The Buffalo Zoo family welcomed a newborn gorilla over the weekend!

18-year-old Sydney gave birth on Saturday to a health western lowland baby, but caretakers haven't been able to get close enough to determine the sex of the baby.

The birth of a western lowland gorilla is very exciting to our community, and especially to our wildlife due to their critically endangered status in the wild.

The baby gorilla is available for viewing in the gorilla habitat at the Buffalo Zoo, however the gorillas make keep themselves secluded while the baby is young.
