Recently, ZooBorns reported on Tano the infant Gorilla’s move from Prague Zoo to Wilhelma in Stuttgart, Germany. Tano has successfully completed his quarantine period and beginning today, lucky visitors can view the tiny Gorilla between 11.30 and 12 Noon. Tano can also be seen during his feeding times, although there is no set time table for these.

For the past three weeks, Tano has been cared for around the clock by surrogate mothers nurses Bea Jarczewski, Margot Federer and Thali Bauer. For now, the most important things in this little Gorilla baby’s life are sleep, warmth, body contact, cuddling, vocalization, and of course, milk when he is hungry!

    I NEED HIM FOR MY VERY OWN. Oh my Lord. He is smiling! A smiling baby gorilla in a diaper? That is the sound of me keeling over from the cute.

    So jealous of his caretakers. Where did I go wrong in life? I should be raising tiny gorillas!
