In a shocking twist ‘male’ gorilla gives birth to baby at US zoo
Hindustan TimesHave you ever come across situations that initially seem shocking but as the dust settles, they turn out to be adorable too? The image shows the ‘male’ gorilla and the newborn baby at US-based Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. How did the ‘male’ gorilla give birth to a baby girl? But here's the other incredible part: our dedicated keepers recently discovered that the proud mom, who was initially believed to be a male, is actually a female gorilla. The zoo further elaborated that this is a surprise but welcomed the birth of the baby gorilla as it “shines a spotlight on the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures and their habitats.” They added that the gorillas are “endangered in the wild due to deforestation, habitat loss, and the devastating illegal bushmeat trade”.
