Zoo keepers just announced the birth of a baby gorilla at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. The baby’s mother, Frala, is Western-lowland gorilla. The father, Kibali, is a Silverback. Lisa Ridley, the primate keeper, told ABC News Australia, “The baby is strong, healthy, has good coloration, gripping on really tight, and we’ve seen a lot of suckling, which is a really good sign.” Because Frala has been holding her so close, the zookeepers have yet to determine the sex of the baby gorilla.
