An adorable encounter between a gorilla and a newborn baby took place in Ohio recently, and it was captured on video! Baby Noah was visiting the gorilla exhibit at the Columbus Zoo, and while being held by a parent, the baby seemed to capture one gorilla's full attention.
In the video, we see the gorilla stand right up against the glass where the newborn was being held, and it appears to be infatuated with the tiny baby.

At the beginning of the video, the gorilla and baby seemingly stick their tongues out at the same time. Later on, the baby is turned to face more toward the gorilla, who appears to plant a kiss on the glass.
Noah's parents shared the moment on TikTok in April. It has since garnered over 3 million views — and why wouldn't it?! Gorillas always seem to have special bonding moments with babies.

"That's so sweet," one person commented under the TikTok video. "They're more human then you think. ."
Someone else noted, "They are very protective of babies. ❤."
Another user wrote: "Gorillas are such beautiful intelligent creatures. I hate to see them at zoos confined like that. It’s so mean."
