WATCH: Baby Chimp At Maryland Zoo Sees Reflection For First Time

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The Maryland Zoo's newest chimpanzee reached a milestone Tuesday: she is now able to stare and focus on certain objects, including her own reflection.

The zoo posted a video on Instagram that showed Maisie playing with toys when she noticed a mirror and then something -- herself -- staring back at her.

In the post, the zoo said every milestone she reaches gets her one step closer to being introduced to a surrogate mother.

Maisie was born at a zoo in Oklahoma in August before moving to Baltimore in October.
