Meet the precious baby gorilla being raised by human doctors after she was rejected at birth by her mother Doctors at a San Francisco children's hospital are pros when it comes to handling newborns - even the non-human, hairy kind. When a gorilla at the San Francisco Zoo became pregnant last year - a rare occurrence for animals in captivity - staffers and veterinarians contacted neonatal experts at University of California San Francisco Benihoff Children's Hospital to consult them on the birth. Ten weeks ago, the endangered western lowland gorilla named Nneka delivered a healthy baby girl in her enclosure, but rejected her soon after.

On Friday, the yet-to-be named gorilla got a check-up from her human handlers, who gave her a clean bill of health, KGO-TV reported. Teething tike: At only 8lbs, the infant is small for her age, but she is said to be strong and agile, grabbing onto and chewing anything she could get her hands on At only 8lbs, the infant is small for her age, but she is said to be strong and agile, grabbing onto branches and anything else she could get her nimble little hands on. Rogers has described her restless, long-limbed charge as active and clear-eyed. UCSF medics have been closely working with veterinarians in zookeepers to make sure that the adorable 2-month-old primate gets the right care. They are also closely monitoring her development and keeping an eye out for any health issues that may arise. She has exactly the same heart and lung sounds as a human baby. She's just a little hairier," Dr. Yao Sun told the paper. UCFS doctors are no strangers to patients from the animal kingdom: the local zoo in the past has consulted medical experts on elderly primates and brought in surgeons and dentists to heal ailing animals. The infant gorilla came into this world July 17 - the daughter of 14-year-old Nneka and 32-year-old Oscar Jonsey, a silverback. Zookeepers tried to trick Nneka into nursing her baby by leaving her in the pen and keeping their distance, but the mom showed no interest in caring for her child.

The plan is eventually to transfer the youngster into the care of her maternal grandmother, who also raised her half-bother, and have the infant fully introduced into the gorilla troop. The San Francisco Zoo is hosting a naming contest, asking the public to vote for a moniker for the baby gorilla.
