TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — An adorable bonding moment between a baby gorilla and its mother was caught on camera at the Fort Worth Zoo on Wednesday.
Mom, Gracie, was seen "tickling" her son Bruno as they enjoyed playtime in their enclosure.
Fort Worth Zoo said as always, little Bruno seemed to enjoy the attention from his mom.
The 18-month-old gorilla loves to interact with many members of the troop, including 8-year-old Gus and 5-year-old Bukavu but can often be found by Mom's side, the zoo said.
In January, Fort Worth Zoo welcomed a baby gorilla, Jameela, who was born six weeks early and was delivered via emergency C-section, as the zoo's third gorilla in their 115-year history. However, Jameela has since transferred to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo to integrate the primate into their troop.
