This is just the News the world needs, to counter balance all the other horrible news ! I'm glad Jameela found a mom to love her and comfort her. Along with the other Gorillas too of course.
Updates are available on Larry's Animal Safari. My RUclips channel has followed the birth and lives of the other baby gorillas at the Cleveland Metropark Zoo for the past two years. Now that Jameela is here you can follow along during the introduction process. See Kayembe, Kunda and now Jameela. Videos released every week.
It says a lot of about the sorry state our species when the only feelgood news come from a 200 pound female gorilla who saw a baby, unrelated to her, wallowing around in pile of hay and immediately switched to mom-mode. These animals are simply too good for this world!
Good for you. Most likely the gorillas that have been rescued here would be dead due to their habitat being encroached on or due to poaching, deforestation etc. It would be ideal if zoos were not needed to preserve and breed threatened species. All Gorillas are classified as threatened species. Criticising the concept of zoos without offering any scaleable alternative solution is weak minded in my opinion. There are certainly zoos which don't meet the criteria for suitable habitat and those should be rightly condemned. In general however, a lot of the complaint against the idea of zoos in general is informed by a grab bag of romantic ideas about nature, are straight-out anthrophormising or projecting the individuals own feelings onto animals. It may well be the case, as suggested by the writer in the Life of Pi, that "zoos are subjectively neither better nor worse for an animal than its condition in the wild", and that an animal's territory is it's territory, whether in a human managed environment or some other environment. A person with only the vaguest idea about the natural world might romanticise an animal's existence i.e. omit the constant suffering from parasites, the almost guaranteed destiny of being eaten alive or dragging around twenty foot tape worms hanging out of their arse etc. They might incorrectly apply the idea of animals belonging only in "the natural" or the "untouched wilderness", which is true as far as it goes, but the natural/artificial or the touched/untouched dichotomies are not always the most accurate way of describing how one habitat differs from another. Nature doesn't constitute an unchanging, pure, static world but is in a constant state of change, via climate, transmigration of non-indigenous plants and pests etc, which is to say, what is "natural " is not as absolute an idea as might be implied. For the Gorillas in a zoo habitat, it is more than possible that for them, their habitat has become their nature, their kind of natural and they would wildly resent any attempt to "rescue" them from their adopted habitat and territory. They would rip you in half for trying and they don't care, I'm sure, about what you hate or don't hate.
Aw i cant blame big brother, he's just a baby himself 😂❤❤ bless Fredrika for adopting those precious babes 💗 💖 💕

He just wants to play 😂😂
Yay Good Job
Oh my god❤
So did I understand correctly? Did they separate the big brother from the mom so that he doesn’t hurt Jameela?
It's just precautionary. Fredrika has fostered babies before and there has never yet been an issue of danger with her other children.
What would be the reason for the birth mother to reject her newborn?
She had a emergency C-section. Sometimes with animals this means that they don't develope a natural maternal instinct.

This was so cruel....
How so?
Cruel was leaving her with the birth mom that rejected her. This is what what you call a happy ending to a story.
God I hate zoos.

In the wild they would be dead
