A little boy was saved by a gorilla after falling in the cage of the gorilla. I actually found this looking for a story that happened here recently, an infant fell in a cage and a female gorilla picked the child up and cradled it untill the park personal came and got the child, it said that before handing the child over the gorilla looked down and craddled it a little more before handing the child over. You cant tell me this isnt a sign of evolution if anything. Its so sweet. heres a link about the boy

I have heard of these kinds of stories before wher gorillas have saved children that have fallen it is so sweet. I am surprised the gorillas will hand the children back and not want to keep them to protect them.

yes it is i just watched another video of a kid falling into a gorilla cage and the gorillas came and looked at the kid and walked away, the kid regained consious and then started crying so a few man came down to help, one of the gorillas was a little POed and just kept running around the man and making sure they stayed in the corner they were in. So im guessing it doesnt happen all the time

That's really nice what the gorilla did. The gorilla knows that the child has a mother that is probably worried just like that gorilla probably had a child that it protects. I like to hear about stuff like this because it shows us that we as humans aren't the only ones who are smart and can understand.

Well when you put it I'll respond because I like to learn things about this. Things like this are really good to get out there to the world so that everyone can know we aren't the only ones. It'll be weird if gorillas start doing things that we couldn't think they could do.

I remember seeing this on the news when it happened! It moves me as much now as it did then! How can people say that these wonderful apes have no real emotions? How can people hunt them and butcher them for money? I think this story says more about these amazing creatures than we ever could! xxx

yes it does, i was watching a show last night, which im going to post about, on discovery channel telling us there is so much more about apes that we dont understand yet, and one guy says that Humans think we are the smartest creatures on this world, which is most likely true, but we as humans would never survive out in the jungle like the apes do. (i have said this to my fiance before in differant words) What i told my fiance once is that we think we are getting smarter and smarter, but in some ways we are getting dumber and dumber, i said that we could never survive in the world our ancestors survived in, because we as humans lost that part of us.

I am too, its good to know that there is caring in some of the animals people look at as scary and mean.
