One of the youngest members of the Fort Worth Zoo is now squirming around and standing — with some help.

Bruno, a baby Western Lowlands gorilla, is reaching out and can now stand with help from his mom, Gracie.

In a video taken by their zookeeper, Bruno is seen propping himself against Gracie to lift himself up. Fort Worth Zoo officials said in a post that the baby gorilla will also crawl on his mom while she’s taking a nap.

Bruno was born on Nov. 6 and is the second Western Lowland gorilla born in the history of the Fort Worth Zoo, NBCDFW previously reported.

Guests can visit Bruno and his family at the zoo between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Parking is $5 and admission $18 for ages 13 and older, $14 for seniors and children ages 3-12 and free for ages 2 and younger.
