ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Como Zoo in St. Paul has a new baby western lowland gorilla.

The female gorilla was born at about five pounds in the evening of Feb. 22 to first-time mother Dara.

Zoo officials say while bonding wasn’t an issue for the pair, officials did need to go in and give the baby fluids because nursing was a problem.

Soon after the pair reunited, the baby started nursing regularly but staff continues to monitor them.

The new baby is named Arlene after the late Arlene Scheunemann, a zoo volunteer and board member who helped establish the docent program.

The two gorillas will likely make their public debut later this month.

BAYFIELD, Wis. (AP) — The ice caves in northwestern Wisconsin are proving very popular again this year.

The caves on Lake Superior near the Apostle Islands attracted more than 11,000 people last weekend.

Julie Van Stappen, chief of planning and resource management for the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, says more than 7,000 people visited on opening day Saturday and 4,200 on Sunday.

Park service officials had warned visitors there is a lot of glare ice and had recommended people use crampons and use ski poles.

The ice caves drew more than 138,000 tourists last year as the deep freeze made the caves accessible to pedestrians for the first time in nearly five years.

The park system charged a $5 fee this year for visitors age 16 and older.
