BROWNSVILLE, Texas (WPVI) -- A gender reveal event was held at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas for a newborn baby gorilla.

The baby western lowland gorilla weighed in at 2.22 kilograms. He was born to 26-year-old Mbundi and 11-year-old Margaret on May 5.

The "cinco de mayo baby," was honored with a piñata where paper stuffing was pulled to reveal the gender of the zoo's new arrival.

It's a boy!

Congratulations to the Gladys Porter Zoo!
