There's an adorable new face at an Ohio zoo, a baby western lowland gorilla.
An Ohio zoo welcomed an adorable — and critically endangered — baby gorilla over the weekend. The newborn western lowland gorilla is mother Sue's first child, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium said Wednesday. She's been very attentive to her baby, nuzzling and cradling the newborn.
He arrived at the Columbus Zoo a few years after Sue. Their pairing was recommended by the Species Survival Plan, which is a program by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums designed to maintain the genetic diversity of threatened and endangered species. The Columbus Zoo was home to Colo, the first gorilla to be born in a zoo in 1956. Colo lived to be 60, and passed away in 2017. In all, 35 gorillas have been born at the Columbus Zoo.
