Precious baby❤❤❤❤hoping mommy recovers quickly for baby
Omg, this baby chimp is so cute. 🥰
That little boo boo lip broke my heart. But what an adorable little angel. Hope everyone recovers well and fast so they can be together soon 💜🥰🐒
Sometimes I think the zoo staff just wants to take care of the baby. I don’t believe they give mom enough time to adjust. On the other hand I have seen a lot of primates moms not have that motherly instinct. I believe it has to do with being in captivity.
Your first statement is accurate. Stealing a baby from its mother guarantees years of video material and money from donations. These people are nothing but selfish, insensitive, incompetent and greedy idiots!
I agree. I mean, these animals made it out in the wild for eons without their help. 🤷♀️
@@DP-ih6nt Yes, I could not agree more...
Once she woke up from the anesthesia, in about a day, she should have been given her baby back. By keeping the baby away from her that long her milk will dry up.
@@emmas1082 And that is exactly what those cruel and selfish "zoo keepers" wanted...they wanted to create a situation where the mother and baby could never be reunited so that they could feed their disgusting egos and make lots of videos to personally enrich themselves.
The discovery of the monkey vests worn by carers while feeding, etc was pretty brilliant. The little monkeys/gorilla babies cling to these and when they go back to the troop, they're good to go... literally. Great leaps forward in exotic animal care in the last few decades. Props to zoos for raising species awareness, too, for these critically endangered animals.
Having a real mother, is even more brilliant
Awwww so precious love little babies.
Aww what a beautiful baby! Baby primates are so delicate, it's amazing that any of them survive in the wild. So many primates can die during childbirth just like women. So many complications and things can go wrong. Luckily these chimps have caring zoo and vet staff to help them if they need it.
IN MY VIEW
I hope the mom recovers soon and accepts her baby when she is healthy enough to take care of her.
Baby is Sooooooooo cute! I hope it recovers soon and be with mommy.
That baby is so precious just like you all the way y'all take care of your chimpanzees y'all are A1 praise the Lord. 🙏
Juste Magnifique, un bébé d'amour
God bless the staff
After the mother woke up, why did you not return the baby to her?
So when mom woke up why not give the baby back to her. I actually have taken classes on great apes and I’m just mind blowed.
I think baby was yanked out during birth ..I don’t believe the story of placenta not passing…why cover moms legs with blanket? Does mom even have milk that soon after birth? The story on news said mom acted aggressive….yeah trying to get her baby back from being dragged around like dead
Didn't you watch it at all?
@@mortalclown3812 apparently she didn't she's a self styled chimpanzee "expert"
Lol.... You've taken a couple of classes so you're an expert. Lol
She may have had an issue giving birth and had to have her uterus basically scraped out to pull out the placenta. So she would need a good long while to recover and chimps aren't exactly always nice to other chimps. She's lucky an experienced chimp took in the baby before the males would've grabbed up the baby and bashed it's head on the floor or the wall most likely.
Where is mom? Give baby back to mom!
Watch the video, genius. That's the plan, but they are doing what's necessary for the baby for the moment m
@@elliesouza717 @23 baby is stolen in a fight…mom was dead by looks!

@@elliesouza717 It wasn't a moment it was 6 long injurious months. That baby chimp will never recover. They have the cortisol levels of a combat veteran and suffer PTSD just like them. You must be slow.
She doesn’t dare let the other adults touch her baby will be a snack!
How much anesthesia was given to the mother chimp that she was considered not able to care for her young sadly too many infant births in zoos seem to be taken over by humans another reason I find zoos cruel
Would you rather see them in research labs?
Let's just let them die... Better?
@@texaswrestling9249 That wasn't happening so why are you using that as an excuse.
The mother hadn’t rejected her baby so why did you decide to hand rear her? She just took a little longer to recover from her operation. Questionable decision in my opinion.
You are absolutely correct. These arrogant zoo keepers just want to have any excuse to hand raise the baby so they take the babies whenever it is convenient. They do not care one bit about the safety or health of the animals. It's all about money and their egos.
Exactly, so glad to know others feel this way to.
I feel the same way! These animals have made it on their own in the wild for eons without their help! 🤷♀️
I think they do this as “job security”.
@@DP-ih6nt That's for sure!
The mom didn't respond maternally when they gave the baby back. Easy to guess from your sofa expertise, but actually reading about what happened might be advisable. 🤦
Beautiful
❤❤❤
Well, they sure would not do that in the Jungle
Very beautiful baby
when hand rearing is necessary I wonder if a mask of mother's face would help in attempts to reintroduce the two,
Lol
Do You think everybody can understand You? Good luck
Humans always know more than nature.
God you're awesome good work
Čupkica!!💋🍼🍼🍼
I don't understand their reasoning of "us" deciding when the mother is ready and when she is not. All I can do is hope their right. I suppose they know if the mother is not ready based on observations of her personality, physical condition, and other characteristics. Trust them in their decisions.
I'm going to guess that people with postgraduate degrees in biology and animal care know best. Good grief.
You aren't an expert in primatology and they are ... That's why you don't understand and yes, they know what they are doing. You don't

