Mjukuu - pregnant lowland gorilla

Gorilla Kingdom, London ZSL, 15th August 2010
Nice shot :cool: I suppose she will be giving birth before too much longer. I hope it all goes smoothly it must be a nervous time for the keepers at London.
 
She does not look very pregnant in this photo which was taken a month or so ago:confused: though in others I've seen her lying with legs stretched out etc which is often a position adopted by a pregnant gorilla.

I would expect her(hopefully)to have a straightforward birth and good maternal instinct like her halfsister 'Buu' at Chessington with Mbula- since they have had the same upbringing/good social experience. When Mjukuu was still quite little at Chessington, she would often carry her younger siblings around, always a good sign too.
 
this is a very pretty gorilla. im sure she will be a good healthy able to produce a luvely healthy offspring
