Kamina's mother was given several opportunities to bond with her baby within the first 24 hours after the birth and didn't show any interest in her, putting the newborn's life at risk, according to an OKC Zoo veterinarian.

The Great Escape team reports Kamina is currently eating well and gradually gaining weight.
