This is the heartwarming moment a mother met her baby chimp for the first time just 14 hours after she gave birth via a planned C-section.
Mahale, 30, celebrated the birth of her fourth offspring on Tuesday (April 8) at the Sedgwick County Zoo (SCZ) in Wichita, Kansas, via cesarean section.
The chimp gave birth to a little girl who has been named Kyansa after a peak in the Mahale Mountains National Park in Tanzania.
