A touching video showing the very human reaction of a chimpanzee mother who finds her baby following undergoing a cesarean section has gone viral.
The mother, Mahale, had complications during the birth of her little one.
The team of veterinarians at Sedgwick County Zoo in Kansas had to perform an emergency caesarean to save the baby.
The newborn was placed on life support for 48 hours, while the mother was returned to her habitat.
After 48 hours, the little chimpanzee’s state of health was good enough for him to be reunited with his mother.
The emotional moment was captured by cameras.
When the mother enters her cage, she is not sure what is on the ground in the middle of the space.
But when a little arm pops up, she runs up and grabs the little ball, then hugs it tenderly.
