Baby ape delivered by consultant gynaecologist

Snip from BBC News:

Jaya weighed just over four pounds when he was born on Thursday

Jersey's consultant gynaecologist was called to a birth with a difference at Jersey Zoo.

Sumatran orang-utan Gina needed an emergency caesarean after staff found the placenta was blocking her birth canal, preventing her baby being born.

Staff called consultant gynaecologist Neil McLachlan and consultant anaesthetist Gary Purcell Jones.

Mr McLachlan performed an emergency caesarean and Jaya was born weighing just over four pounds (1.86 kilos). He is now in an incubator and his mother is recovering after her sixth, and most unusual, delivery.
