Toddler cuddles with gorillas: Would you let your child play with gorillas?
Check out this video of an 18-month-old child named Tansy playing with gorillas in England.
The baby's father is Damian Aspinall, who heads a foundation dedicated to conservation and sending gorillas back into the wild.
Read more about Aspinall here.
In the video, the toddler cuddles with the gorillas and is carried around by them.
The child is fine. In fact, she is now 23 years old.
So why is Aspinall releasing this video now, more than two decades after it was made? He wants the world to know how gentle the creatures are and raise money for conservation efforts, according to the CBS video.
What is your reaction to this video? Would you let your child play with gorillas?
