She Grows Up With Gorillas. 12 Years Later When They’re Reunited? This Left Me Speechless!

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 300

The nonprofit Tansy Aspinall was launched among the gorillas at Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent, England. One little girl helped with everyday activities in the family’s charity, The Aspinall Foundation, working to rehabilitate gorillas who had been in captivity. The nonprofit organization’s goal is to be able to release the gorillas back into their native habitat in West Africa.

12 years ago, they released two gorillas, Bimms and Djalta, who were born in an Animal Park in Kent, as part of a program to reintroduce gorillas back to their natural environment. In 2014, Tansy and her dad Damian traveled to Gabon where they’d been released, to see if they could find their old friends.

It’s just amazing to watch both Djalta and Bimms respond to Damian’s voice. And then, the way they react to Tansy, who was just a toddler when they first met? This left me absolutely speechless. Watch for yourself below…

This was the most moving thing I’ve seen in a long time! Just incredible that they recognized each other after all those years. Please pass this along to your friends and family so that more people can also experience this magical moment!

    Such inspiration for others to witness the love, the care ,the friendship animals offer humans. I believe animals forgive people for wrong doings, but they don’t forget. These gorillas were thankful for the humans that helped them years ago, and they will never forget the earned respect they all recieved from one another. What a beautiful video.
