There's high hope that a gorilla named Fredrika or"Freddy" will become her foster mom.
"Freddy is the one who stepped in right away within minutes of us, presenting Kayembe to her. She picked him up and was his foster. And so, he is now, almost two and a half. So, he's pretty independent. And what's really nice is he's been spending more time with his birth mom and, still, Freddy is absolutely his mom," said Elena Less, the zoo's animal curator.Not only has Freddy proven she can be a foster mom to Kayembe. She's had seven kids of her own.
Less praised the Fort Worth Zoo for its care of Jameela following her historic birth. Jameela was delivered via emergency Cesarean section on January 5th after her mother Sekani developed preeclampsia.
"Our heart goes out to the Fort Worth Zoo staff and what they're dealing with," Less said."We had done this with Kayembe back in 2021. And we had Freddie here who stepped up as his foster mom but if she hadn't, we would be in the same position and sending Kayembe to another zoo. So, it's taxing, It's so hard that the staff at the zoo are, are so invested. They do such excellent work and you get very emotionally attached.
