Wesley Romero+FollowGorilla mom bonds with Boston familyA heartwarming moment unfolded at Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo when Kiki, a gorilla mom, noticed a visiting mom showing off her newborn. Without hesitation, Kiki dashed off to bring her own baby, Pablo, over to the glass—almost as if she wanted to introduce him, too! The two moms, one human and one gorilla, shared a special connection through the glass, exchanging gestures and pride in their little ones. It’s incredible to see how the love for our children bridges even the wildest divides. Have you ever experienced a moment like this with animals? #Pets #Boston #FranklinParkZoo150Share
