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 that 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, named Koola.
I just said to Joe Gomez What's that in your pocket, Joe? He said Ohhh that's Haaland. Then he asked me What was in my pocket? I said Ohh that's Foden. It was so funny.
@Iversma Jeg tror det er viktig med en strukturert person som kan formidle budskapet om at poker er mye mer enn en samling av degenererte gamblere som spiller for mye mer enn hva de har råd til. Så min stemme går til Tobias 🙂
@JROlsen77 1/2 Først av alt så vil jeg si at det er trist å høre at du har fått tilbakefall. Jeg hadde en stefar som fikk kreft og etterhvert som det utviklet seg så spurte moren min om legene på Bodø Sykehus ikke kunne ringe til Tromsø - hvor han hadde vært tidligere.
