This little cutey is very young but it could be five years before it is known what gender 'it' is. Which reminds me of a time many years ago that we adopted a mountain gorilla called Jamie. Imagine our surprise when months later he was found to be a she. What else was one to do other than to tippex out the J on the certificate!

Did You Know?

Humans and gorillas are 98% genetically identical.

Male silverback gorillas can weigh 50-100 pounds more - and are about 10 times stronger - than the biggest American football players.

When the group is attacked by humans, leopards, or other gorillas, the silverback will protect them even at the cost of his own life.
