We found the Kabirizi family this morning without too many problems, but it was not so easy to to get near the female Mahisho, who was being closely protected by the silverback Kabirizi.
However, at one moment he was distracted and I got close enough to take the following pictures of the new arrival. I can’t tell if it is a boy or a girl yet, but it cannot be more than 2 days old:

Thank you Innocent! The newest member of the family is absolutely precious! Keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well. His daddy was probably proud! I am looking forward to the naming of the newest member. Thanks again for the beautiful photos!
Congratulations for Mummy. Very good news for all the people fighting for the survival of the gorillas. Thank you for these wonderful pictures. Hope the baby will grow up peacefully…
This is wonderful! Long lives these amazing creatures! We hope to watch her grow…..
Oh my, what a little miracle! Thank you Innocent!
I’m with Theresa, waiting on a name for the precious little bugger.
Is there anything more beautiful than seeing a mama gorilla with her brand new baby? Takes my breath away.
Thank you so much.
Well done, Innocent! thanks for getting a photo of the new baby for us. He or she is adorable.

Good heavens, the baby is so tiny and utterly lovable! I totally agree with you, Megan, these pictures are breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you Innocent for posting them!
AWSOME!
Its hard to imagine that something so tiny could grow so big!!! I think that’s the cutest baby gorilla i have seen! Quite adorable!!! We await the “jina” (name)!
Asante Innocent!
In a world where so much travesty occurs a little miracle happens! What a wonderful thing life is! Adorable little baby gorilla!
The little one looks a bit like Elvis to me……I wish for a better and longer life for baby and mother than he had
Thank you for the pictures an reporting, hope to hear a lot more storys about a good and healthy growing…
What an adorable little gorilla baby.. She/he looks so content having mummy’s protecting arms around her/him.
It’s quite comforting to see that life goes on and these gorillas have been able to cope despite all the unrest around them.
Oh, my goodness! Thanks for the news with photo! Mahisho looks a bit alarmed but the infant looks world weary already - a lot to adjust to!
Welcome, little precious! Innocent, thank you for so good news and beautiful pictures.
Yeah! Great news!!
