Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Welcomes Critically Endangered Gorilla Baby [Video]

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium has expanded its animal family by one!

The Ohio-based attraction welcomed a baby western lowland gorilla during the early morning hours of Saturday, June 29, the zoo said in a press release obtained by PEOPLE.

Born to first-time mother Sue and father Ktembe, the unnamed newborn’s sex will be determined at a later date.

Currently, the indoor viewing habitat at the zoo’s Congo Expedition region will remain closed for some time “to provide the gorillas with some more privacy,” per the zoo. However, guests will be able to view the establishment’s other gorillas in the outdoor habitat. 

On Monday, July 8, visitors will be able to view the gorilla family and their new addition during zoo hours.
