Mother Gorilla Kissing And Cradling Her Newborn Baby Is Adorable (Video)

As soon as a gorilla is born, the mother's instincts kick in and she will begin to groom the baby, Jack Hannam Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo told PEOPLE. It can look a lot like human kissing! But, it looks like she is actually using her lips to groom the baby and likely did it over the baby's whole body. Gorillas can be amazing, attentive parents and watching these babies grow has been a highlight of my career.
