In 1996, an unidentified 8-year-old boy slipped away from his mother, climbed over a barrier, and fell into the Gorilla Enclosure.
Due to the 20 ft fall, the boy broke his hand and suffered a deep laceration to his face. Seven gorillas inhabited the enclosure. Gorillas are known to be fiercely territorial animals.
They will fight to the death to defend their families. However, one of the gorillas, called Binti Jua, meaning “daughter of sunshine” went over to the boy and cradled him in her arms, all while her own young child was on her back.
She then went over to the edge of the enclosure and waited for the zookeepers to come and collect the child.
Binti handed the child over peacefully before returning to the rest of the gorillas. Binti received worldwide praise and received regular treats for the next few weeks.
The boy and the mother have never been identified, but the boy did stay in a hospital for 4 days.
Animal behavioral experts claim Binti used her maternal instincts to look after the child. This may have been influenced by the fact that she had her own baby Gorilla with her at the time.
For those yang nak tau, the school is MCKK.
The bullies and cronies are so arrogant sampai boleh komen: "kita tengok boleh menang ke lawan kroni MCKK.”
PENGETUA, what are you doing swiping this under the carpet?
Make you a complicit in this case.
Shame on you. No integrity.
Fallen leaves are very beneficial to your soil, trees and plants, and the ecosystem of your backyard. By bagging them up and hauling them away, you are removing a valuable natural resource from your yard. https://t.co/Pe1RUMWNz5
Today it is New York City’s turn to flood. When will it be your turn? Or will you roast to death in a heatwave? Or simply starve as prices for essentials skyrocket? It is time to throw #necrocapitalism in the dumpster. Welcome to our #ClimateCatastrophe
Just last week, over 75,000 people marched in the streets of New York to demand climate action. Those streets are now flooded. @GovKathyHochul declared a state of emergency as over 8.5 million people were placed under flash flood warnings.
It costs more to do nothing.
I chaired the first Climate Change Consultation Panel consisting of NGOs in Kuala Lumpur today. This is an effort to institutionalise meaningful civil society engagement on climate change.

BREAKING: Our new investigation with @GuardianUS reveals nearly 80% of the top 50 voluntary carbon credit projects are likely junk.
And instead of addressing the climate crisis, these offsets may fuel further emissions and cause harm. #FalseSolutions https://t.co/Nnvpyhug9n
This solar energy farm in Australia is made up of more than 1 million solar panels. It will produce enough energy to power over 200,000 households.
We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables
Death by a thousand cuts as the planet heats and places that produce food… stop being able to produce food. And this is happening or will happen at many places across the world #ClimateCatastrophe
