Western-lowland Gorilla dad Mbundi was chilling in a hammock at Gladys Porter Zoo when, suddenly, his son Burchfield dropped in for cuddles, literally.

2-year-old Burchfield, born Cinco de Mayo 2019, is the first of 3 babies Mbundi has sired at the Brownsville, Texas Zoo.

Stoic and strong, the Silverback is also very gentle with the babies.
