Lowland Gorillas in Europe 2020

Fantastic news from Apenheul; Gyasi is pregnant with the first infant sired by Bao Bao/Pau Pau. This was announced on the park’s website, along with the news that Gyasi’s first offspring, Tayari, is expecting an infant herself in Taipei.
I am thrilled that Bao Bao has had this important success after his introduction to the Apenheul females; will have everything crossed for a successful outcome.

@Pertinax has the sex of Kala's first surviving offspring been found out yet? With Bristol I suppose it doesn't really matter,as they have wrongly sexed a couple of baby Gorillas namely Namoki and Kukena. For those not familiar with Bristol Zoo these baby's were initially sexed as males but were later discovered to be female. Namoki is definitely a female as since moving to Belfast Zoo she has given birth to a baby called Olivia who was fatherd by Belfast's resident Silverback Gugus.

Bristol haven't announced it yet but I think its a male and others do too. Wrong sexing is a bad mistake as obviously for future planning you need to know the correct sex. Fortunately in Bristol's case it was male to female both times which is the beneficial way round.

In Taipei Zoo, female called "Tayari" gave birth in 31 October. And the baby is a boy. I saw the baby in that day and took a video.
