Gana is a female gorilla living in a zoo in Muenster, north of Germany. Her three-month-old son Claudio is dead, but she doesn’t seem to understand it.
She has been staring at the corpse in shock and bewilderment, unable to accept that he is dead.
Initially puzzled, Gana stared at the body, bewildered, then started stroking the baby to try and bring it back to life.
She tried gently placing him on her back and slowly walking around the compound, stopping to look if he had returned to life every few paces.
Yesterday, zookeepers were still unable to get to the body of Claudio, because Gana is fiercely guarding over him.
Gana, I feel for you.
