The Smithsonian's National Zoo is celebrating after the birth of a baby western lowland gorilla on May 27. The baby gorilla is the first newborn gorilla at the zoo in five years.
Moke is also the offspring of Calaya and Baraka, said the zoo in its release.
The newborn's sex and other characteristics are yet to be determined, said the release. Zookeepers are letting mama gorilla Calaya bond andwithout human interference, and are"cautiously optimistic" that the newborn gorilla will thrive. The baby gorilla was born on May 27, sometime between midnight and 6:15 a.m., said the National Zoo. The zookeepers have not yet determined the sex of the new baby.
"We are overjoyed to welcome a new infant to our western lowland gorilla troop," Becky Malinsky, curator of primates at the National Zoo, said in a press release . "Calaya is an experienced mother, and I have every confidence she will take excellent care of this baby, as she did with her first offspring, Moke," Malinsky went on."Since his birth in 2018, it’s been wonderful seeing her nurturing and playful side come out."
