A 27-year old Silverback Gorilla named Motuba brought into the Nebraska Medical Center after he got into a fight with another Gorilla for a CT scan and surgery for a fractured jaw.
Motuba is a younger Gorilla that got into a fight with one of the older gorillas that left his jaw fractured and 3 of his teeth pointing outward.

I find it interesting that they brought it to a human hospital. I suppose it's physiology is probably closer to ours than most animals though
I cant believe a gorilla was in a hospital
that would be odd if you were the doctor when that came in
That's crazy that he was taken to a hospital. I hope he recovers and has learned his lesson. He better not get into any more fights.
they took him to a human hospital because he was bleeding alot and they didnt have the supplys or equipment at the zoo to take care of him and they did
that's really crazy.. but its awesome that they helped the gorilla on his fractures.. i hope that helps for the gorilla
That's what you get when you put two large male animals in one pen.
poor guy, thats gotta hurt, get well soon big man =)
He's huge! Why did they take him to the hospital? Isn't there a place for uncommon animals that have serious injuries?
Poor guy :( I am glad that he is okay now. Tell the other gorillas to stop being mean!
