Imagine this: you’re at the zoo with your toddler, expecting nothing more than a day filled with animal sights and sounds.
But what if your little one ends up making an unexpected friend?
That’s precisely what happened to Isaiah and his parents during their visit to the Columbus Zoo.
They thought it would be just another day of watching animals, but little did they know, Isaiah was about to form a connection with a baby gorilla named Kamoli.
He was probably just as curious about the visitors as they were about him.
Then, along came Isaiah, a pint-sized bundle of energy, ready to make a new friend.
“He was just looking at the gorillas, and we said to him, ‘Isaiah, what do the gorillas do?’ and he started pounding his chest,” Isaiah’s mom, Sherry Chute, shared with The Columbia Dispatch.
This simple, innocent action was the spark that ignited a friendship. Kamoli was intrigued.
