The chimpanzee mother embraces her newborn baby boy in this heartwarming video.
A video of a chimpanzee mother reuniting with her newborn baby will surely warm your heart. The heartwarming clip was posted by the Sedgwick County Zoo on social media. The newborn baby boy was born via a C-section on Tuesday.
The chimp was not breathing well on his own after the birth, so the hospital staff decided to keep it for two days. In the video, the mother, whose name is Mahale embrace her son after she saw her baby after two days of separation. The baby chimp was named Kucheza, which means 'play' in Swahili.
Along with the video, the caption read, "After almost 2 full days, Mahale and baby were reunited this morning! Mahale gave birth via C-section after her labour had stopped progressing. The baby wasn't getting enough oxygen on his own at birth so he had to stay in the hospital to receive treatment and care from the medical team until he was healthy enough to return to mom."
