Dublin Zoo has recently made headlines with both heartwarming and heartbreaking news. To celebrate Mother's Day, Dublin Zoo is offering free entry to all moms, along with exclusive discounts at selected dining spots. Families can enjoy themed keeper talks and get up close with adorable baby animals. However, amidst the joyous occasion, the zoo also announced the passing of their beloved orangutan, Sibu, a gentle and intelligent 45-year-old primate.

Sibu, the iconic figure at Dublin Zoo for the past 40 years, has left a void in the hearts of staff and visitors. The zoo staff expressed deep sadness over the loss of Sibu, describing him as a caring and highly intelligent orangutan. Despite the sorrow, Dublin Zoo continues to honor zoo mothers through special events and educational programs.

In the wake of Sibu's passing, Dublin Zoo reminds us of the fragile beauty and preciousness of wildlife. The bond between animals and humans is a testament to the importance of conservation efforts in preserving our planet's rich biodiversity. Let's cherish every moment with these magnificent creatures and strive to protect and respect their habitats for future generations to come.
