Mama, a fifty-nine-year old chimpanzee who spent much of her life in captivity, was in the final stages of life. She nearly gave up on life – stopped eating and hardly moved. An old man who once cared for Mama pays a visit to bid farewell to her.
When she sees the man, Mama cries out, throws up a big, toothless smile and hugs him as if he were her child. She puts her arm around him, runs her fingers through his hair, looks into his eyes and communicates with him like there is no tomorrow.
Their cuddles and conversation, very touching moments, show that her friend’s visit meant everything to Mama. It establishes, beyond an aorta of doubt, that animals are sentient beings with feelings of unadulterated love.
The video, which shows Mama bidding farewell to her friend, is one of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking stories on the internet. It puts a dagger through your heart and will make you cry. You can watch the video below:
