While gorillas have not had the best image in the news these days, this video might change your mind. A 2-year-old girl who visits the zoo is shown playing "Patty Cake" with a baby gorilla who stays safely behind a glass enclosure. The sight is just adorable!
Inside Edition reports that the baby gorilla is named Gus who is just 5 months old. He's part of a critically endangered species and he's the first of his kind to be born at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas. Like any growing baby, Gus is curious about what's around him and tries to explore as much as he can about his surroundings. This explains why he was eager to engage the toddler in a game of Patty Cake.
Watch the touching moment between Gus and the 2-year-old girl in the video below.
