This is the heartwarming moment a zoo visitor shows her newborn baby to a mother gorilla who is fascinated by the human offspring.
The touching encounter occurred when Emmily Austin from Jefferson, Maine, sat down next to the gorilla enclosure at Franklin Park Zoo in Boston with her five-week-old son Canyon.
Footage filmed by Emmily s husband Michael shows Kiki the gorilla pressing her face up to the enclosure window to get a closer look at Canyon.
The 39-year-old western lowland gorilla gave birth to her fifth baby in October, her first son, named Pablo.
