This is Bobo, a 24-year-old Western Lowland Gorilla that was rescued by Ape Action Africa in 1996
Recently, Bobo made a new friend, and their unusual relationship surprised everyone
“On his morning checks, our gorilla caregiver discovered Bobo cradling a young, wild bush baby”
“The bush baby showed no fear of Bobo, moving around his body and spending time hopping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo”
“Bobo’s group-mates were curious about the bush baby and hoped that he might share it with them, but Bobo kept the bush baby to himself”
They spent at least two hours together before Bobo returned his new friend to a set of trees within his enclosure, and the bush baby disappeared from view
