When we take in animals, they become extensions of our human families, like children, and their gifts to us are immeasurable.
Gorillas are such smart, kind, and gifted animals whose connections with both humans and other species are incredible to behold. There’s this little cutie who loves his bath time just as much as any baby. And these two gorillas who remembered their rescuers, embracing them upon being reunited after 12 years apart. These stories prove that gorillas hold such memories as dearly as people.
The Thivillons are a couple living in Saint-Martin-La-Plaine, France who were childless before adopting their daughter, Digit, whom they’d lived with for nearly 13 years when the below video was made. She and her brother have lived happily with the couple as their children on their animal conservation site where they all spend most of their day. At night, the family unit heads back to their home together.
You can see that Digit has a unique relationship with her human parents, and that they all care for each other like any traditional family. Her relationship with the Thivillons is truly something special to watch.
