Kimani

Kimani is a six year old Western Lowland Gorilla at the Franklin Park Zoo. Up until a month ago, she was the youngest in the FPZ troop, but the November 3rd birth of a brand new baby - a full sibling - now makes her the "middle child" (Kimani's 11 year old sister, Kira, was also born at the FPZ, and shares the same mom, Kiki, and pop, Kitombe). Stay tuned for posts on the captivating new wee ape...
