Sully the Gorilla has given birth to a health baby girl, quite to the shock of Columbus zookeepers, who thought she was a boy.
Zoo officials in Ohio were in for quite the shock when a gorilla, who they thought was a male, gave birth.
“We’re thrilled by the addition of another birth for this critically endangered species. As the 34th gorilla born here since 1956 when the Columbus Zoo became the first zoo in the world to welcome the birth of a baby gorilla, she’s an important part of our work to conserve these magnificent animals,” the zoo said in a statement.
