Tiny baby gorilla born in Florida

Baby gorilla
A baby gorilla has been born at a wildlife park in Florida.

The primate's arrival caused a lot of drama at Busch Gardens zoological hospital on Friday.

After an examination of his mum Kishina, 33, vets were worried about the baby's welfare and was delivered by "a very rare" emergency caesarean.

The yet to be named 4lb 10oz ape is being cared for by Busch Gardens veterinary care staff until Kishina can be re-introduced to her son.
