There are plenty of new attractions at the Fort Worth Zoo. A baby elephant. Even two new little giraffes.Visitors are impressed by the close bond between Bruno and his mom, Gracie, who literally won't let go of him.

“I’ve never seen a baby ,” said 11-year-old Eziquiel Vernis. “They're so cute and it's wonderful how they treat them like they're almost humans, wrapping them, even the way they're holding them. They're just so cute."Zookeeper Angie Holmes is in charge of the gorilla exhibit. "I love seeing the guests light up when they see any of the animals but especially Bruno,” Holmes said."Gracie is a wonderful mother. She's taken care of him from the get-go. She holds him, she feeds him, she cleans him. The other animals can come up to him but right now she's not letting anyone else hold him or touch him."Local
