We spend quite a bit of time at the low land Gorilla exhibit. This baby was having a blast swinging on the ropes and bouncing in the hammock.
And this juvenile found himself some tasty greens to eat. He also found a place out of sight of the aggressive young adult male Gorilla.
And that aggressive young adult male made a “pass” at the baby and scared him into screaming loudly. Momma was quick to the rescue and comforted the startled baby. Obviously, we come by the mothering (and teasing) instinct naturally!
