Almost two full days after giving birth via emergency Caesarean section, a mother chimpanzee has had an emotional reunion with her baby.
Mahale, a female chimpanzee living at Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, gave birth to a baby boy on Nov. 15. Mahale needed an emergency C-section after her natural labor stopped progressing, the zoo shared on Facebook, adding: “Baby wasn’t breathing well on his own, so he stayed in the hospital with the medical team until he could be reunited with mom.”
