Baby gorilla takes its first steps

Remember the tiny baby gorilla born at London Zoo last October? Well, he's back and this time zookeepers were on hand with a video camera when Tiny - as he's now called - took his first steps this week (see video, above).

The infant has been clinging to his mother since his birth, so it's no surprise she gave him an encouraging shove in the right direction when he tried to return for a cuddle. The keepers are now trying to come up with a permanent name, as he is fast outgrowing his nickname.
