TINY TRAVELS GORILLA KINGDOM

Baby gorilla takes first steps at 3 months of age.



The zoo keepers at London zoo are thrilled to see their youngest gorilla leave his mothers side and take his first steps around his gorilla kingdom.

The gorilla was nicknamed ‘Tiny’ because he is so small. Since his birth he had never left his mother’s side but suddenly, he started to copy what his mother had been doing and began to walk himself.

The zoo keepers caught the first steps taken by the 3 month baby gorilla leaving his mums side for the first time and walking by himself on camera and

In an interview one of the zoo keepers said “I was delighted when I saw the baby gorilla take his first steps at such a young age.”
