‘Miracle’ Gorilla Baby Surprises Zookeepers In Prague

A gorilla who always wanted to be a mom finally had her wish come true recently… much to the surprise of her caretakers!

The unexpected arrival of a newborn baby gorilla at the Prague Zoo has zookeepers and goers alike very excited. After many years of wanting a little one, but multiple miscarriages, Shinda the gorilla finally has a child of her own.

Just like humans, Shinda was heartbroken to watch the other gorillas and their babies after suffering the miscarriages, so zookeepers were led to believe she was unable to have children. When Shinda recently put on some weight in her stomach region, zookeepers assumed the gorilla’s belly was swollen from her healthy appetite, not because of a baby bump.

“I cannot imagine what could have surprised me more. Not only did we fail to notice Shinda’s pregnancy but we also gave up all hope that she could have a baby some time ago,” zoo director Miroslav Bobek said.

Shinda, who first arrived at the world famous Czech Republic zoo in 2003, could be seen cradling her tiny newborn over the weekend. The 24-year-old was a natural with her surprise baby, who zookeeper David Vala believes will give her more dominance amongst the other gorillas.
