A western lowland gorilla born on June 1 at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago has been named Ali on Monday.
She and her mom Koola can be seen in the zoo’s “Tropic World” habitat. At four months old, Ali will begin exploring the habitat on her own but will still stay within arm’s reach of Koola. She will also start to sample small pieces of food, but nursing will continue for the next several years.
Western lowland gorillas are critically endangered. It is estimated that there are approximately 200,000 western lowland gorillas in their native West Africa habitat, and almost 350 are living in accredited North American zoos.
