Though it was determined that apes have also a menstrual
cycle, there is no evidence that they are also experiencing aging process or
ending up their fertility years. This is a question that no primatologists have
never been able to answer. But while no one is ready to declare that gorillas
menopause, the Dallas Zoo is pretty sure of their observations to gorillas,
birds and bees. But the bases
for menopause are still open to debate, even in humans, according to the
latest article. And still according to Todd
Bowsher, mammal curator at the Dallas Zoo’s Wilds of Africa exhibit and a
reproductive biologist, “More research is needed before scientists can
state concretely that gorillas go through menopause.”
