Premie Baby Gorilla Hand-reared To Full Recovery And Rejoins His Troupe

- The western lowland gorilla was born in late October 2021 and was the first gorilla born at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in its 139 year history.
The baby was premature at birth and developed pneumonia in November requiring zoo animal care and veterinary experts to step in and provide hands-on 24/7 care of the gorilla until he fully recovered.
After his recovery, zoo experts placed him back in a nest and surrogate mother “Freddy” picked him up and took him back into her care.
Nicknamed “Baby G,” Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Cleveland-based CrossCountry Mortgage will reveal a public naming opportunity of the baby gorilla in the coming weeks.
1:16 the other member is interested but you see how the surrogate momma grasps her baby even closer instinctively. This is just amazingly beautiful and baby is precious beyond words!
I saw that too. The Momma even walked away with Baby G. This is just so beautiful.
Va e fla?
Yes. It's her baby 😉
So happy to see little Baby G with Miss Freddy!!! It's amazing to see this Gigantic Silverback gently trying to play with this tiny infant, so special to see!❤️🦍💘
I just saw this today! He is so beautiful with his sorta Mohawk! Who wouldn’t want to be mama to this precious boy! So excited for him and the zoo!
I'm so happy and relieved that Freddy took him back. There's always the risk that an animal mother will reject the baby if it's been under the care of humans for a length of time. Looks like all is well! Gorgeous little baby!
Awe he’s so cute! I hope Baby G and his surrogate moma will have a strong bond and continue to. The whole group looks healthy and beautiful. Thank you for giving them the care they deserve.
I'm counting thy the troop will eventually kill it
Does the surrogate mother have breast milk for the baby or has she not had any babies? Great job to the staff for providing this infant with the proper medical care and love.
I was wondering how the baby was fed too!
I have tried finding this out as well. I’m a bit confused how Freddie is able to feed him🤷🏽♀️💔
The man said they are providing feedings for Baby G. I don't think Freddy could have milk and they don't show her feeding him which I'm sure they would have if she was.
I went to zoo in November and saw baby G. OMG is he ever soooo adorable!!! Freddie is fantastic!!!! I’m gonna go again soon! ♥️🦍♥️
You're so lucky! Get some video! lol
What happened to his birth mom? Did she pass away??
@@NanaD-ve9tt I was wondering the same thing.
@@dianecrumbley90 Hi. I found out his mom rejected her idk why? So Freddie just became attached to her and decided she wanted the baby . The baby had got pneumonia so they had to get her health better and now she’s reunifying with Freddie who accepted the baby as it’s own.. I asked if in the wild would the surrogate mom start to have milk if baby was suckling on her? Or would she have died? No one has answered me as of yet. So many people say don’t try to humanize then or compare them to humans but I do see so many human qualities and behaviors that are very much the same as us. The only thing is I think they lack empath or remorse but they still do have a lot of put qualities. 🤗
@@NanaD-ve9tt no she didn’t pass away. She gave birth and just wasn’t ready to be a mommy. So Freddie took over but baby gets bottle fed. They trained them really good. They gotta good system it works!!!
God bless the 👶baby♥♥
God bless the keepers caretakers caregivers staff and authorities
God bless FREDDY
Stay blessed.
Who is the baby's real mother? Why was he taken from her? And if this is the first baby you've had, how will Freddy breastfeed the baby?
Edit: "The western lowland gorilla was born the morning of Oct. 26, 2021, to mom, Nneka (23), and dad, Mokolo (34). When Nneka did not show appropriate maternal care, the troop’s eldest female, Fredrika or “Freddy” (47), who herself has raised four infants, instinctively took over maternal care of the newborn."
Is that mom still around?
@@lornamcelreath5312Yes she is
So awesome he was reintroduced to the family and is healthy. Freddie is so amazing and the baby is in great hands with her. Can't wait to watch him grow.
