Amazing Gorilla Encounter

Animal instincts never cease to amaze me.

I found this video early this week and I thought it would be great to share it. The story behind it is this one:

"In the African jungle, conservationist Damian Aspinall searches for Kwibi, a lowland gorilla he hasn't seen for 5 years. Kwibi grew up with Damian at his Howletts Wild Animal Park in England. When he was five, he was released into the forests of Gabon, West Africa as part of conservation programme to re-introduce gorillas back into the wild. Now Kwibi's 10 years old, much bigger and stronger. Will Damian find him? Will Kwibi attack him?"





I hope you´ve enjoyed the video and have a wonderful weekend!

Laughing Baby And Dog

It´s amazing how animals so big like this one can be so gentle with a little baby. They have a wonderful instinct to play with toddlers.
