Brookfield Zoo NYC - Eat Shit And Die - 11-09-2012
Binti Jua is a western lowland gorilla female in the Brookfield Zoo, in Brookfield, Illinois. Binti is most well known for an incident which occurred on August 16, 1996, when she was eight years old.
A three-year old boy climbed the wall around her zoo enclosure and fell 18 feet onto concrete below, rendering him unconscious with a broken hand and a vicious gash on the side of his face.
Binti walked to the boy’s side while helpless spectators screamed, certain the gorilla would harm the child. Another larger female gorilla approached, and Binti growled.
Binti picked up the child, cradling him with her right arm as she did her own infant, gave him a few pats on the back, and carried him 18 meters (59 ft) to an access entrance, so that zoo personnel could retrieve him. Her 17-month-old baby, Koola, clutched her back throughout the incident. The boy spent four days in the hospital and recovered fully.

I've watched documentaries about gorillas, they have so many human characteristics. I watched one mourn her dead baby, it was so pitiful. Wah.

Well we evolve from them'ish, It's understandable we have some matching traits.

My husband was working at our local zoo and he was having a conversation with the vet in their offices and they got to talking about gorillas and monkeys. The vet told him when they bring them in for operations/exams the main thing they tell everyone is keep away from their hands and their mouths. Even when they are under they still have involuntary movements and if they get a hold of your hand/finger and squeeze....crushed. They are VERY dangerous animals, which is why it's nice to see some sweet, kind situations. Bad thing is you never know how they're going to act.

Kwisha. I don't know much about his story but he's been at our zoo for as long as I can remember.
RE: Brookfield Zoo NYC - Eat Shit And Die - 11-09-2012
Your zoo? or your local zoo?
RE: Brookfield Zoo NYC - RaisingAPrince - 11-09-2012
Our local zoo, although I'm there often enough I could call it my own!
