francisco Zoo’s only male gorilla, Oscar, died unexpectedly in February.

The gorilla exhibit reopens to the public this weekend.

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football

A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.

After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.

When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.

With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
