The baby had a bit of a complication due to some complications during delivery. He has been kept in the intensive care unit of the animal hospital. He is being given oxygen and other necessary fluids there. Mother Emami is recovering under similar conditions in the gorilla bed room.”
"According to the observation, it was the right decision to move Emami to the C category. If we had delayed the operation, the child might not have been saved." - said the associate of the animal service department of the safari park Director Nadine Lambersky.
