Baby Gorilla Newest Star At Boston Zoo

POSTED: 7:38 pm EST November 27, 2004

BOSTON -- Boston has a new celebrity.

The city's Franklin Park Zoo has unveiled its latest resident -- a tiny 3-day-old lowland gorilla.

Crowds were gathered at the gorilla enclosure Saturday as the baby's proud mom, Kiki, showed her off, with photographers snapping away.

The baby doesn't have a name yet, since its gender won't be known for several months. Zoo officials have to wait until then to physically examine the infant without upsetting the mom -- who they say is very protective of her new baby.
