The video capturing the pregnant gorilla giving birth for the first time is truly remarkable.
Parenting is a remarkable journey. The expansion of a family is often considered one of life’s greatest milestones – both for humans and animals alike.
Calaya, a western lowland gorilla, embraced motherhood for the first time in the summer of 2019, an event documented by staff at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, DC.
Looking at the images captured, it’s evident that she is poised to excel in her new role as a mother.
Beautiful images of a mother and her newborn
Following the birth of her first baby, a male, Calaya exhibited behavior that seemed almost… human-like?
Her actions speak volumes. Witnessing the gentle touch of a mother caring for her offspring is truly heartwarming. She nurtures her baby, providing warmth and ensuring his comfort to the best of her ability.
A pure and simple bond between mother and son:
