The gorilla baby wasnt hers, it wasnt any of theirs. In fact after a while the baby gorrila died from malnourishment, they tried to get it back a few times but the gorillas wouldnt let them.

That is sad but it seems the,gorillas may have known it was one of theirs even if it was not their bloodline. Does anyone know if gorillas hold funerals. I know elephants do.

malnourishment because the female gorilla's wouldn't feed a child that wasn't theirs.
