The zoo debuted this species in 2014, and Scotter’s birth is a first.
Meanwhile, Gandai, the baby Western lowland gorilla, has four teeth, is eating soft solid foods, and is getting new items to eat every few days, in order to test for food allergies. The zoo says she is getting better at clinging and is working toward walking.
The zoo's staff is helping to raise Gandai because her mother is hearing impaired and doesn't always properly handle the baby.
