Baby gorilla just been born at Twycross Zoo (Pictures!)

[pokerfan]

The Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire, U.K., has just announced the birth of an endangered Western Lowland gorilla. Born to parents Ozala and Oumbi on January 3, the yet-to-be-named baby's gender is still not known, because the mother is guarding it carefully.

4. precious baby. I'll bet momma is guarding him or her carefully!

"Get near my baby, lose your head. Your choice."

Maybe this sounds weird, but I don't know how humans can look at primates and not see ourselves. I do. I see "baby". Not kitten, not puppy, but "baby".

I love every creature and don't understand violence toward any of them, but in particular, it seem like it would be so repulsive to harm primates.
