“Historic” birth in the zoo: baby gorilla is born by caesarean section. In the Fort Worth Zoo's 115-year history, there have only been two births of baby gorillas.
Mother Sekani has so far shown no interest in the gorilla's premature baby Jameela. Staff are optimistic that preemie Gracie will be a good surrogate mother for the baby gorilla. The zoo was supported by doctors who specialize in humans, as primates differ little biologically from humans.
