Even more so human fathers.
That was about the sweetest, most tender show of love and elation I have ever seen. I've been watching a lot of these kinds of videos in quarantine and have become so fascinated with these gentle giants...but this one moved me even more than the others. It was like she couldn't contain her joy. Most of the gorilla moms use one arm to hold the newborn and the other to eat, balance. But this mom kept embracing her baby with both arms. It was a joy to experience these tender moments of a mama bursting with love!!❤🥰

I know right🥰 What a good Mama she is!!!! She can’t stop looking at baby and kissing and hugging the baby. So precious💗💗 I wonder if this is her first baby?? I would say probably only because it says in the description that this is the first gorilla born at the zoo in 24 years. She’s a natural though. I suppose that instinct just takes over. It’s amazing how gentle she is with the baby. She is definitely soooo in love with him or her lol

Was just so happy to see this wonderful sight. The mom was smiling, I swear. Then I saw that the baby didn’t make it. It’s heartbreaking,I will actually pray for this mom . She showed so much love and tenderness to her baby , she will be grieving.

Not only grieving the loss of her baby, but she will probably demoted within the troop. Sad all around.
Ohhhhhhh the loss of this precious little baby is so devastating. You can just see and feel how much Tumani loved her baby. These creatures are so incredibly beautiful and loyal and they feel emotions the same way we do. I can't imagine how sad she is and I hope she has another chance to be a mother. 😪♥️

She loved her baby so much she smothered baby - the baby died.. It happens.✌️
Never seen a gorilla so happy. She can't get enough of her baby. Probably wakes it up when it's sleeping so they can play.
Thanks for sharing this! Very obvious that Mama is very protective of her baby and is totally in love with it ❤. I hope that the zoo will allow the baby to stay with Mama.

It depends on its gender. If it's a boy, it will have to be sent away in 12-15 years otherwise it will start fighting and challenging its own father. Even the girls leave the natal group to have families of their own with lone silver backs between 8 and 11 years of age. (They hit puberty far earlier than humans). That is likely what will happen if it's a girl. She'll be moved with a silver back and other females in the future. It has to be done, just like human kids have to leave the nest eventually, so do gorillas.

Fat chance - why don't people just leave animals alone in their natural environments to live out their natural lives and relationships whether 'endangered species' or not. We do not have the right to keep animals captive in this way.

Doesn't the fact that every day they are slaughtered by HUMAN'S so much they are extremely endangered show they need protection? Or how about their natural habitat being depleted at allarming rates? Where do they go to get away from human's? So what are you going to do about it? It's easy for you to make grand pronouncements when you are looking at a video. Maybe you need to think about the animal. What happens when they are all gone and all we have left are platitudes.

@@marshamoore8385 I'm just saying we need to leave animals and their habitats the hell alone. Species go extinct every day - it is part of life/evolution. I do believe eventually humans will also go extinct in a couple of hundred more years when they have destroyed everything that should sustain them - and then the world will recover and be a better place without humans. I am doing my bit by living vegan and encouraging others to do the same and not exploit or interfer in other animals lives at all. Animals are here with us not for us and I am only a single person doing what I can to not harm them.
I’m so sad to learn that the baby died only 6 days after birth. Hope Tumani will soon get another baby that will be strong and healthy and bring her a lot of joy. It’s clear that she’s a loving and caring mother.
Sweetest Mother I've ever seen! Bless her heart!!
This was so great to see. The way she consoled her baby. Loved it and that Silverback was and is so amazing to look at. He looked so big and regaled. Love the gorillas
How precious! She’s very protective and loves her so much it’s so obvious. Thanks for the smile
The baby is so tiny. You can see how much the mama loves her baby.

The mother wasn’t letting the baby nurse, they watched but did nothing because they didn’t understand. Baby gorilla don’t cry unless they’re starving to death.
That's so beautiful. That mama has so much love.
Momma is so sweet and attentive to her baby. The momma is so gentle. I love watching these videos

She is a great Mother...so protective of her baby. Cuddles it close for warmth and feeding. Gorilla mothers are far better Mothers than humans.
She is a very loving mom.

What a beautiful and innocent sight to witness. I agree with the other comments, this momma can teach people how to truly love their babies. Rest in peace little one. 🙏
Tumani is in love with her precious newborn. So much care, love and devotion in the way she hugs and kisses her baby. True beauty. So sad to hear the baby didn’t make it.
What a BEAUTIFUL video and such a proud father.. Lovely family this blessed baby was born to.

I work in labor and delivery/NICU for human babies. Just from this video I can tell baby looks lethargic and there is some disconnect with feeding. She isn’t feeding in response to the baby’s cues. Feel so bad for her, poor mama. Also I wonder, is it normal for them to roll around and hold the baby that tight?

Poor things. The baby appeared to be sucking at mom's lips. Maybe she, despite all the prep taught to her, just didn't know what to do. Hopefully next time will be different. It would be nice to see an explanation from the zoo posted.

Never been a big fan of zoos or circus's but in the last 6 to 8 yrs ive come to realise that to protect an endangered species, zoos are the only alternative Seeing these magnificent Lowland & mountain Gorillas & their now serious depletion of numbers, threatening extinction im very happy there are responsible zoos who take extraordinary care & attention of their Gorilla guests My love of most Gorilla species has never wavered & as parents particularly mothers, they are so wonderfully loving & protective of their babies Ive watched mum gorillas prop their baby up in front of their faces & really look into the little ones eyes with so much love it makes me feel as a mum a tremendous sense of understanding & genuine care & love these gorillas mums show to their babies, its so heart warming & of all the primates id vote the Gorilla family the best at parenting Im so sad the plight for continued existance in the wild & natural habitat for Gorillas is so endangered now & the only way to keep this magnificent animal primate still existant, is in Zoos Ive been so greatly surprised at how good, really good zoos are at providing happy & as natural as possible environments for my lovely gorilla families i watch daily, the zoos in Japan & the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium & many marvellous American zoos & in my country of England, so much care & attention its so heartening we care so much for the survival and continuation of these amazing creatures Thank you, this is a short film clip but its huge where this love & care of the baby by its mum is just fantastic to witness. Just bloody marvellous Many many thanks 👧🇬🇧
