Cincinnati Zoo's Adorable Baby Gorilla Makes Her First Public Appearance



The Gorilla World exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden welcomed a new inhabitant on Tuesday.

Born just a week ago, the yet-to-be-named female Western lowland gorilla took her first trip to the outdoor exhibit and got to do a bit of exploring.

As long as both the weather and her health are good, she will be joining her mom Anju and dad Jomo there in the morning hours.

Those wanting to sneak a peek of the adorable little one are advised to show up at around 10 am.

The young gorilla is the 50th to be born at the Cincinnati Zoo since 1970.

She is, however, Anju's first.

Western lowland gorillas are considered critically endangered, and only about 175,000 of them remain in the wild.

They face significant threats including habitat loss and poaching.
