NEW pictures released by London Zoo show first-time mother Mjukuu 

enjoying spring sunshine with her baby son, who was born at the Regent’s Park attraction in October. The youngster enjoyed the warmth with his 12-year-old mum and the zoo’s other gorillas, Zaire, 36, and Effie, 17. The Zoological Society of London runs projects to conserve western lowland gorillas in Gabon and mountain gorillas and eastern lowland gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
