A baby gorilla was spotted being a really cheeky monkey at a zoo - by sticking her tongue out at the camera. The five-month-old, named Gandai, was seen playing with the camera at the US zoo where she happily smiled for photographs - before pulling the silly pose. The adorable western lowland gorilla was introduced to her surrogate mother Bulera at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens in Florida, where she was videoed taking her first steps towards her. Here surrogacy was "Plan B" for the gorilla care team - who had hoped Gandai's biological mother Kumbuka would be willing to care for the infant. But Kumbuka rejected Gandai who was then immediately paired with 30-year-old surrogate Bulera.
