Columbus Zoo Celebrates Birth of Critically Endangered Gorilla

The newborn marks the 35th gorilla born at the zoo, a significant step for the Species Survival Plan.

The baby gorilla, born to first-time mother Sue and experienced father Ktembe, is being closely monitored.
Zoo officials have yet to determine the baby's sex to allow bonding time with minimal interruptions.
The gorilla troop, including curious older sibling Jamani, is adjusting well to the new addition.
Visitors can see the baby gorilla starting Monday during limited viewing hours.
Western lowland gorillas face severe threats from habitat loss and the illegal bushmeat trade.
