She grew up with gorillas. 12 years later when they reunited? Left me speechless!

The nonprofit organization The Aspinall Foundation was founded for gorillas at Howletts Wildlife Park located at Kent, England. One little girl, Tansy Aspinall, helped with the daily missions of the family of the organization, that concentrates at rehabilitating gorillas who lived in captivation. The organization's mission is to free the gorillas back to their natural wildlife in Western Africa.
12 years ago, they released two gorillas, Bimms and Djalta, who were born in Kent Park's wildlife park as part of a plan to let the gorillas get a feeling of what's their natural environment like. In 2014, Tansy and her father Damien went to Gabon where they released the gorillas, to see if they can find their old friends.
It's just amazing to see the reaction of Djalta and Bimms to the sound of Damien. Then, the way they react to Tansy, who was just an infant when they first met. It left me speechless. Watch the video below for yourselves.
