In a remarkable event, a healthy baby gorilla was born via a rare emergency C-section conducted by a specialized obstetrical team at Woodland Park Zoo. This marks the first-ever C-section performed on a gorilla at the zoo, with experts from the Swedish Medical Center assisting in the procedure. The newborn, a male, is the first of two gorilla babies expected this spring.
