Well done to all at Belfast, long overdue, but extremely welcome.

Baby is now named Baako, meaning first born

Aw, that's lovely. I've never been to Belfast Zoo, might plan to head up at some point to see Baako.

I like the last photo particularly, as father Gugas is in it too. Previous photos I'd seen of him he was a bit strange-looking with a funny 'salt and pepper' appearance of his coat, but he seems to have matured into a very normal-looking male now.
