Inside her enclosure, Calaya delivered her baby boy completely on her own. The footage captures the tender moment when this devoted mother instinctively pulls her newborn close, embracing him with gentle kisses. Her display of “humanlike” love and care has touched the hearts of millions who have watched the video online.
As humans, we share 98% of our DNA with gorillas, and moments like these highlight just how connected we truly are. Calaya’s maternal instinct and affectionate bond with her baby remind us of the universal love that transcends species.
