Our youngest gorilla, Willie B. III, is growing quickly, which also means he’s learning new things every day! Just like toddlers at home, he can’t seem to keep things out of his mouth, as seen here in the gorillas’ behind-the-scenes indoor night area. For the most part this is great; it means he’s trying new food items and testing out all those new teeth! He often sees everyone else in his group enjoying browse, especially his Mom, so he likes to test things out every chance he gets, even if he

Willie B. III has started to get more involved in troop activities on habitat and can regularly be seen running around during their midday fruit and veggie scatter! Keepers toss part of the troop's diet to them around lunchtime to provide an extra foraging opportunity for enrichment. In this video, you can see the little guy going after some of his favorite snacks just like the adults are! While we see him pick up vegetables, he definitely prefers to run after a grape or a piece of chopped apple

Willie B. III is getting incredibly adventurous and confident! He has only made his way into the tree a few times, but he seems to be getting the hang of it. He climbed up all by himself and did some people watching for a few minutes before he decided to climb back down. The next time you visit, if you can’t find Willie B. III right away, be sure to check the tree … he just might be on an adventure! #SilverbackStory – Sherri K., Gorilla Care Team #OnlyZooATL (video: Sherri K.) | Zoo Atlanta

Willie B. III’s birthday is quickly approaching, and he has grown oh so much in these past almost two years. When gorillas are born they typically weigh between 3 and 5 pounds. Since birth, Willie B. III has gained an impressive 25 pounds. However, with his dad, Willie B Jr., weighing in at about 390 pounds, I’d say Willie B. III still has a lot of growing to do. #SilverbackStory, Celyn F., Gorilla Care Team (video: Celyn F.) | Zoo Atlanta

Weekend vibes with Willie B. III! Did you know the white spot on his backside (shown at the end of the clip) helps mom Shalia keep track of the baby, as well as signifies to the other troop members that he is an infant/adolescent and to be patient with him? #OnlyZooATL | Zoo Atlanta

Here at Zoo Atlanta, the gorillas are lucky enough to have an ample supply of browse offered to them daily throughout the year. Willie B. III has finally started to learn which parts of the browse taste the best, but he also still enjoys playing with small branches if it isn’t really worth eating. #SilverbackStory – Cassie M., Gorilla Care Team #OnlyZooATL (video: Cassie M.) | Zoo Atlanta

Look at Willie B. III hanging out with his Auntie Kambera! Lately, Willie B. III has been observed riding on Kambera's back indoors occasionally while mom Shalia observes. It is great to see to see him being social with all of his troop members! #SilverbackStory – Sherri K., Gorilla Care Team #OnlyZooATL (video: Kaitlyn K.) | Zoo Atlanta

We're checking in with our youngest future silverback, Willie B. III! Here at Zoo Atlanta, our gorillas are provided with different enrichment every day. Enrichment is one way we encourage our gorillas to engage in activities that elicit their natural behaviors. You may have noticed on your last visit to Zoo Atlanta the many devices in our gorilla habitats that are designed to increase the time the gorillas spend processing their food items. Willie B. III is a little young to be interested in mo
