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.

Though there are no official databases tallying up the number of humans killed by gorillas – or any other animal, for that matter – experts suggest that it's exceedingly rare for these 'gentle giants' to attack humans.
