Gorilla, just 4 months old, delights zoo visitors with funny faces: 'Very happy'

A baby gorilla has been spotted making funny faces at visitors of the Prague Zoo. Mobi, 4 months old, seems to have an outgoing personality that's already on display.

A baby gorilla's adorable face can light up the world.

At the Prague Zoo recently in the Czech Republic, a baby gorilla was seen having some fun while visitors noticed she was making funny faces at them. 

Through the glass at the gorilla exhibit, visitor Lucie Stephnickova said she saw a baby animal making faces, as SWNS reported.

Stephnickova, 37, said the baby gorilla named Mobi made "all the onlookers laugh."

"I believe that this situation will be repeated more often, and I am very much looking forward to it — I believe Mobi does, too," she said. 

In a video from SWNS, the four-month-old gorilla can be seen pushing her face on the glass window and making funny faces. 

Stephnickova said that Mobi spends most of her time with her mom, but that the mom still lets her have some fun with visitors.

"Mobi is only four months old, and her mom Duni doesn’t let her walk yet and keeps her close to her," she told SWNS. 

She added, "But she still let her make faces at me through the glass [and] Mobi was clearly very happy about this."

Duni is a first-time mother who gave birth to Mobi in January, according to the Prague Zoo.

While it’s typical for gorilla mothers to lend their babies to others to look after them after birth, Duni has not done so yet.

The zoo noted that keepers have noticed Mobi’s sixth milk tooth recently — and that she is eating solids and trying to stand on her feet. 

Additionally, Mobi is attempting to grab onto branches and ropes and is "showing all the abilities that a healthy gorilla cub of her age should."

Her name, Mobi, was also chosen by Cameroonian schoolchildren, with a final vote from the Czech public, per the Prague Zoo. 

Mobi will also be "baptized" on May 11 at the zoo. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the Prague Zoo for additional comment.
