Knoxville Zoo’s Mother Gorilla Teaching Her Baby To Stand Is So Full of Love

Some moments don’t need narration to make an impact. In a tender clip from Zoo Knoxville, a mother gorilla named Kumi gently supports her baby son as he figures out how to stand on his own two legs.

With steady hands and calm patience, Kumi helps him balance, guiding him upright in a way that feels deeply familiar to anyone who’s ever watched a parent teach a child something new. It’s quiet, powerful, and filled with unmistakable love. Clips like these always bring tears to my eyes, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