@@elliesouza717 Actually you are wrong.
So disturbing and disheartening. Birth is made to be left alone. These creatures should be too. How cruel to the mother-baby to make them separate
💖💖💖🙋♀️😘😘😘😘😘
U didn’t have to remove it from its mother
So you decided to take baby away from momma completely? Mom and baby would rebound/thrive with contact. Eh?
Freedom for Chimps
Маленькие какие
I don't understand they have baby in wild and they are fine why do have to do what you did to the mother? you need to let them be
Staff are ALWAYS so quick to take over.....NOT APPROPRIATE...
This one was REAL bad, if she had her baby at night, it might all been well..But it might have gone as planned by staff
I would take care oof them for free😊
los animales merecen por sus derechos y se seres sintientes vivir libres en la selva su hogar donde pude. llevar una vida plena y feliz nadie merece estar en encerrado de por vida hasta ke muere CIERRE ZOOS ANIMAL FREE
Deixava esse filhote morrer de fome
if you were actually “monitoring” her why did you allow Daisy to steal her? She was not caring…she wanted to eat baby and was laughing…give baby back to mom…or is she dead?
They should have let her give birth naturally, all that was so unnecessary.
She might not except the baby because they interference with her natural birthing process. Thousands of years they have been giving birth, old primates, they don't need human interference.
ROFL "Dr. Beverly"....Just out of curiosity, how long have you been a Veterinarian, & from where did you graduate... Seriously, you can't possible believe you know better than the professionals (who spent years being educated) at the Knoxville Zoo???
@@poppykok5 did you watch the video? I’m no doctor but I can see nobody protected the mom or baby from evil Daisy…it sounds like there was a fight and mom was killed
@@beverlytrader9363 I thought she did give birth naturally, it was just that she failed to expel the placenta afterwards so that's why they had to operate.
@@maryc530 ROFL it's common troop behavior. Going past 7th grade has its benefits.
No debetia estar en zoo esos 🙊.Ese no es su habitad
These places look for reasons to do this. It's unfortunate. This was not necessary 🤷
Sai de retro Satanás.
Hope she doesn’t try to tear somebody’s face off!
Que razón tienes para quitarle el bebé a su madre ¿Lo ha rechazado ? ¿.No tiene leche ? Solo así puedes quitarle una cría a un animal .
Yes she did reject it once they gave it back
😢
Gid bless these well-meaning people who do an amazing job caring for chimps and gorillas, but still...it just seems like they can't wait to get their smarmy little human hands on a mama chimp/gorilla to medically intervene durung and after a birth. They like to have a baby animal in the nursery because babies of any species but especially ape, bring visitors. "It's been an hour and 6 minutes...let's go in for that placenta!!"
"Tough decision" my butt..most zoos are over the moon to have a baby chimp to handraise and while most of the time, staff do make a sound decision by removing the infant, in this case they should have given the mother more time to expel the afterbirth. The mother had trouble coming out of anesthesia...there are a few reasons why I would have taken the chance that the placenta would drop by itself.Knoxville Zoo gets a thumbs down on this one.

WHEN ITS GO NORMAL WITH YOU????? ITS NORMAL INTO THE TREES!!! NOT ON BETON!!! 😢 AND THAT IS AN PROBLEM WITH THE ZOO ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME IN THIS ZOO!!!
They wear statoscopes around their necks like badges of office. I'm an electrician but I don't have coils of cable around my neck.
They wear them because they use them frequently. Sorry you don't get to do that
It was not a "tough" decision for you to take that baby from its mother! You were looking for ANY reason to take that baby so you could all show off and make countless videos of you "caring" for it. This is all about money and your egos and you should all be ashamed of yourselves! You are disgusting and disgraceful!!
I SO agree!!!!
Obscenely ignorant comments like this prove that Dunning Kruger effect is alive and well on UA-cam. 😂
@@mortalclown3812 Well, your flat-out uninformed and ridiculous comments prove that you are simply naive and have not done any research. Instead of repeating something you learned in your high school psychology class yesterday, why don't you educate yourself on the subject matter before commenting? Until then, just shut your mouth!!

Give her to her mother if you haven’t already please
I'm sure they know what they are doing
They know better than you how to care for them
