Baby Gorilla
Why are we so naturally drawn to chimpanzees, monkeys, and gorillas? We are simply fascinated with our distant cousins, especially their magnificently cutesy babies! This little baby gorilla is tinier than our babies’ heads, which is incredible considering how large and powerful they become in adulthood. This baby was born in the Jackson Zoo and Gardens on September 28, 2018, to a proud mother named Kumbuka. The bottom picture of this baby gorilla falling asleep melted our hearts!

Baby Okapi
We have to admit that we were completely aware of this animal’s existence until we began our research. Regardless, we cannot express our gratitude for having learned more about this wonderous being also known as a forest giraffe. The okapi is located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in its northeast regions. It is even-toed and has zebra-like stripes and markings, which makes its relation to the giraffe all the more surprising. We would love to meet an okapi in person, but until then, this incredible picture will have to do.
