Six-month-old Hasani has already proven he's a survivor.
Abandoned by his mom shortly after birth, the gorilla was been cared for by zookeepers, who filled in with feedings, cleanings, and cuddles.
They recently found a surrogate mom, Bawang—a pro who's brought up three kids of her own and survived some hard knocks. (She, too, was raised by humans.) The two hit it off when they met in late April: Bawang snuggled with her new boy and lifted him over her head, winning a smile.

Baby Masai giraffe Miles soon got impatient with his daily diet of four bottles of goat's milk mixed with water.
He wants to be just like his big sister Neema, and that means reaching for solid foods like grain and bamboo leaves when he gets the munchies.
Of course, Miles is learning to avoid her, too, when Neema tries to style his mane and ossicones—ugh!

Spunky cub Xi Lan is the younger brother of Mei Lan, who will be 3 in September.
There isn't much sibling rivalry so far. In fact, the two barely spend time together as giant pandas are solitary by nature.
Zookeepers do note that Xi Lan is the more adventurous one; he loves to clamber right to the top of his climbing structures. He's expected to reach 255 pounds by adulthood.

It's easy to stir up trouble with siblings in tow, as precocious Sumatran tiger cub Damai was quick to figure out.
She's been known to try sneaking up on mom with her partners in crime, brothers Kucing and the shy Harimau Kayu.
The three wrestle together and enjoy ripping stuff apart and chewing on things like hay inside a paper bag.

Presley's elongated ears are startling enough, but her unusually long neck proves most useful and distinctive.
Gerenuks (Somali for \"giraffe-necked\") are African antelopes that rely on their necks to graze on trees and tall bushes instead of grass. Presley doesn't even need to drink; she gets all the water she needs from such plants.

Like many kids, African penguin chick Blue Blue was reluctant to test out the water. But once it took the plunge—its very first swim was on April 15—Blue Blue was a natural and didn't want to stop spinning and flipping around.
Back on land, the chick often stands between its trainers' ankles, a sign of trust and affection. Stay tuned to find out Blue Blue's gender as it's too young for the necessary blood work.

Life got off to a precarious start for Samudra, whom friends call Sam. His mom, Rose-Tu, got confused and almost trampled the baby at birth.
Staff speculate that Rose-Tu was startled because she'd never seen a birth before—she was the zoo's youngest elephant until Sam came along.
Sam now fits in just fine and will soon meet Tusko, his 13,500-pound dad.

For the first several weeks, all you could see of this newbie was a little paw, a tail, and an adorable round head, all sticking out of mom Vera's thick copper-colored coat.
Collared lemurs spend most of their time in trees, using their bushy tails to leap from one treetop to the next.
You won't be able to see the lemurs until later this summer, but you can learn more about them in the meantime at the Bronx Zoo's Lemur Life site, which profiles Vera and dad Jean-Luc, who \"appreciates a fine piece of fruit.\"

Indian rhinoceros calf Ramir, whose name means \"interesting\" in Hindi, put on 200 pounds in his first six weeks—that's what happens when you slurp more than a gallon of milk five timesa day.
All that milk has Ramir revved up. He runs laps with the keepers, climbs on hay bales, and plays with balls.

Banyan, a fuzzy reddish tree kangaroo joey, only began venturing around his home in JungleWorld this winter.
He often climbs gingerly on branches and then retreats to his mom Arboroo's pouch for a nap.
Lately, he also tests out new foods like the green vegetables his mom enjoys.
