Each morning at Ape Action Africa’s Mefou Primate Sanctuary, caregivers check-in on the animals to see how they’re doing. And there are a lot of animals to check. The sanctuary cares for over 300 rescued animals. In August, the caregivers had gone to check up on the gorillas. A silverback gorilla named Bobo had found something out of the ordinary. Bobo, western lowland gorilla had arrived at the sanctuary in 1994. Sadly, his mother was killed by poachers and he was left vulnerable in the wild. Bobo had only been 2-years old. Now, over two decades later, he is a pack leader at the sanctuary in Cameroon.
Though he is an alpha-male, Bobo shows he can be a gentle giant of his forest domain. The morning carers went to look in on the gorillas, they couldn’t believe their eyes. Bobo had made a new friend in a tiny creature he found in the forest. They watched on as Bobo bonds with a bush baby that he found. He cradles the creature in his hand, clearly showing he wants to keep this adorable little creature safe.
“Our silverback gorilla Bobo made a surprising new friend this week — a wild bush baby! Caregivers discovered him cradling the tiny primate during their morning checks. They were amazed to see him handling it with the utmost care.”
According to Elissa O’Sullivan, the bush baby most likely lived somewhere inside the gorilla’s enclosure. “The bush baby showed no fear of Bobo — moving around his body and spending time hopping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo.”
Soon, the other gorilla’s became more curious, wanting to meet Bobo’s new friend. “Bobo’s group-mates were desperately curious, particularly his favourite female Avishag. But he kept them all at a distance, making sure that no one disturbed his new friend.” O’Sullivan stated.
The sanctuary says, “Bush babies are usually nocturnal. So it is very rare to see one, and even rarer to witness this kind of interaction. The little bushbaby was happy to play in Bobo’s arms. Hopping off to explore the grass nearby, before returning to Bobo’s hand.”
Bobo and the bush baby played and bonded together for almost 2 hours. When they were done playing, Bobo – moving on two legs like a human – put his tiny friend back in the forest. The amazing, gentle giant that is Bobo proves that there really is kindness in the world. Watch how he interacts with this adorable little creature below!

This is adorable, sweet, and hilarious all at the same time! We can’t really describe what it is that happens in this video, you really need to see it for yourself. Trust us, it’s going to be the best thirty seconds of your day. We’ll give you just a little bit of background, a tease. Two little kittens are fighting, and then their mother comes to separate them, but the way she goes about separating them is really special! We’ve never seen a cat do that before!
Snickers (aka Stinkers) the Porcupine loves to play and get attention. The large, quill-covered animal lives at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, which adopted Snickers after someone had been keeping him as a pet. 
A group of surfers came to the aid of a baby pilot whale, after the animal became stuck in the mouth of a river at a beach in Costa Rica during low tide.
