A baby gorilla born at the Fort Worth Zoo is said to be doing well after making the move to Cleveland.Jameela, a western lowland gorilla, was born via c-section due to life-threatening complications with her mother's pregnancy.After she was born, Jameela was rejected by her mother, Sekani, due to the circumstances around the birth.When efforts to find Jameela a surrogate mother in Fort Worth also failed, the baby gorilla was moved to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
He’s the older toddler brother, so that’s to be expected. So we are moving slowly and making sure that Fredrika has time to bond with Jameela and that we can work on Kayembe on reinforcing positive, calm behaviors around Jameela as well," Less said.As part of the process, Jameela is getting all of her bottles next to Fredrika with Kayembe looking on."They’re still maintaining that contact with her every time we feed her. We’re working on her strength. She’s doing tummy time.
