Virunga National Park Rangers Rescue a Poached Baby Gorilla
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
In a well-planned undercover operation, a team of Virunga National Park rangers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, lead by ranger Christian Shamavu, recovered a poached baby Grauer's gorilla by posing as buyers for the infant gorilla and arresting three poachers. The small team of five rangers found the baby through a tip from a contact in the Lubero territory and the town of Kayna. It is unknown what forest the gorilla came from.

Poor poor little guy, missing his mother. You can clearly see he's in shock. This breaks my heart! 😭

He’ll be okay and forget all about her after they feed him a few times and snuggle him.

@@suetaylor1127 The loss of a parent can really change an ape. I've seen it firsthand with Gin the chimpanzee. His adoptive mom Sazae died, and he's never been the same. Now he's become something of a loner.

He needs a good spanking.
The genuine love these people show for these gorilla babies is touching. What do we need on this earth? - Much more of whatever THESE BLESSED PEOPLE have in their hearts. Greed is ultimately why there are gorillas orphans. There is no greed in gorilla society or in the persons who look after these wondrous fur people.
Thank you Mr. Shamavu, I have IMMENSE respect for both your cause and your bravery, facing such disgusting opponents to help these lovely creatures.

I second that
The ranger holding the baby has a loving manner about him. Very rewarding to see.
POOR BABY THANKS TO PEOPLE LIKE YOUR SELF FOR SAVING HIM GOOD JOB FROM LOUISIANA USA
The work the rangers do is amazin....beyond words
Very nice to see the ranger caring so much for this little one. I'm very impressed with his professionalism at the time and caring for the infant. The baby was very comfortable among them and not stressed out.
God bless the rangers and the gorillas
they are amazing animals. you guys have the dream job.
The bravery, compassion, and gentleness of these guards is astonishing. They are all heroes!
That ranger is very awesome, nice person.
These rangers are amazing people!
It's hard to watch the faces of these animals knowing what they experienced.
Thanks for caring..bless your heart ❤
Thanks too all the Rangers that rescue and put themselves in danger for the world's defenseless primates!!!
Some of the bravest people on this tiny planet.
Thank you for saving the baby
This is happening now in our lifetime .. an entire species being wiped out !! Please give these rescue centers your support .. they are the Gorillas only lifeline.
Thank you very much for your hard work and dedication. I am happy to donate once again and help you reach your goals
Great save. He/She's absolutely beautiful. Would love to hold the baby in my arms.
Curious and a cutie pie. Thanks for the update and the saving of this beautiful baby.
Precious angel, so sad that this baby has to be motherless. Cruel
Thank goodness for people like this, without them this world would be in a much worse state than it already is.
its amazing how similar a baby gorilla's interactions are with it's surroundings to a human baby. Awesome story, best of luck to the little guy. Thank you for posting!
Thank you Virunga National Park Rangers!! That sweet little baby gorilla. He has such a worried look in his eyes. Who knows what horrible scene he witnessed before he was stolen from his Mom.

He wasn't just stolen. Poachers kill family groups to get the babies. He watched his family die.
Poor little fellow. What wonderful work these human heroes are doing for our distant cousins!
God bless you dear gorilla baby shamavu. You are in safe and protected hands. Your future is not uncertain, your caretakers are safe to take care ff you little baby. Stay blessed stay safe stay happy. God bless you all caretakers.
I hope these brave Rangers know how many people around the world are thankful for their work. Ranger Shamavus seems to be very dedicated as his interactions with the baby gorilla were very sweet. Is it assumed that if the baby has been poached, the mother gorilla was killed?
Agradecidos felicitamos por tan noble trabajo
Bravo messieurs
Both the poachers and those who are the TRUE buyers need to face justice--- legal AND spiritual.
I salute you, sirs. Thank you for your compassion and your courage. These people that do this are horrible, scumbag people( that's questionable ). Thank you all so much from Texas.
He is not sure what is going on but when he gets good care he will realize he is being lov
Blessings on both Shamavus.
Oh meu Deus, me dá uma dor no coração de ver esses bichinhos sofrerem tanto nas mãos de homem mau ..Os gorilas não são agressivos como pintam uma imagem deles...Eles apesar de ter esse porte grande, eles são gentis e ama as pessoas...Amo tanto os gorilas...😭😭
My heart breaks watching these. These are not trophies. We are descendants of these miraculous creatures. It's like kidnapping and killing humans. Look at their eyes, so incredibly innocent.

Anytime we think of animals as all the others, and ourselves as not animals I hope this video is available all around the world in every home and in school for children and too many insensitive adults to watch often. This little baby was so frightened, just like little human babies who don't want you to touch them and pull their arms to their little chests. This was a very frightened little baby, and whoever the poachers were, may they spend many decades behind bars looking out and not free, the same way the baby was. I wonder what they did to her mama
what a beautiful and magnificent creature!
These Rangers are loving human beings. They have courage I feel only they can have. Special spiritual lives. Protecting the sanctuary from cruel poachers and fighting rebels
I would give anything to hold that baby!!
Hats off.
Very lucky escape.
Such a sweet little guy!!!!!
OMG, what a beaut! Gorgeous, gorgeous creature.
Really cute but the baby look anxious
Great job everyone!
He his adorable!
OMG, water is leaking profusely from my eyes~~~
I just fell in love
Really breaks my heart to see things like this going on World better be watching before will never see animals like this
So human like. This is our distant cousins.
It's so cute, why human so selfish and cruel
Love these poor animals the fuck alone.
Awww I hate that,poachers are the worst humans on earth. The baby will live with other orphans,at least he will be safe and well cared for,but never be free🦍🌍💋
This really makes my heart hurt. I've read that poachers will likely have to kill numerous adult gorillas from 1 family in order to steal one baby as they will all fight to the death to keep their young from being stolen. If this is true, can you imagine the horror this little guy witnessed, as he's being ripped from his dead mother's bloody arms so that these disgusting people can sell him? I will never understand why we humans feel the need to destroy everything on this beautiful planet. We're supposed to cohabitate but instead we kill, destroy & steal to the point that we are pushing so many beautiful creatures, such as this little guy, straight into extinction. Thank God for people like Mr. Shamavu. I hope he and his friends can save all of the endangered apes. Maybe someday someone can save us humans, too, from ourselves. 😢
Poor baby , it probably saw its mom get killed. That's what it needs cuddle and petting.
man oh man,kudos to the ranger,that little goofball already trust the ranger,dont tell me we the people are not connected with the Great Apes
So cute baby gorillas very good they are with kind people who care for them Bless you all good video thank you for your hard work .
His mother must be killed. Thank you for saving the baby. His eyes looked so sad!
Good idea - - blessings to both!
