Tiny Tansy Aspinall Meets The Gorillas
The Aspinall Foundation's flagship project remains the work we do to protect gorillas in the neighbouring countries of Congo and Gabon. The charity has released over 40 confiscated wild born gorillas, reintroduced 9 gorillas, born at the wild animal parks in Kent, back into the wild and celebrated 20 births since the projects were first established.

Imagine. - "Tansy, what was your first pet when you were little?” - "A gorilla"

This footage is adorable. I find it even more amazing that Tansy was being so gentle with the gorillas when she would pet them. It's like she instinctively knew she had to be gentle with them despite being 18 months old.

Lol, I think the best part in the whole video is when the gorilla actually picks Tansy up, the fond but resigned amusement of babysitters and parents dealing with kids is universal it seems.

This man is amazing and awesome. God bless him for the work that he does with these beautiful animals.

There's very interesting research going on in the UK about the ways in which great apes communicate compared to humans. They found that there are over 100 'signs' used in great apes to communicate specific messages. More astounding, they found that human toddlers (1-3 years old) used many of the same signs and gestures instinctively to communicate before speech development. It's not surprising that toddlers and great apes can understand each other so well, in a sense they 'speak' each other's language!

Wonderful to teach your child at a young age to love and respect these wonderful beings....bless you !

Absolutely beautiful. It is fantastic that Damien is following on the work from his father, the great John Aspinall.

Wow that was just amazing to watch how gentle where the gorillas with her❤❤. 🦍🦍

So beautiful to see the lovely interaction between human and gorilla. Not much difference at all really. I wish the world could be like this everywhere....always.
-
did you see any threat there? no, the kid was nearly shoving her hand in the gorilla's ear and it did not do anything hostile what so ever, so before you comment next time you ignorant person why don't you look more into the topic of gorilla's and their behaviour.

This is adorable. The child doesn't look in any danger; I'm sure trained adults were there to monitor this taping. I fully support this video; there's probably a lot we can't see and the child AND gorillas look perfectly content and safe. I hope they get all the support they need.

This reminds me of that viral video where the child falls into the gorilla pit of a zoo injuring himself and the gorilla comes over and trys to console him. Sweet video.

This footage reminds me baby’s day out
-
With images like this, humans seem to belong to this planet.....almost.....
-
Absolutely amazing images. I salute you Damien Aspinall!

Actually, the man, Damian Aspinall, was apart from those gorillas for 5 years. The child in the video is his daughter Tansy. Still, a warm reunion and I believe the daughter reunites with them as well.
