In this photo taken March 26, 2014 at the Milwaukee County Zoo, Kassiu is held by her mother Naku in Milwaukee. The baby gorilla born less than a month ago has unexpectedly died, the zoo said Thursday, April 17, 2014. The western lowland gorilla, named Kassiu, was born March 19 to 13-year-old mother Naku and 27-year-old father Cassius. Zookeepers reported the baby and mother appeared normal Wednesday morning. But by the afternoon, Kassiu appeared weak and stopped holding onto her mother, as newborn gorillas do, the zoo said in a statement. (AP Photo/Milwaukee County Zoo, Scott Engel)
