That is a beautiful baby. He or she is thriving and will do well with other gorillas to help with socialization.
Western Lowland Gorillas are endangered and struggling in the wild. Having a healthy population  under human care is a way to ensure species survival if things get worse. For now the baby is joy to look at and she will make the troop very happy.
