It gives me chicken skin to see this happening. Absolutely beautiful ❤️🇬🇧

And the other watching curiously...they have such natural instincts....

Aww looks like a little human? Is the father hispanic?

@@mondayblues2561 that is wrong on so many levels !! Still . Hhhmmm 🇬🇧

I love how the other gorilla came over, almost as if checking on her.

Me, too! The quick catch was amazing! It was almost as though she didn‘t want the delivery liquids in the lovely nest.

Exactly. It was scary at first with her being up so high and on the edge but she was fantastic and had it all planned out. She quickly grabbed the baby. Daddy was nearby and came to see the little one. I hope they are wonderful parents. I cannot wait to see their lives together and hope for lots of videos. Thank you so much for the special and unique view of baby gorilla being born. Great video!!!

same here.. what a good little momma. this is just beyond beautifu,l.

That's how humans should have babies. Instead they make is lay on our back in an easy position for the doctor

@@openyoureyes3969 thats why i used a mid wife. its all about baby safety, mother safety, and mother comfort. mine even had a no talking rule, and dimmed the lights. she had soft gentle music playing. it was magical.

It's called instincts

instant love 🤎🤍🤎

Never thought that was her first baby. ♥

@@chloeshann8142 who asked you?

@@Hobbyautorin I know, she delivered like a pro!

They are not stupid.

This is a past event. Why worry about something that didn't happen already?

She likely did that on purpose. Gorillas build a nest. That's what she's done here. They likely birth in a way that keeps the mess away from the nest bc of predators. They don't understand that there won't be a predator in the zoo. She went to the edge so the fluid would go away from the nest and knew to catch him. Her actions seemed very intentional. If the fluid goes down to the next level she won't have to clean it up out of the nest. That smell is strong and predators know what it is.

@@chloeshann8142 He replied 6 months ago which means in the first month of posting the video itself while you are replying after 2 months saying this is a past event. What exactly is your point?

Ksane - that’s because nobody or anything has interfered with the process of birth. It was perfectly natural and it should be exactly the same with humans!

​@@claritadeluna6609 It's not the same, humans have way more complications thanks to the form the hips have.

@@Pixtel1 Exactly. And the increased size of our babies' heads in comparison to said hips.

@@claritadeluna6609 thank you for skipping the part where like half of the women died in child birth or shortly after. The babies were not better off either. Yes, let's all deliver our babies in the bushes! Lol

It's so crazy. we wouldn't have a clue what to do if we had to do all this alone with no one teaching you anything.

Does the momma love the baby ?

I love too how the dad checked out the baby very guietly to not disturb. Hopefully they will be a great little family.

Let them be gorillas.

@@mondayblues2561 i think the mother cherishes her helpless little baby though , see the way she kisses it ?

No let them be free in there natural habitate

I can’t believe how gorilla-like we humans are. 😉

They’re cousins to humans, so technically we are family.

Yeah... they're not stupid as you tougth... grow up

At least there was no ridiculous baby reveal like ppl do when they are expecting….

Animals do have instinct

@@chloeshann8142 Yes, I agree all animals have instincts, but not all know to follow them. Especially if they've been in captivity their whole lives where they don't have their own kind around to teach them. That's why a lot of zoos/sanctuaries have cameras that are being watched constantly when a mom is due for the baby. They want to make sure the instinct does kick in and they don't have to intervene. Especially being a mom for the first time. The OP was just commenting on how beautiful a job she did without having seen or done it before. Instincts are a major factor but they aren't everything. We humans have instincts. But even we didn't know all the viable and very important information about how to care for our babies to make them thrive without having seen it. And just going out on your own and doing it all yourself without witnessing others. I'm not arguing or starting a debate, just trying to shed some light on a subject that has some grey areas. If you've read this whole post, I appreciate it and I wish you a very safe, healthy, and amazing holiday season with your loved ones.🙏🎄🧑‍🎄🎅🎉🎊💕

@@kimmieh8419 I agree with you. Sometimes they show them videos of what they need to know if there aren’t already mothers with babies for them to learn from.

@@kimmieh8419 I think most women would figure out that they are pregnant and what to do to care for the newborn as far as feeding and keeping it warm, without being taught.

That was so beautiful when he came over, so much like us human families ❤

Exactly, and the feeling of raising your baby just stuck endlessly in a 20ft concrete room must be excruciating.

Instincts.

@@queencerseilannister3519 yes.. it’s incredible when it happens how it should.

​​@@queencerseilannister3519 Sounds like u are undermining their love and ability! Let us ignorants, delight in their amazing behavior!

That wasn't dad but rather another female.

So if assistance is needed they should just let them both die because that would be natural🙄
