Massive "Aaaaaahhh!"

The day after my visit to London Zoo, Mjukuu gave birth to a son. He's the first gorilla to be born at the zoo in 20 years. "Aunties" Zaire and Effie were in attendance for the birth.

This incredibly sweet video shows her studying her baby unbelieving, and apparently totally in love with her new "toy".
