Transcript for Baby Gorilla Clings to Humans After Mother Rejects Her

Now, let's get to that baby gorilla looking for a family. Her mom rejected her, and humans are stepping in to help. This morning, two zoos are joining forces. Working to find this adorable gorilla a new mom. The 5-week-old baby girl, kamina, was rejected immediately after being born, leaving her life at risk. The staff of the Oklahoma City zoo jumping into action, caring for kamina around the clock. Holding her hand, and wearing shirts made of felt for the newborn to clutch. But realizing it wouldn't be enough, they turned to another zoo for help. We don't have a surrogate gorilla to take her. We contacted Cincinnati zoo. The Cincinnati zoo recently found a surrogate for another gorilla and happily helped to agree helping kamina find one too. Flying her on Monday, in faux fur for a flight across the midwest to her new home in Cincinnati. Welcome to Cincinnati. It's a great example of how zoos cooperate and want what's best. She will be introduced to others. Put your head through that hole. Reporter: Something our own Matt Gutman experienced last year, with a fragile baby girl who was also rejected by her mother. Feels like having a little baby on me. Reporter: She was adopted by a 31-year-old surrogate named Lindsey. They are hoping she will adopt her too, making them sisters. We hope so too. They say it's a bittersweet moment, so happy to see kamina get a family of her own, but sad to see her go. Look at that. Yeah.
