EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming image, Kijivu, a western lowland gorilla, cradles her precious newborn baby in her strong and protective arms. Taken at Prague's zoo on April 24,2010, the photograph captures the tender bond between mother and child in the animal kingdom. At 16 years old, Kijivu is an experienced mother who has previously given birth to two offspring. Her firstborn was Moja, a female born in December 2004, followed by Tatu, a male born in spring of 2007. This latest addition to their family brings joy and excitement to both Kijivu and the staff at Prague Zoo. The close-up shot showcases the incredible detail of these magnificent creatures - from their expressive eyes to their gentle touch. The cuddle between mother and child reveals an intimate connection that mirrors human affection. This picture not only highlights the beauty of nature but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect wildlife species like gorillas. With their habitats under threat due to deforestation and poaching, it becomes crucial for us to appreciate these majestic animals while actively working towards conservation efforts. David W Cerny's skillful capture allows us a glimpse into this touching moment shared by Kijivu and her newborn baby – an image that resonates with tenderness and reminds us of the importance of preserving our natural world for generations to come.
