CHICAGO (NBC/WMAQ) - For the second time in as many months, a baby gorilla has been born at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.

In the video with this story, you see the baby girl western lowland gorilla being held by her mother, 16-year-old Rollie.

The baby gorilla is said to be doing well and in good health.

The zoo officially announced the birth Tuesday, and the zoo's primate curator said having a second baby gorilla around will be good for social development.

The last time the zoo had two baby gorillas there at the same time was in 2004.
