    Dalila is holding Makongo like he was her own, so protective, he will be fine with her, thank Goodness! I’m so relieved, happy & confident both Nala & Makongo will be with Dalila in the troop! When Dalila passes (due to her age now) Makongo still young will have Nala as his leader, protector & the troop as security.

    Het is VEEL BETER dat Dalila de zorg voor de kleine Makongo heeft, Nala zou er beslist niet goed genoeg voor geweest zijn. Ze is lief met Makongo, maar ze neemt hem op en laat hem het onderste boven hangen! Dus wil Makongo weer meteen weg en ze vind het heel gewoon dat Makongo op de vloer gedrukt word door die ??? En Makongo is heel blij dat hij terug is in de beschermende en liefdevolle en geduldige armen van Mama Dalila. ♥ Ik verheug me erop om te zien hoe het zal gaan als Daddy weer bij zijn zoontje mag komen die hij zolang heeft moeten missen ♥ ♥ ♥ Hopelijk blijft Dalila nog VELE JAREN gezond om voor de kleine Makongo te zorgen! ♥ ♥ ♥

      👍🏽 great comment @pinkyboose. I Agree, it seemed that MAKONGO for a moment might’ve thought that Nala was his Beloved Mom Tamidol 🌺 At first when I saw him crawL toward his sister and climb up near her ear that he was Kissing her 😂 Instead, I THEN realized that he was smelling her, taking in her Scent so as to Identify and Confirm whether or not she was indeed Tamidol. What a PRECIOUS Sweet little baby he is 🥰🦋🌸 For another second, it even Looked as if MAKONGO was trying to Latch onto Nala’a breast 😂😂 I remember how Heartily and Hungrily he used to nurse from Tamidol. It was Pure Pleasure to watch her breastfeed him 💕🥰🦋🌺🌸

      Amazing how some of these older gorillas adopt these babies and care for them. True angels, even if they are slow they still do it.
