After the outpouring of love, Kate posted another video from the interaction. This time, she showed the aftermath of the loving moment.
The gorilla’s baby brother approached the glass and appeared a bit jealous of the newborn.
“Incoming! The baby of the troop is here, and he has some feelings about another baby getting attention from me and her big sis!” Kate captioned the video.
She also jokingly added, “Someone’s not the littlest baby in my world anymore…”
TikTokers everywhere got a sweet glimpse into their gorilla familial dynamic and learned just how similar the emotions of gorillas are to humans.
“This is such a sibling reaction to have! She is like, ‘Okay, relax already,’ and just swipes the baby away. Her face is so over it, haha,” one user said.
“Sibling rivalry at its finest,” another user joked.
Kate’s videos did not stop there, though. She wanted her TikTok followers to know that she loves working with gorillas so much that her home decor is even inspired by it.
She posted a third TikTok following the popular trend “things in our house that just make sense,” but added, “when you work with gorillas.”
Kate then showed a wall lined with paintings made by gorillas, a gold gorilla statue, her books on primates and animal behavior, a custom-made gorilla bookshelf for her newborn, primate-inspired baby toys, and more.
“Can you tell that I love gorillas?” Kate asked her TikTok followers.
