EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo, we see a precious moment between a Western Lowland Gorilla baby named Mjukuu and its mother, Mbeli. Born in October of the previous year, Mjukuu confidently rides on the back of its protective mother as they explore their enclosure at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. The bond between mother and baby is evident in this image captured by photographer David Gray. The tenderness with which Mbeli carries her young one showcases the strong maternal instincts that exist within these magnificent creatures. As they navigate their surroundings together, it is clear that Mjukuu feels safe and secure under the watchful eye of its doting parent. This photograph also holds significance beyond just this adorable duo. It was taken on May 19,2015 - six days after another gorilla baby was born at Taronga Zoo. This new arrival marks the second offspring sired by Kibali, the zoo's Silverback who arrived from France in 2012. The growing gorilla family brings joy to both visitors and caretakers alike. Through this image, we are reminded of the beauty and wonder found within our natural world. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible animals and their habitats for future generations to enjoy.
