Can you imagine the poor gorilla not having a clue why people are cutting her open, it would be so terrified! Unless it was under drugs at the time.. Luckily the baby is fine but yeah, poor gorills. :(

Most likely filled up with drugs to calm her down as they're quite prone to going "ape" crazy when they feel threatened. They're quite smart so afterwards when she woke up she may be able to connect the dots and realise the zoo saved her. It happens a lot in the animal kingdom, that animals who are very sick or in danger will some how notice that the interventions of man, although at first frightening, have actually saved them and they become really grateful in return. It's adorable too :P
