These are the tragic photos of
a gorilla called Shira Frankfurt Zoo in Germany who lost her child only 1
week after its birth. The Gorilla could be seen walking frantically
through her cage at, desperate for her dead baby to wake up.
Grief is written all over her face as she carries her, cuddles her and sometimes shakes her.
But her baby died after a week and
she doesn't understand why. At night she lays the dead gorilla across
her stomach and wakes up with the same perplexed look on her face when
her baby doesn't stir.
Eventually, she let go of the corpse of her baby and the zookeepers took the body for autopsy.
Zoo director Prof. Manfred Niekisch
said; 'Last Thursday she was OK in the morning but in the afternoon she
suddenly and without warning died. We have as yet no idea what caused
it.'
