Jameela was successfully delivered via emergency cesarean about four to six weeks early. Her mother Sekani unfortunately showed little interest in her.
CLEVELAND — Jameela, the baby gorilla prematurely-born at the Fort Worth Zoo, has arrived at her new home.
The zoo transfer comes after Jameela's mother, Sekani, did not show interest in her after having an emergency C-section. Fort Worth Zoo officials said that, while it’s hard to determine the exact reason why the two never bonded, they suspect Sekani never experienced the necessary hormonal cues that come during a natural and full-term birth, which would've triggered a traditional mother-baby relationship.
