A heartwarming moment between a baby gorilla and its father has been captured on camera at a zoo at an unknown location. Shared by Indian Forest Services Officer Susanta Nanda, the adorable video shows the baby gorilla tentatively approaching its father, who is seen sitting on the ground, looking up at the little one with curiosity. The baby gorilla seems equally fascinated by its father and begins to reach out a tiny hand to touch his face. The father gorilla, being very careful, allows the baby to explore his features and even leans his head forward to give the baby better access.