He is so beautiful my heart melts when i look at him . I wish i could help take care of him. Gorillas are my favorite animals. I think Kong is a good name . The mighty one. Moe
hes a stunning little man ,i hope he has a great life
Yes, has been adopted but he is still a baby, who is going to breast feed him ?
130 years oh wow!! So glad to see baby g is ok.
Beautiful baby! ❤️
Beautiful baby!
What a Little Sweetheart he is So Tiny,Just Adorable.
I'm kind of partial to baby G, he was born just hours before my bday😁
Awwwww…the baby is adorable! I wanna cuddle and kiss him up…I’m so glad Freddie is taking care of her new Baby G.
🦍
Ma che bello vedere la delicatezza di un gorilla verso il suo bimbo così piccolo certe persone avrebbero molto da imparare cosa significa amare ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a wonderful family accepting the baby! You all have a great and fun adventure ahead of you! May you be blessed to raise such a beautiful baby! We will all be watching this little guy grow big and strong, thanks to your great care! Grateful for all God's creatures! Thank you for sharing your story!
I am staying tuned. Can't wait!
Oh so dang cute! Hairy little man!
No es un ser humano, no es un hombrecito, eso es un animal salvaje y su sitio está en la selva trepando árboles buscandose la comida
Such a sweet little creature so cute
Adorable♥️♥️♥️
Thanks dear mom .
Amazing. Thank you.
🦍
Oh what wonderful news. I hope he continues to develop beautifully. How awesome for the gorilla family, as well as we the people.
Absolutely precious!!! Thank you for sharing 👍❤️🙏
Must a baby gorilla have the strength to cling onto mom without assistance or does the mom take special care to make sure baby doesn’t fall? Seems like gibbon babies need to cling on for dear life.
Was für ein glücklicher Moment! Freddy, die gute Seele, hat einen Sohn. ❤🥰🤗
He is Beautiful my goodness.👍👣🍼👣🍼👣
Prayers for that little one.Man beautiful ❤️🥰
Beautiful
Loved this video. Thanks for keeping us updated.
So precious
Ist das niedlich wie Freddy den kleinen Kayembe sofort adoptiert! 🥰🥰🥰❤ Auch Mokolo kommt den neuen Familienzuwachs begrüßen. Ist das schön! Alle haben ihn lieb, den süßen Kayembe! ❤❤❤
That fuzzy face, his little spiked haircut...lol. And that face! So goofy 🤪 looking yet so cute!
👶
The baby is so adorable 😍
I love seeing these type of videos, I have subscribed to see updates❤️❤️❤️❤️🐒🐒🐒🐒
What a wonderful troop of gorillas. All members clamoring to see the baby. My question is how in the world do the keepers get the baby to feed him. I just can’t see surrogate mom Franky just handing baby g over to a human.
They're very intelligent animals. She knows she can't feed the baby and that he has to drink milk to survive. I too would like to see how the do it though.
What happened to his natural mom? Anybody KNow?
Please show baby G eating. Is he nursing? Bottle fed? Does his surrogate mom have milk?
I love him already. I can't wait to come to Cleveland and see him and the other babies at the zoo.
Considering they are actually African animals you are more privileged than I am, a South African. To be so close to see them. But they are bush meat in Africa, so they are safer where they are. Take care.
God bless you guys
* Name him Gabriel🦍* My sister had her baby boy Gabriel and we all call him baby G!🥰

Wonderful
Sooooooooo cute baby gorilla! Love it.
What happened to the real biological mother ?
He's a little cutie 💓
🦍
How do they manage to feed the cute baby?
On other gorilla video's....they would teach the baby to feed on a bottle through the cage bars. However, they were old enough to crawl to the bars where the keepers held the bottles. With this tiny infant here.....not sure how they work this out.
Thanks for the hard work brother
how is this the first baby there? Did they just get gorillas recently?
Garila baby is so fine to looked!. I wishes mam n baby bright future.loot of 💖💖💖💖😄😄😄😄

Who feeds the baby?
Well, at least she didn't wipe her ass with the baby... I have seen them do that.
I think that has to do with mother/babies "scent".
Name him Future!! Its perfect. With all that is going on right now , maybe we can create an incredible future of our own!!
His skin so black, really beautiful.
Such cute baby
🦍😍
Aww so cute 🥰
