Human surrogates rear up endangered baby gorilla

Zookeepers wearing gorilla suits have helped rear an endangered abandoned baby gorilla in Ohio so she can join an adult group. The 16 human surrogates have spent 3 months feeding, nurturing and gently introducing the baby, Kamina, to adult female gorillas, Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, said on Saturday. Kamina, a Western lowland gorilla, came to Cincinnati for ‘gorillafication’ after her mother Ndjole, stopped caring for her shortly after she was born in August in Oklahama City Zoo. And now, at 4 months old, she is ready to be moved to Columbus Zoo where 14 surrogate gorilla infants have been successfully introduced to adult female gorillas, according to Reuters.
