THE public is getting its first glimpse of a 4-day-old baby gorilla at the San Diego Zoo in California, the United States.

    The still-unnamed male was born Friday to mother Jessica and father Paul Donn.

    Visitors to the zoo Tuesday were able to see the newborn when Jessica brought him to a glass-enclosed viewing area. Zookeepers say she has been cradling and nursing the baby, who weighs just a few kg.

    She also carries the little one around as she forages for food.

    Jessica has five other offspring, but this is her first with Paul Donn, who is now a four-time father. (SD-Agencies)
