Boy Rescued by Gorilla Recovering

The 3-year-old boy who fell into a primate exhibit at a zoo just west of Chicago and was rescued by a gorilla was upgraded to fair condition. Doctors said they don’t believe he will suffer any long-term effects. The boy had minor head injuries, broken bones in one hand and a number of scrapes and cuts, Dr. Wendy Marshall of Loyola Medical Center said. He also is alert despite being unconscious for 14 hours, Marshall said. The gorilla carried the boy to safety after he fell 18 feet onto concrete at Brookfield Zoo.
