#theres just something so sweet about kids loving unconventional animals and just animals in general

[cryptidjeepers]

Guys i cant stop thinking about when i went to the zoo last month and there was this family with two little girls who were carrying around a silverback gorilla stuffed animal and a tiger stuffed animal. Im 90% sure they brought them with them rather just purchased because we ended up at the same exhibits a lot so i could tell that the one girl was so excited about the tigers. It was so adorable. But when we ended up at the silverback gorilla exhibit, the youngest girl (probably like 5-6??) Who had been holding the gorilla stuffed animal went (forgive my pun) bananas. I think she had either named the gorilla or somehow knew its name because she was shouting "i love you [name]!!! Hi!!!! You're my favourite!!" For like 5 minutes straight. She was so excited to see him. Her parents told us they go there a lot soni can only imagine that she acts the exact same way everytime. I cant remember exactly what she said but i remember like almost crying because it was so sweet. She was so earnest in how much she loved this animal. I've never seen a kid so obsessed with silverback gorillas. I hope she grows up to be a zookeeper or something.
