The newest addition to the Oklahoma City Zoo is here!

She's a Western Lowland Gorilla. Born to the silverback Togo and female Ndjole. Unfortunately, Ndjole has rejected her baby.

The vet staff waited 24 hours to see if Ndjole would show interest in her baby girl, but after hours of disinterest, the vet staff decided to interfere in the interest of the baby. Further attempts to get the two to bond will take place in the next few weeks.

Until an ultimatum is reached, the vet staff will hand-raise the baby girl.
