Fort Worth Zoo has hit a bit of a hurdle in Jameela's rearing because the female they had hoped would be a surrogate mother for her just isn't interested enough so they're now focusing on another female in the troop.

There are people commenting on the above update making comments about like giving Jameela to Zookeeper Chad which is super annoying but there is a special type of humor in seeing this when I'm still so sure that Fort Worth Zoo had a subtle, plausibly deniable dig at Zookeeper Chad and Mogo Zoo in one of their initial posts about hand-rearing Jameela fgyeuiud

Anyway, the keepers at Fort Worth Zoo are doing great for Jameela and I have no additional worry for her future.

#statisticalcats gorillas #statisticalcats zoo blogging #zookeeper chad negative #mogo zoo negative #jameela's already crossed some baby milestones and the re-introduction process is going at a good pace despite the initial surrogate option #not working out #it kills me a little inside when i see fort worth zoo describe things as going slow #because they're REALLY not #they've done so much more in this amount of time than mogo zoo ever did #(also i think the surrogate mother mogo zoo chose for baby kaius also isn't showing the proper amount of interest to be a very good option #and they've already wasted SO MUCH time catering to the media and parading kaius around away from other gorillas #while fort worth zoo is still so much earlier in the process and realizing they're on the wrong path and changing plans #and actually doing what's best for jameela #and paying attention to her needs rather than using her as some pr prop #so anyway yeah no this baby's staying here #if she needs to go to another zoo she'll be going to another aza accredited zoo #not being sent overseas especially not to someone who is LESS qualified)#ok rant over gfyeiuhodi
