Chimp caretaking experts at Oklahoma City Zoo discovered a mother chimpanzee was not caring for her newborn the way she should. They put their heads together and decided to remove the baby chimp from her biological mother. The baby was introduced to a new chimp family further east, at the third-oldest zoo in the United States.
