Researchers at Barcelona’s Institut de Biologia Evolutiva say that Snowflake’s parents were closely related.

Researchers estimate that Snowflake’s parents were either a grandparent and grandchild, half-siblings, or an uncle/aunt and niece/nephew.

Snowflake was a Western Lowland gorilla who was found by farmers in Equatorial Guinea in 1966.
