Baby gorilla admitted to hospital

A six-week-old baby gorilla is being treated in a German paediatric intensive care unit after being rejected by its mother.

Mary Zwo was admitted to Muenster University Hospital after staff at the local zoo found her dehydrated, with low blood sugar levels and on the verge of hypothermia.



Her mother Gana, who appeared to care for her baby very well at first, had started neglecting Mary Zwo after she was separated from other gorillas at the zoo.
