Como Zoo Orangutan Gives Birth

Minnesota Daily

A Como Zoo orangutan recently had a very interesting trip to the doctor.

On Dec. 13, an orangutan named Markisa gave birth to a baby via Cesarean section at the University's Veterinary Medical Center.

Not only were Como Zoo zookeepers and University veterinarians involved in the rare procedure, but medical personnel from the University Children's Hospital Fairview also took part.

I am a big fan of the Como Zoo. For one, it has free admission. Second, I love the Conservatory.
