At the zoo, a gorilla suddenly attacked a man in a wheelchair, grabbed the handles of his chair, and refused to let go: the zookeepers tried to save the man, but then something completely unexpected happened

ByJohn Revokee

Years ago, a retired zookeeper in a wheelchair regularly visited the zoo where he had once worked. He loved the animals deeply, and they had once loved him in return. Every Saturday, he returned to stand by the enclosures, quietly watching the creatures he had cared for—feeling, if only for a moment, that he still belonged among them. Those visits were his way of staying connected to the life and family he had once known so well.

One afternoon, everything seemed ordinary until a sudden commotion erupted near the gorilla enclosure. As the man sat by the fence watching, one of the female gorillas approached unexpectedly. Without warning, she reached through the bars and grabbed the handles of his wheelchair, holding on with surprising strength. Visitors screamed and staff members rushed to help, pulling and shouting, but the gorilla’s grip was too powerful.

Before anyone could react, the gorilla dragged the wheelchair toward her and, with astonishing ease, lifted both the man and his chair into her enclosure. Panic spread through the crowd. “Get a tranquilizer!” someone shouted as keepers scrambled to respond. The man, frozen with fear, knew how dangerous such a situation could be and braced himself for the worst, convinced that this would end in tragedy.

Then something extraordinary happened. Instead of attacking, the gorilla approached slowly and tenderly. She reached out, embraced the man gently, and began to rock him softly, as though cradling a child. The chaos around them fell silent. Keepers and visitors alike stood motionless, stunned by the unexpected calmness of the animal’s actions.

In that silence, a whisper spread through the crowd: “She remembers him.” The gorilla held him for a long moment, then carefully set him back into his wheelchair and pushed him toward the fence. The staff swiftly helped the man to safety, astonished by what they had witnessed.

As he was wheeled away, the man didn’t speak—but his eyes were full of tears. He knew her. Years before, he had raised and cared for that same gorilla, nursing her back to health when she was just a baby. Now, in a moment that defied all logic, she had remembered him—with gratitude, affection, and a bond that time could never erase.
