Baby gorilla reaches milestone at park and puts on adorable show

Surviving has turned to thriving as gorgeous gorilla Kaius turns two, overcoming his sad start thanks to his devoted keeper and the eventual acceptance of his gorilla family in an Australian first.

“He should have died, multiple times, but each time he pulled through,” Mogo Wildlife Park zookeeper Chad Staples told the Sunday Telegraph.

“I took on the role of hand-raising him, and for seven months we were attached at the hip.

Despite the odds, little Kaius thrived.
