Ape Action Africa is a non-profit that is dedicated to the conservation of endangered gorillas, monkeys and chimpanzees, writes kingdomstv.

Everyday, the caregivers check all 300 of the residents, this is routine and it usually yields routine results. But as it turns out, sometimes these ape inhabitants find new ways of surprising these experienced caregivers.

One day, a caregiver found Bobo, a Western Lowland gorilla who was rescued in 1996 with an expected new friend.

“On his morning checks, our gorilla caregiver discovered Bobo cradling a young, wild bush baby. The bush baby showed no fear of Bobo, moving around his body and spending time hopping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo.”

This is especially unusual as Bobo is the dominant male of his group, he has fought off attempts to take his top spot from other ferocious gorillas.

And it turns out that this giant has a gentle side to him too.

“Bush babies are usually nocturnal, so it is very rare to see one during the day. We have never witnessed a wild primate interacting with a rescued one at Mefou Sanctuary.”

Watch them together:

“The bush baby showed no fear of Bobo — moving around his body and spending time hopping around in an open grassy area, before choosing to return to Bobo.”

Bobo’s gang were also curious to see what was happening.

“Bobo’s group-mates were curious about the bush baby and hoped that he might share it with them, but Bobo kept the bush baby to himself.”

They spent a whole two hours together before Bobo returned his new mate to some trees where the bush baby disappeared.

Ape Action Africa is the largest conservation project of its kind in Africa with more than 300 primates in its care.

Many of these animals come to the sanctuary as orphans caused by the illegal pet and bushmeat trades. To learn more about their fight and to donate to the cause, click here.

What five characteristics do all animals have in common?

In the following slides, we’ll explore the basic characteristics shared by all (or at least most) animals, from snails and zebras to mongooses and sea anemones: multicellularity, eukaryotic cell structure, specialized tissues, sexual reproduction, a blastula stage of development, motility, heterotrophy and possession …

What characteristics do all animals have in common quizlet?

The six characteristics that all organisms in the animal kingdom share are: they are multicellular, almost all can move, their cells have no cell wall, they have to hunt for their own food (consumers), they are eukaryotic, reproduce sexually-when two cells join to form off spring and their cells lack chloroplasts.

What 4 characteristics do all animals share?

Most animals share these characteristics: sensory organs, movement, and internal digestion. All of them are illustrated in Figure below. Animals can detect environmental stimuli, such as light, sound, and touch. Stimuli are detected by sensory nerve cells.

What are the 7 characteristics of all animals?

These are the seven characteristics of living organisms.

1 Nutrition. Living things take in materials from their surroundings that they use for growth or to provide energy.
2 Respiration.
3 Movement.
4 Excretion.
5 Growth.
6 Reproduction.
7 Sensitivity.

What are the 6 characteristics common to all animals?

They are as follows:

All animals are made up of cells that do not have cell walls.
All animals are multicellular organisms.
Most animals reproduce sexually.
All animals are capable of self-propelled motion at some point in their lives.
All animals are heterotrophic and must consume other organisms for energy.

What protein do all animals have in common?

The exctracellular protein collagen (making the most abundant extracellular protein in animals) which is required in multicellular organisms to keep the cells together, which is exclusive to animals. Most enzymes responsible for metabolic pathways.

What are the 3 characteristics of animals?

Characteristics of Animals

Animals are multicellular organisms.
Animals are eukaryotic.
Animals are heterotrophic.
Animals are generally motile.
Animals possess specialized sensory organs such as eyes, ears, nose, skin, and tongue.
Animals reproduce sexually.

What are the basic characteristics of all animals?

What do all animals have in common with each other?

Sexual reproduction is another characteristic shared by most, but not all, animals. Regardless of species, all animals share multicellularity, which means their bodies consist of multiple cells. This sets animals apart from organisms, such as single-celled algae, fungi, bacteria and other basic life forms.

What do plants and animals have in common?

Most plants are also multicellular, so although this is a characteristic shared by all animals, it is not one unique to animals.Every animal on the planet is a eukaryote. A eukaryote is an organism that consists of cells that have membrane-bound nuclei and organelles.

What are the characteristics of the animal kingdom?

All animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and most animals have complex tissue structure with differentiated and specialized tissue. Animals are heterotrophs; they must consume living or dead organisms since they cannot synthesize their own food and can be carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or parasites.
