Dublin Zoo have finally revealed the sex of the baby gorilla born at the Phoenix Park site last month - and it's a girl.
The gorgeous little ape was born to parents born to first-time mother Kafi and father Bangui on April 1.
Keepers had initially been unable to identify the sex of the baby as mum Kafi was keeping her close to her chest from the time she was born.
