New baby gorilla at Tshiaberimu
Category: Gorillas, Tshiaberimu | Date: Feb 02 2009 | By: tshiaberimu
Hello this is Jean Claude again. Despite the terrible time that we have had at Tshiaberimu, leading to the death of the chief of monitoring on 8 January, I am very happy to announce the birth of a baby gorilla to the Mutsunga family!
I have received reports from the rangers that the female, Mwengesyali, gave birth to the infant on 31 January at Mahinga, near the patrol post of Kikyo.
Mwengesyali is the mother of Mukokya and Musanganya (who tragically lost his life after falling out a tree last year), and at the moment lives in a group led by the silverback Kanindo.
This afternoon I will be trekking in to the forest myself to see the new baby and hope to bring more news to you tomorrow!

Great news, Jean Claude. Very good to hear from you. Christine C. and I recently learned how to properly pronounce “Tshiaberimu,” thanks to Dr. Lucy.
Can’t wait for pictures of the new baby.
