Binti Jua (born March 17, 1988) is a female western lowland gorilla resident at the Brookfield Zoo, in Brookfield, Illinois, outside Chicago, United States. She received media attention after a situation in 1996 in which she tended to a three-year-old boy who had been injured by falling into her enclosure. Binti Jua (whose name means "Daughter of Sunshine" in Swahili) is the niece of Koko, a gorilla whose linguistic accomplishments have been the subject of several scientific studies. Her mother, Lulu, was originally from the Bronx Zoo and died on January 24, 2011, after residing at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Her father is Sunshine, from the San Francisco Zoo.
