In August 1996,an accident occurred at Brookfield Zoo(Illinois):a three-year-old boy over a fence from a five-meter height directly into the enclosure,where a huge gorilla named Binti Joie lived.
From a strong blow with his head,he lost consciousness and lay without moving in the middle of the fenced area.The child’s parents and visitors to the zoo were waiting with horror for the reaction of the gorilla,whose peace was unexpectedly disturbed.
Nevertheless,despite all fears,Binti Joie calmly approached the boy,lifted him slightly and carefully began to examine the wound on her head.
Later,zoo workers appeared,they took the injured child from the enclosure without any problems and provided him with the necessary medical care.
