This is the adorable moment baby gorilla Bruno takes his first faltering steps - with the help of caring mom, Gracie.<br /><br />Three-month-old western lowland gorilla Bruno can be seen uncertainly standing up as Gracie holds his hand. <br /><br />Bruno wobbles a bit and leans on his mother for support before finally dropping back to the ground.<br /><br />He was born at Fort Worth Zoo in Texas, USA, in the early hours of Nov. 6, 2022, to Gracie and father Elmo. <br /><br />Bruno was estimated to weigh between four and five pounds at the time of his birth, which is normal for the species, the zoo said. <br /><br />He is the second gorilla to be born at the zoo, after his older brother Gus was born in 2015.<br /><br />A spokesperson said: “Are you seeing what we’re seeing? Baby Bruno is standing (with help from Mom).<br /><br />“You’ll notice him squirming around a lot more these days, reaching out or crawling on his mom when she’s trying to nap.”<br /><br />Gracie is keeping her baby close while he gets acclimated to the zoo’s World of Primates habitat and meets other troop members. <br /><br />Zookeepers say the pair is continuing to bond but are fully integrated into the troop.<br /><br />Bruno can be seen by visitors in both indoor and outdoor areas of the habitat, depending on weather and his activity level, the zoo said.
