Jameela the gorilla from the Cleveland Zoo makes her WKYC debut

[@janetkizer5956]

Here in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I’ve been following this lovely story. Jameela is so utterly adorable, and her story is heartwarming. Best wishes for her future.

Thanks for sharing a comment today! 😁

Pretty baby! She is one of the cutest babies ever. I wish I could hold her.

[@ARiddle1986]

I know when I saw the footage of her birth, I just wanted to cuddle her. Such a precious baby!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Yes! 👋😁

[@thetooginator153]

The Cincinnati Zoo adopted a baby gorilla named Gladys who is now a young adult. The local reporter got to hold Gladys and that man TOTALLY fell in love with Gladys. The gorilla experts at the zoo raised Gladys from infancy and they did their best to raise Gladys as a gorilla - and it worked! Naturally, Gladys was an adorable (and strong!) baby!

Fredrika (Freddy) is Cleveland Zoo's Superstar! She's an angel. It's her behavior that is helping us save Jameela. Happy early mother's day to you, Freddy!

[@TheFlashyWeasel]

Glad they have bonded so well…does Fredricka have bumps on her head or is that just straw?

[@deannaperkins754]

Jameela is such a cute baby gorilla! I'm so happy she's loved!!! ❤

Thank you for following along. 👍😁

Thank you for following Jameela’s story for us! Love from Fort Worth!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

You are welcome. Updates will appear weekly. 👍😁

[@linedanzer4302]

I've been following Jameela since the c-section and am so happy that she is thriving in her new home with her new mom. I still think of her bio-mom Sekani and hope she is able to have another baby to bond with.

[@emmas1082]

Freddy is about 50 years old and still going strong!!!

[@notouchythechichis]

The real superstar here is Freddi. She totally stepped up to the plate and saved the day…and Jameela quite literally. She’s a SUPERSTAAAA!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

She is really special! 👍😁

[@Christynmaine]

She’s absolutely adorable! So good to know she’ll have siblings to play with. Freddie is amazing. 🦍❤

Hey Baby Jameela I’ve been following your development and relocation…Thanks to all the awesome volunteers and zoo staff members for an awesome job!!! Hugs and kisses from the Island of St Lucia🌴🙂🥰

[@bellis8204]

I grew up going to the Fort Worth Zoo (my favorite place EVER as a kid), so of course I'm totally invested in Jameela! What's not to love about that little gal?

[@LeahS-e5i]

We LOVE our Jameela here in Dallas. Following her story warms my heart.

[@Liz_678]

So adorable 🥰 Glad they found her a momma❤

[@HSR-bk5qb]

They definitely do need a bigger outside enclosure.... and a bigger, safer distance between them and the crowds.

[@angiemyers8350]

They are getting one

[@PatriciaSanches-wb6pi]

​@@angiemyers8350 when, how do you know?

[@larrysanimalsafari]

@@PatriciaSanches-wb6pi The zoo announced they will build new habitats for the gorillas and orangutans. It will be called Primate Forest. Good news for all. Construction starts in the fall - it will be done in phases.

[@kelleybutler9203]

@@PatriciaSanches-wb6piYou can look at the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo socials or KZbin and it’s going to be called Primate Rainforest but it’s already under construction so it will open in segments because it’s HUGE. It’s really what all zoo’s and Aquarium’s are trying to get done for non human primates. It will show how the primatologist and zoo staff actually train and do medical checks with the actual primates coming over when they want it done and other primates husbandry also. Also much of zoo’s and Aquarium are helping with huge amounts toward conservation and education in Africa as well. So there’s a lot happening but you can find a small updates about it. Hopefully we’ll learn more but this is something we want done correct and not necessarily the quickest.

[@kelleybutler9203]

@@PatriciaSanches-wb6piAlrady working on section because it’s going to be huge and called “The Primate Rain Forest” that could change but it’s already under construction. There’s KZbin information on Cleveland MetroParks Zoo and their other social medias. It’ll probably be opened in sections as well but we’re waiting for more information from the actual Zoo society regarding all the details.

Im so glad to see Freddy bonding with Jameela. She is such a precious little gorilla. I would love to give her endless hugs and cuddles ❤❤

I wonder if Freddi sings, "This ain't Texas. Let me hold her. So lay that bay-bee down, down, down!"

[@purpleness64]

Sweet baby

[@shawneeisa10]

I so love this ❤, Freddie is so amazing for stepping in as a surrogate mom once again. I was so worried for Jameela to see her biological mom didn’t take well to her after the C-section. But where there is will there is away. Just glad this baby gorilla gets to thrive and be apart of a loving troop. 😊

[@anne-mariemcinnis9143]

You guys are precious!

[@timdutton2056]

Son, you are NEVER going to hold Jameela.

[@imperialgirl4858]

I think the whole nation has been following Jameela's story and are thrilled at this outcome. She is truly adorable!

Jameela may be the Supersatr, but Freddy is The Gorilla Queen! She is the adoptive mother of not only Jameela, but Kayembe as well.

[@yomama8873]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤sweet baby

[@karinabrampt1556]

Jameela has the perfect surrogate mum (mom), in Frederica. The way Frederica keeps Kyembe at a distance until he understands that his new sister is still too young for rough play. It is also great management that Cleaveland Zoo, with their lengthy experience have kept Frederica and Jameela away from the silver backs at the zoo. Frederica appears calm and confident and Jameela is such a pretty baby gorilla. I believe that this ape species was on the Ark in the story of Noah and the Flood in the Book of Genesis 6:19. I don't believe in evolution since the Living God created man in His image that is Spirit, but man sinned, and his nature changed from perfect and sinless to corrupt and sinfull. All the same God created the creatures also vegetarian, but after the Fall of mankind, and after the curse of sin came upon the earth, animals became carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore.

[@keithmuehsam8990]

Poor Kyembe🥹🥹

[@don4glenn]

I would love to see Jameella going to her real, natural habitat in Africa.

[@gilraenn29]

I know people really love the gorillas, but they are very intelligent and they are in a cage. They should be rehomed to sanctuaries who have no cement blocks, but all natural trees and grass surrounding them.

[@Powerranger-le4up]

The zoo is updating the enclosures and construction starts this fall.

[@angie-xy5sf]

There is no way this guy is an expert. DO NOT BRING BALLOONS TO ANY ZOO!!!

[@ninocuantico1167]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙊🙉🙈

[@justmejenny7986]

This news reporter is horrible. I don't know why he keeps trying so hard to insert himself into the video. I'm here for Jameela. He ruined the video.

[@caseyfensand8935]

Balloons and a banana? How about a donation and just focus on the interview? If you feel I need to donate something, ask the zoo for their wish list. Or maybe bring some thing for the keepers.

That Little Baby Gorilla Looks Exactly Like The Neighborhood Kids That Are Running Around The Low Income Housing Projects.
