GROWING UP GORILLA

Gorillas Have a New Family Member

Uzumma gives birth to her first baby on March 4

We joyfully announce the birth of a western lowland gorilla. First-time mom, Uzumma, gave birth to a boy on March 4, 2020 at 2:48 a.m.

This baby is the first between 12-year-old Uzumma and 20-year-old Kwame, who moved from Smithsonian’s National Zoo in 2018. This newborn marks the 14th gorilla birth at Woodland Park Zoo. The last birth was Yola, a female born in November 2015. The new mom and her baby are off view in the cozy, sleeping dens so they can bond in a hushed, comfortable environment and staff can closely monitor them.
