Gladys the gorilla
Some zoo workers in Cincinnati are playing the role of this baby gorillas mother by wearing all black outfits, grunting affectionately, and imitating mother gorillas to help the baby adjust to a new home. When she gets older, they will take it a step further and wear hairy vests and carry the baby gorilla on their backs.
"Whatever a gorilla mom would do with her baby s what we have to do with this baby" says Ron Evans who is the zoo's primate team leader. Ron heads a team of 10 people who switch our every eight hours to provide 24 hour care.
