Baby Gorilla Makes Her Debut!

The San Francisco Zoo is thrilled to announce that Kabibe (Swahili for "little lady"),
the Zoo's 5-month old female gorilla, is now ready to meet the public on Saturday
December 21, at the Jones Family Gorilla Preserve.

Over the last month, the care of the infant has slowly and carefully been transitioned
from Zoo animal staff to the infant's western lowland gorilla family. These important
introductions began with the matriarch of the six-member troop, 33-year old Bawang,
who eagerly served as surrogate mother to five-year old male Hasani under similar
circumstances. As predicted, Bawang instantly assumed the role of adoptive mother
of the infant and they have been together ever since. Under Bawang's careful supervision,
each gorilla has made the little one's acquaintance and each one has expressed their
curiosity and affection in their own way. Big brother, Hasani, is particularly excited
to have received a baby sister for his fifth birthday, which was on December 8. 
He is often seen playfully engaging with the infant under the watchful eye of the
troop's females.
