        Isn't she clearing the fluid away. As most animals do when they give birth not kissing although I love the gentleness of her actions in doing so😋

        One might guess that there’s an oxytocin-related feedback mechanism related to the evolution of this behavior. So in addition to clearing the airway of fluids, the action likely strengthens the mother-infant bond.

        Other animals experience the world much the way we do; they have rich emotional lives and love their children. This is not only an interesting scientific discovery, but a moral revelation. It means it is wrong to imprison them for our amusement. They don't exist for us to gawk at

        But they need to be protected from the people that are out to capture them or kill them because they are worth more dead then alive 😭😭😭

        Breeding animals who will be destined to live a life of deprivation in captivity does nothing to aid their counterparts in the wild, who do indeed face very real threats from poaching and habitat loss.

        But breeding animals to thwart extinction is a good thing! We really don’t have “zoo’s” anymore, there are sanctuaries, habitats, that treat and care for injured wildlife, and aide in the prevention of a species becoming extinct.

        Yes! The National Zoo isn't about exploitation. Their mission is conservation and education.

        Sad that the gorilla is caged in a zoo for human amusement and lot living free in the wild. Sorry, can't celebrate the birth of an animal that will live its entire life in a zoo.

        Well, while we are destroying habitats and wildlife, zoos remain pivotal to wildlife awareness and conservation efforts. I do wish zoos would create better, larger and more stimulating environments for their animals though.
