Uzumma (uh-zum-ma), a western lowland gorilla, gave birth to a healthy boy on March 4 at Woodland Park Zoo. The zoo is pleased to share the first photos and video of the first-time mom and her newborn.
The baby, who is not yet named, is the first offspring between 12-year-old Uzumma and 20-year-old Kwame.
The new mom and baby remain off view in the sleeping dens where they can bond in a hushed, comfortable environment and staff can closely monitor them.Â
Stay tuned to updates by following the zoo’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. #GrowingUpGorilla.Â
