Intimidating Giants
PexelsGorillas can be intimidating because of their size. At the same time, they’re also known for being strong and fierce when threatened.
But They Can Be Gentle Too
Facebook, Ape Action AfricaDespite his huge build, Bobo’s caretakers saw his soft side when he came across a tiny primate called bush baby.
A Rare Sight

He’s Gentle With The Little One
Facebook, Ape Action AfricaElissa also said, “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.”
He Doesn’t Share
Facebook, Ape Action AfricaThe other gorillas were curious about the bush baby. They were checking to see if Bobo might share the tiny creature with them, but the giant gorilla kept the bush baby to himself.
Playtime’s Over
Facebook, Ape Action AfricaThe caretakers said that Bobo and the bush baby spent over 2 hours together until Bobo returned the tiny creature to a tree before scampering away.
