Calaya, one of the zoo’s western lowland gorilla, gave birth to a baby boy Sunday.
D.C. has a tiny new arrival! A newborn gorilla made his arrival Sunday, the Smithsonian's National Zoo announced.The baby's name, Moke, means"junior" or"little one" in Lingala, the zoo said. His name is pronounced mo-KEY.
Keeper Melba Brown helped acclimate Calaya to motherhood by showing her photos of mother gorillas and giving her a plush gorilla toy to touch and kiss. Brown also trained her to present her chest so keepers could place the toy gorilla to her breast to"nurse," the zoo said.
