Adorable photos of a critically endangered western lowland gorilla cradling and playing with her newborn baby at a zoo in South West England have recently gone viral.
The entire moment of their bonding was made even more special as the new mom gorilla, named Kala, had lost her firstborn baby just a year ago after undergoing an emergency C-section. A Bristol Zoo photographer snapped the photos of the giant mommy dearest caressing her baby while enjoying the sunshine; the newborn was less than two weeks old.
