https://blog.zoo.org/2026/05/obstetrical-team-performs-rare-c.html?m=1 This happened at the zoo in Seattle. A full team of human doctors (OBs and neonatologist) and nurses were brought from the local hospital to do the surgery. Made me wonder how many human doctors have had the change to work with animals like this? What would be different doing a gorilla c-section compared to a human one? submitted by /u/zeatherz [link] [comments]
