Endangered baby gorilla dies six days after birth at Audubon Zoo
Just days after celebrating the birth of a critically-endangered baby gorilla, the Audubon Zoo is now mourning its death.
The Audubon Zoo said the six-day-old infant gorilla died Wednesday after staff noticed it seemed lethargic and weak in the arms of its mother, Tumani. The infant gorilla was taken to the zoo’s animal hospital but the veterinarian team was unable to revive it.

We could clearly see the mother not feeding the baby..
Looks like she was squeezing it too tightly.
TUMANI SHOWED DEEP AFFECTION FOR HER BABY AND THIS TOO WAS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE BABY ALIVE AND WELL, THEN RETURN TO TUMANI. SHE WOULD HAVE
Makes me so sad but if they noticed she wasn't moving much..why didn't they remove ber and feed her? 1st baby in 24 years ud think they would have stepped in to help
Unacceptable for a baby gorilla to die in an American zoo. The problem with zoos is transparency and accountability and a constant bottomless need for funding - money that most cities don't have. As a result, bad news, mistakes, problems, needed improvements don't get reported because it hurts their bottom line and the reason these things happen in the first place is due to a lack of funding so these problems become cylical. By the end of the day, the public has no idea what's going on at our local zoos across the country. The newest controversy is that we are finding that more and more zoos are regularly giving the animals psychotropic drugs to make them easier to care for, meaning less staff are needed. Better to keep an animal zonked out so that one young, minimum wage worker can be there instead of 2 or 3 professionals, right? We just need to end this out dated concept of a "zoo."
Thats horrible. Just looking at this video hearing baby crying and crying and looking weak, its noticeable something wrong with baby ( the baby sounds hungry, hungry, hungry).
Poor baby! Love and strength to those grieving
