Primates and Their Young

It can be breath-taking to see primates like gorillas and chimpanzees with their young. Many collections of nature stock footage contain candid photos of these species. To see how their babies cling to them like our own children cling to us is enough to make me cry (I’ve been known to cry during long distance commercials, so take it with a grain of salt). The mothers in this images cradle their young, just like us. They scold their young, just like us. They coddle and coo over their young, just like us! Yes, they are indeed some of the most heart warming images you can find.
