Curtis and his little brother, Charlie, are settling in nicely at the Denver Zoo.

The Western lowland gorillas are transplants from North Carolina.

The brothers have joined the bachelor party of gorillas in Denver and can now be seen afternoons inside the Great Apes Building.

Zoo officials say bachelor groups of gorillas are fairly common. In the wild, the Denver Zoo said, “male gorillas will also form bachelor groups starting around the age of 8 years, until the male gorilla can get a female or females to coexist with them to form a family group.”

Curtis is 13 years old, weighing in at 454 pounds, Charlie is 11, and tips the scales at 434 pounds.
