Baby Abeo is finally in the arms of his forever gorilla mom.
Driving the news: The zoo announced that Abeo, which means "bringer of happiness," was successfully introduced to 40-year-old foster mom Kweli and his eight-year-old foster sister Kindi this week.
Catch up quick: Born June 28 at Woodland Park Zoo, he was transferred to Louisville Zoo in Kentucky after he was rejected by his birth mother, Akenji.
The bottom line: He has been in Kweli's arms almost continuously since then, said Louisville Zoo's general curator Ron Evans in a must-watch video update.
