Gorilla mums

Two first-time mothers care for their babies in Limbe, Cameroon. Both were orphaned as infants when their parents were killed for bushmeat, then sold into the animal trade; fortunately they were then rescued and cared for by the dedicated staff of the Limbe Wildlife Centre. The first mum is called Brighter and her baby is Balinga (male); the second is Akiba with her female baby Atinbi.
