Baby Gorilla
We don’t know what it is about chimps, monkeys, and gorillas — we just seriously can’t get enough, especially after laying eyes on this bundle of cuteness! She’s so tiny that we might cry! Did you know that, when born, an infant gorilla is actually smaller than a human infant? And who knew?! Weighing in at just under five pounds, this cutie was born to 22-year-old Kumbuka at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens in Florida on September 28, 2018.
Baby Okapi
We had no idea before today that this type of animal even existed, but we are glad it does. A baby okapi (calf), also known as the forest giraffe, is pictured here. Native to the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa, it is an even-toed mammal. Surprisingly, the animal is most closely related to the giraffe, although the okapi has striped markings reminiscent of zebras. We have concluded, anyway, that okapis are pretty freaking adorable.
