CHICAGO — After two weeks of careful deliberation, Lincoln Park Zoo has named its newest baby gorilla Bella.

Bella, an endangered western lowland gorilla born Feb. 24, was named in honor of a member of the Regenstein family, which has donated millions to Lincoln Park Zoo.

Bella and the rest of her family can be seen daily at the Regenstein Center for African Apes from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
