A video of a chimpanzee mother and infant will warm your heart. Sedgwick County Zoo released the touching video online. Tuesday’s C-section delivered a baby boy.
The hospital workers kept the monkey for two days since it wasn’t breathing well after birth. Mahale embraces her son two days apart in the video. Kucheza means ‘play’ in Swahili.
Video caption, “After almost 2 full days, Mahale and baby were reunited this morning! Mahale gave birth via C-section after her labour had stopped progressing. The baby wasn’t getting enough oxygen on his own at birth so he had to stay in the hospital to receive treatment and care from the medical team until he was healthy enough to return to mom.”
The zoo also posted that the mother and infant are doing well. Post caption, “Just in from the keepers: Mahale and Baby are doing amazing and our boy now has a name! Kucheza (koo-CHAY-zuh) means “play” in Swahili. In this video, you can see a sweet moment between mom and son while he nurses.”

Kwch.com claimed that the zoo’s director of animal health, Dr Heather Arens, helped birth the youngster. She informed the portal that doctors can’t monitor animal contractions like human ones. She stated Kucheza’s birth was the greatest they could’ve hoped for.
“The teamwork and the collaboration with human medical doctors and the collaboration with the community, I think that is something that not every zoo has. So fortunate to be a part of it here in Wichita,” The portal’s doctor said.
