Doctors performed an emergency C-section on a Texas gorilla showing signs of preeclampsia in the later stages of her pregnancy. The Fort Worth Zoo welcomed its third gorilla in 115 years.
The baby’s mother, a 33-year-old gorilla named Sekani, was pregnant with her fourth baby and was expected to deliver in mid-February, according to the zoo. "It was incredible how similar this mother-infant pair was compared to what I see in the hospital for babies born under similar circumstances." Brittany Kasko is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
Those plans changed on Jan. 3, however, when veterinarians realized Sekani was moving slower than normal and holding her head as if she had a headache.
