Going to cheat a little the sloping ground means its in the new enclosure, so its either Asante or Ozala, too big to be the male son (forgot his name ).
Lastly the brownish tinge on her forehead, it must be Asante?
I would say 99% its Asante too. Can you believe she is now 23 but has never been bred from despite being the ONLY offspring of her wildcaught mother Eva?
It could be too late for a first baby from her now even if a fertile male arrives sometime(I won't say soon...).

I may very well be wrong, and I know I'm unlikely to correct if I disagree with Pertinax about gorillas - but I think this is Ozala as she has a rather chunky body, a round head with a fairly jaunty crest and a good-humoured scowl on her face.

... and I think you may be right (hence I only said 99%!) Looking again at it, facially she does look more like Ozala, but colourwise is more like Asante. I'm just not sure from this angle. Also she's chewing something which distorts the face a bit.

I've just realised that Asante(whether this is her or not) is a similar age now to Bristol's Romina who was also previously unbred from when she mated with Jock and had Namoki. So maybe its not too late for Asante to have a first birth either.
