At Schmiding Zoo
Austria’s first baby gorilla born
A baby gorilla has been born at Schmiding Zoo in Krenglbach near Wels - the first time in Austria, according to the zoo. It was a difficult birth for mom "Kibibi", she was so weak afterwards that the zoo team had to temporarily take over the care of the newborn.
However, mom "Kibibi" is now fit again and is lovingly looking after her baby herself. In a few days, mother and baby will also be on display for visitors to the zoo.
The birth of Austria's first baby gorilla was anything but easy. A few hours after giving birth, "Kibibi" gave up looking after the baby and left it crying next to her.
Nurses took over baby care
"We decided to intervene, were able to rescue the baby and temporarily take over its care," says zoo director Andreas Artmann. The baby was given some glucose and infant formula milk.
After three days, however, the mother gorilla had recovered sufficiently to be able to look after the baby herself again. Mother and baby will spend a few more days in an area of the gorilla house that cannot be seen, after which they will be moved to the indoor enclosure, which can also be seen by visitors.
