Neonatologists Care For Baby Gorilla


Neonatologists in San Francisco have been taking care of an unusual patient, a baby gorilla born at the San Francisco Zoo 10 weeks ago. The birth of the endangered western lowlands gorilla was a rarity - the San Francisco Chronicle says only about half a dozen are born in the U.S. each year. That’s why zookeepers brought in the team of human baby doctors. The zookeepers say while they’re very familiar with adult gorillas, the human baby doctors are much better equipped to deal with the newborn gorilla.
