The Fort Worth Zoo is thrilled to welcome a new addition—a baby female gorilla, born via emergency cesarean on January 5, 2024. After facing life-threatening complications, the dedicated
team of experts, including human medical specialists, successfully delivered the infant, marking a historic moment. This is only the third gorilla birth in the Zoo’s 115-year history, and the very first to
involve a C-section, making it a remarkable milestone for both the mother and her precious newborn.
