International primate conservationists have urged Malaysia to review a decision to send four baby gorillas, bought by a local zoo illegally last year, to South Africa's Pretoria Zoo, a report said today.

The four baby gorillas were believed to have been captured in the wild and smuggled out of Nigeria.

The International Primate Protection League (IPPL) told the Sunday Star that the Limbe Wildlife Centre in Cameroon was a better option as it has a good record with rescued gorillas.
