A Heartwarming Moment Between A Huge Rescued Gorilla And A Tiny Wild Bush Baby

The caregivers couldn’t believe their eyes when they observed Bobo sharing a lovely moment with his newest and most unusual pal – a wild bush infant – during their morning checks.

“Our silverback gorilla Bobo made a surprising new friend this week — a wild bush baby!” In a Facebook post, Ape Action Africa said.

“Caregivers discovered him cradling the tiny primate during their morning checks, and were amazed to see him handling it with the utmost care.”

Bobo’s group enclosure was most likely home to the little creature. Even still, it’s fascinating to watch it interact with its massive neighbors in such a pleasant manner.

“The bush baby showed no fear of Bobo,” Ape Action Africa spokesperson Elissa O’Sullivan told Bored Panda.

“He moved around his body and spend his time hopping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo.”

Because wild bushes are generally nocturnal, the sight of a bush kid hanging out with a group of gorillas in broad daylight piqued the caretakers’ interest even more.
