The newest endangered baby gorilla at the London Zoo is more than six weeks old but doesn’t yet have a name.
A critically endangered Western Lowland Gorilla mother holds her baby, one of two babies born at the zoo in Jan. and Feb. this year, at London Zoo in London, Monday, March 25, 2024. – Zookeepers aren’t even sure if it’s a male or female because they haven’t been able to get close enough to examine it.
The tiny ape that arrived Feb. 8 is one of two baby western lowland gorillas born at the zoo this winter. Another mother, Mjukuu, gave birth to a little one almost a month earlier. The birth of Effie's baby wasn't simple. The gorilla arrived wrapped in its umbilical cord, posing a possible threat to its life.
