A Surrogate Gorilla Mommy-Awwwww


Barb Jones, 68, must be a sight to behold at the zoo in Columbus, Ohio, where she’s a surrogate mother to baby gorillas. She’s not a womb-bearing surrogate; she’s a role-model surrogate. She teaches baby gorillas how to be gorillas (for the benefit of the baby and the observing mother). She crawls around through straw with the baby on her back; she climbs up the platform in the cage; she coughs when the baby misbehaves (because that’s what adult gorillas do). But she draws the line at trimming baby’s nails with her teeth.
