TL;DR Summary

A baby gorilla named Jameela was delivered via emergency C-section at Fort Worth Zoo due to her mother's preeclampsia, weighing just 3 pounds and 1 ounce. Despite her mother's recovery, Jameela's mother showed no interest in caring for her, leading zookeepers to seek a surrogate in another gorilla named Gracie. The zoo's team is providing round-the-clock care for Jameela, who is now growing and thriving, with hopes that Gracie will serve as a surrogate for the baby gorilla.
