Baby gorilla ‘Jameela’ on a journey to find a surrogate mum | BBC News

Baby gorilla ‘Jameela’ was born prematurely via C-section at the Fort Worth Zoo.

Despite efforts to reunite the newborn primate with her birth mother, Jameela faced multiple rejections.

Jameela was born a month before her due date, and the mother didn’t show enough "maternal instinct."

She has now embarked on a hopeful journey to the Cleveland Zoo, where new opportunities for maternal care await among gorillas who, in the past, have shown interest in infants not their own.
