A baby chimpanzee named Cassie, who was dropped by her mother hours after birth and suffered a broken leg, is being transferred from her current zoo to another facility. Zookeepers were forced to hand-rear the infant following the initial maternal rejection.

After subsequent attempts to reunite the baby with the chimpanzee troop failed, zoo officials determined that relocating the primate is in her best interest. The decision marks the end of local integration efforts for the hand-reared animal.
