This beautiful gorilla, named Jelani, is a Western Lowlands Gorilla. This species is classified as “critically endangered” and Jelani and some of his family are being cared for at the 4 acre gorilla sanctuary at the Louisville Zoo, where zookeepers hope to help move this species off the endangered list. Despite they’re excellent treatment, keepers noticed that Jelani had been acting very sad and lonely as of late, when this visitor decided to share with Jelani some of his pictures. Jelani’s reaction to this much needed interaction is incredibly sweet!
