Jameela was born at the Fort Worth Zoo, but her mother rejected her.

CLEVELAND — Cleveland Metroparks Zoo officials are optimistic about the surrogacy journey of Jameela, the baby gorilla prematurely-born at the Fort Worth Zoo.

After Sekani showed disinterest, the zoo then turned to surrogacy training with a 24-year-old female gorilla named Gracie, but, the"surrogacy training with her has slowed and unfortunately, the progress we were needing to see has not been observed." "We did do an introduction between and our identified foster mom, Fredrika. Freddy picked Jameela up within a couple of seconds of being given access to her," Dr. Elena Less of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo said."That is exactly what we were hoping to see."
