Gorilla Baby "Mary Zwo"
Mary Two and her mother Gana had been separated from the other gorillas
in Münster zoo after Mary Two's father N'Kwango repeatedly attacked the
mother and baby. After the separationin July 2007, Gana appeared to
pine for the other gorillas and had neglected her baby as a result.
"Gorilla babies are similar to human babies," said zoo director Jörg
Adler, explaining why the tiny gorilla was admitted to a human
hospital. A veterinarian clinic would not have been able to provide a
sufficient level of care, he said. In fact, gorilla babies are often
treated in human hospitals. Earlier in the year, pediatricians in
Heidleberg successfully treated a seriously ill animal. Mary Two was
brought back to the zoo -- complete with incubator by the fire
brigade after her condition improved. Mary Two was transported to a
special gorilla "nursery" in Stuttgart Zoo so that she could be looked
after together with other infant gorillas. Mary Two's name has a tragic
etymology. The original Mary was born last year in the zoo, but was
killed at the age of five months by another gorilla. The case bares
certain similarities to that of Berlin Zoo's celebrity polar bear cub
Knut, who was placed in an incubator after being rejected by his
mother. For this exclusive Steiff special edition, the Wilbelma
Zoological Botanical Garden will donate its portion of the profits to
the gorilla and rainforest conservation organisation. "Berggorilla
Regenwald Direektbilfe eV" to benefit Mary's fellow gorillas in their
African homeland. 30cmMachine Washable at 40 deg
