The one-day old baby gorilla was first sighted on 4th September 2020 and was produced by the female called Ndinkahe. “Ndinkahe” is a rukiga runyankole word meaning “where am I” the name came because the female Gorilla had joined the group from the wild and was not stable at first. Ndinkahe is now aged 16 and her contribution to the family is now visible as she adds to the group number.
