didnt the zookeepers take it away? not in keeping with the fun theme of the zoo...

The mother must be really sad and can't bear to be separated from her baby.... Maybe the zookeepers will take it away once she has calmed down?

Have a heart lah. If they take it away so soon, the mother would be traumatised. Poor thing.

Yes, its a sad thing but than again, its the course of nature. Just like when mother rabbit eats the weakers one so that the others could survive.

On another note, I think you got a good documentary here.
