Belfast Zoo are celebrating the arrival of the first Western lowland gorilla to be born at the zoo in 16 years.
The little one needs a name and you can help by voting on the zoo’s Facebook page.
Your choice is from the following:
Geoffrey
Baako (which means ‘first born child’)
Kwame (which means ‘Saturday’s child’)
Mango
Goliath (gorillas are the largest primate)
Babatunde (which means ‘return of the father’)
