  LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 11: A three-week-old baby girl gorilla, as yet unnamed, clings to her mother N’djia at the L.A. Zoo on February 11, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. N’djia, aged 25, will carry her baby against her chest for several months, while nursing and taking in her surroundings, until the baby is able to cling to her mother’s back. Father Kelly, 32, usually stays nearby. She is the first baby gorilla born at the L.A. Zoo in twenty years and is part of a species survival program. Western lowland gorillas are considered critically endangered in the wild due to illegal hunting for bushmeat, dwindling habitat and disease. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
