This Mum Gorilla Is Captured Tenderly Cradling Her Newborn Baby 1 Year After Losing Her First Child

The moment when you see your baby for the first time is so precious. You may burst into tears because of happiness. Parenting is not an easy process but you can learn a lot from that. We aren’t born parents but we can learn to be parents – the friends and companions of our children during their growth. Humans love their children and the animals also pamper their babies. Motherhood is always pure and priceless.

Sadly, Kala's first baby, who was born last September, left her when it was younger than just one week old. The mother gorilla underwent an emergency cesarean section, as she had a low-lying placenta that blocked the birth canal, thus preventing the baby from being born naturally. Even though the zookeepers and vets closed the zoo's Gorilla House to give the mother and her baby some needed time and space to bond, the baby failed to thrive. Kala went through an emergency cesarean section; however, the baby couldn't stay with its mom for more than a few hours. Luckily, this pregnancy was a happy one and the mother and her baby are thriving.
