At Ape Action Africa, a special place helps take care of monkeys, chimpanzees, and gorillas. Many of the animals there are orphans because people took them as pets or hunted them. The people who work there love the animals and make sure they’re healthy, checking on them all the time.
One day, something amazing happened. A gorilla named Bobo, who is the biggest and strongest of the group, was seen holding a tiny friend—a wild bush baby! The bush baby was so small and didn’t seem scared at all. It moved all over Bobo, and Bobo just held him gently.
The bush baby even hopped around in the open but always came back to Bobo. This wasn’t really surprising because Bobo, even though he’s the leader, is very kind. He had fought to be in charge but still had a soft heart.
Seeing a bush baby during the day is rare since they usually sleep then. No one at the sanctuary had ever seen a wild animal playing with a rescued one before. Bobo’s friends were very curious, but he didn’t want to share his little buddy. He wanted to keep the bush baby close.
After spending two happy hours together, Bobo gently put the bush baby back in the trees, and the bush baby went back into the wild. Isn’t it wonderful to see how much love and care these gorillas can show? Some people might think gorillas are scary, but Bobo showed how gentle they can be inside.
