A baby, named Jameela, was born prematurely via emergency cesarean about four to six weeks early and celebrated her first birthday despite being kept in a sandwich bag immediately after birth due to her small size of just 11oz (328g). This remarkable survival story is among several notable animal births reported, including a vital monkey birth at a wildlife park, the first birth of a rare and endangered pygmy hippopotamus in Athens' Attica Zoological Park in 10 years, and the arrival of a rare fanaloka pup at the Nashville zoo, weighing just a quarter of a pound. Jameela's birth is particularly significant as she was the third gorilla born in the zoo's 115-year history. However, her mother Sekani showed little interest in her.
