"Zoo's Surprise: Unexpected Birth of Baby Gorilla Amazes Visitors"

Staff at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio were surprised when a gorilla they believed to be male for four years gave birth. Sully, who has been a resident since 2019, was discovered with her healthy baby. The zookeepers had never examined Sully due to her good health, leading to the mix-up. Gorillas do not typically show signs of pregnancy, and it is difficult to determine the sex of younger gorillas. The zoo will conduct DNA tests to determine the father, but they are confident that the new arrival is a girl. This birth is important for the conservation of the critically endangered species.
