The tiny western lowland gorilla, nicknamed 'Baby G', was born on October 26 last year at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

He was the first baby gorilla to be born at the zoo in its 139-year history, to his mother Nneka, 23, and dad, Mokolo, 34.

However Nneka did not show appropriate maternal care, so the troop’s eldest female, Fredrika, 47, who herself has raised four infants, instinctively took over looking after the new born.
