Just like a sick child, Mary Zwo was rushed from a local zoo to the hospital after being abandoned by its mother.

The gorilla, who was in acute danger because of hypothermia and lack of sugar, was wrapped in nappies and doctors attached a drip to inject milk and life-saving medicaments.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=465755&in_page_id=1811"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dailymail.co.uk/img/E965A3A2-57FF-41CF-8E02-74ED0784E169" alt="baby gorilla" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=465755&in_page_id=1811"><P>
Other cables attached to the gorilla's little body keep a watch on the heart beat, the pulse, temperature and the function of the lungs.
