It was touching to read about her progress and I'm relieved to know that she has been accepted into her family and is thriving. Thanks for telling us about Gigi!

Gigi is finally able to get to know her entire family and be a part of the whole family group. Mimi has really stepped up as a big sis in being a surrogate mom to her little sis! For all of the gorilla fans out there, got some neat news for you! The National Zoo's gorilla keepers have decided to allow all of us to vote for a name for their newest baby female gorilla. Just get on the NZ's Great Apes page, then click on the vote link to get on the page that has the 3 names to vote for---Keyah, Kibibi, Kipenzi. The names have the meanings to them on the page. So, have fun! They will be announcing the gorilla's name around the middle of March. Well, gonna go for now!

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:57:47 +0000 http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wordpress/?p=3720#comment-430481 Hi Janet - Hooray for big sister Mimi - what a sweetheart. I am so happy that Mimi has taken her little sister Gigi "under her wing". I never would have guessed it. Gigi will begin to feel more confident now that Mimi will literally be showing her "the ropes". Before too long, Gigi will become a full-fledged member of the troop. Many thanks to you Janet and to Leticia for your love and care of these beautiful Guenons. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all four installments. I found them educational and very entertaining.
