Interspecies love works good both ways

Don’t you just love when that interspecies thing is working right & they’re not eating us & we’re not shooting them!? This is Patrick Karabaranga, a warden at a national gorilla sanctuary in Rumangabo, Democratic Republic of Congo playing with an orphaned mountain gorilla. The Virunga National Park where Mr. Karabaranga works is home to 210 mountain gorillas, approximately one quarter of the world’s population. The four orphans living in the sanctuary were rescued after their parents were killed by poachers or traffickers. (Photo by Phil Moore/AFP)
