The labor was not going well so the zoo had to call in emergency help from local doctors to perform surgery to save the baby and the mother's lives. Both are doing well now.

Full Story.

Similar story! one of my mentors (an ICU Doctor) was called to the zoo when they couldn't diagnose a sick otangutan in renal failure. He managed to resuscitate and treat it back to health. Total badass.
