In 1996, Binti Jua, an 8-year-old female Western lowland gorilla, tended to a 3-year-old boy who had fallen into her enclosure at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois.
On August 16, 1996, Binti Jua, who was eight years old at the time, witnessed a three-year-old boy climbing the wall around the gorilla exhibit. The boy fell 24 feet (7.3 m) into the gorilla enclosure below, sustaining a broken hand and a large gash on the side of his face.
Despite the screams of onlookers, Binti walked towards the unconscious boy. She cradled him and gently laid him down upon hearing her shift door open to her downstairs enclosure. Throughout the incident, her 17-month-old baby, Koola, clung to her back. The boy spent four days in the hospital and made a full recovery.
Binti gained international media attention as a result of this incident. Following the event, she received special treats and food from zoo personnel, as well as significant attention from visitors for many months.
At the age of 35, Binti Jua is still alive today. She has since become a grandmother to three granddaughters and a great-grandson.

Three months before his death, Robin Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. But an autopsy later showed that he actually had Lewy body dementia - a devastating brain disease that shares characteristics with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Experts were stunned by how much the disease had ravaged his brain. One doctor said, 'This was about as devastating a form of Lewy body dementia as I had ever seen. It really amazed me that Robin could walk or move at all.'"
I didn’t even know this but Princess Anne refuses security altogether. And she was nearly kidnapped and pretty much fought back. They have to force security on her when she does royal engagements! And Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are all over everywhere and neither of them have security! If Harry thinks he needs 24/7 security HE CAN PAY FOR IT! There’s no reason he should have government funded security when he doesn’t work for the monarchy. #PrinceHarryExposed
Prince Harry, in his current state, bears the mark of a shattered individual, bearing the scars both internally & externally. His emotional & mental growth appear to have been arrested at the tender age of twelve, a pivotal point in his life when he suffered the grievous loss of his beloved mother, Diana. This tragic event has left him profoundly insecure, yearning desperately for affection & acceptance. Alas, such vulnerability makes him a prime target for the insidious machinations of a nefarious, self-absorbed sociopath driven by an insatiable hunger for fame, wealth, & power.
Dear AH trolls,
Before you started your idiocy, I would watch a Depp movie on occasion, but wasn't by any means a stan.
Then, after he won, you STILL wouldn't leave him alone! So I began watching his whole damn library and became a fan!
Every time you degrade him, I watch a film of his to spite you, his haters!
In closing, thanks for the free advertising! Now if you would excuse me I have about an hour before work and I'm going to put on #CrockofGold

This is Keanu Reeves.
He was abandoned by his father
at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers.
He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident.
His daughter died at birth.
His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and often seen riding a subway in NYC When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants,
one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account. In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from "The Matrix" to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones who are willing to help others who need it as they no what true pain and hurt feels like.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: to be real.
Keanu Reeves. The One ❤️
A year ago today, Travis McGivern, Johnny Depp’s security, described the events he witnessed on March 23, 2015
Amber Heard:
—Threw objects at Johnny
—SPIT on him
—Punched him in the face
2 weeks after she severed Johnny’s finger…instead of allowing him to rest & heal…Amber was sleep-depriving & physically assaulting him.
#AmberHeardIsAnAbuser
malcom explaining to johnny for the millionth time how they get into the car WITHOUT signing autographs bc they probably need to go and they are already late as always:
johnny: *nodding* “yes yes😬”
Omg how come nobody captured this during the trial!!! Pay close attention to what he says about Amber Heard.
This will definitely ruin Johnny Depp.
I feel so dumb supporting him, this is disgusting
