The baby, whose sex is yet to be determined, is a member of a critically endangered species.
The birth contributes to the survival of what the zoo described as a critically endangered species.
Gorilla groups, or as they are known, troops, include both males and females and their offspring. The Saturday birth expands the zoo’s troop to six. That includes the newborn and a five-year-old Moke, who was Calaya’s firstborn. It may be awhile before the gender of the newborn can be learned, the zoo said. For now, according to the zoo, Calaya is being left to take care of the new arrival without interference.
