The London Zoo has welcomed the birth of a critically endangered western lowland gorilla, with the mother, Mjukuu, giving birth after a 17-minute labor. The zookeepers are delighted, and the baby gorilla has been captured on CCTV. The birth is considered a landmark event due to the declining numbers of western lowland gorillas. The baby gorilla's name is yet to be decided.
