TEHRAN, Jul. 04 (MNA) – 'Baran', the chimpanzee born in Tehran's Eram Zoo, will leave the Iranian capital for Kenya on Sunday night.

According to the managing director of the Eram Zoo Masoud Salim Johari, 'Baran' will fly to Qatar and then to Kenya to continue her life in an orphanage there.

The 4-year-old chimpanzee was born in Tehran but her too young mother did not accept her.

The Tehran Zoological Garden, also known as "Eram Zoo", is located 4 km on the Tehran–Karaj Freeway in the Eram Amusement Park, Tehran province, Iran.
