My Christmas miracle: Grieving gorilla mother who lost baby when he accidentally hanged himself cuddles newborn

Just months after her second child died in a freak accident, Kijivu the gorilla cuddles up to her newborn infant. 

At just two days old the tiny baby looks curiously around his new home at Prague Zoo yesterday, his 19-year-old mother takes a well-earned rest. 

The birth of any rare Western lowland gorilla in captivity is a cause for celebration but staff at the zoo are especially excited as the new arrival comes after one of the most tragic events in its history.
