A 50-year-old rare gibbon-siamang hybrid, Shawn-Shawn, was euthanized on Dec. 31, 2025, at Noah’s Ark Sanctuary due to sudden health decline.
Shawn-Shawn, a rare gibbon-siamang hybrid born in 1975 at Zoo Atlanta, was humanely euthanized on December 31, 2025, at Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary in Georgia after a sudden decline in health.
The 50-year-old primate, known for her playful nature and distinctive calls, had lived at the sanctuary since 1997.
Veterinary exams suggested possible kidney issues, heart failure, and cancer, making surgery unviable.
The sanctuary honored her life, including a birthday celebration earlier in 2025, and plans to memorialize her remains following a necropsy by the University of Georgia.
