Description
Kipenzi turned one on the 15th January. Kipenzi is starting to find her confidence but still staying very close to mum, only venturing small distances to climb and pick up branches that mum has dropped. She is still suckling from mum Kriba and will do so for the next 3 or 4 years. They in a room on the side of the exhibit with low light. The father is not letting anyone inside.
Her father is the magnificent silverback, Kibabu, who retired to the Mogo Zoo on the New South Wales south coast in 2013. This picture was taken at 2012. They are western lowland gorillas.

I love this loving capture!! it shows the bond between the mother and the child!! i guess by now little Kipenzi is full of confident and more independent!! i think the mother will want to have this precious image framed on their wall in the zoo!! ;) L/F
