Detroit Zoo Welcomes Rare Gorilla Baby | Detroit News

A brand new baby gorilla has arrived at the Detroit Zoo — the second ever born there — and she’s already stealing hearts! Born July 12th to mom Tulivu and dad Mshindi, both rescued from Cincinnati as part of a vital conservation mission, this little one symbolizes hope for critically endangered gorillas. The zoo’s inviting the public to help choose her name — vote in person July 29–31 between three meaningful finalists: Lobéké (Cameroon’s gorilla park), Usala (“Forest” in Congo), or Amateka (“History”). Your vote could help shape her legacy — and remind us why protecting these incredible creatures matters. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
