[Our zoo has a new baby.](http://www.calgaryzoo.ca/images/Media.wmv) Well, not too new; she’s a little over a month old now. Just about as cute as you can stand, though.

I didn’t realize how cute gorilla babies were until I saw some pictures of the little one today (I’m not much of an ape person - I prefer the monkeys).
