This is a 59-year-old chimpanzee mother who was the matriarch of the Royal Burgers Zoo colony in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The colony is known as a pioneering research base for primate behavior, which resulted in Frans De Waal’s book Chimpanzee Politics.

In April 2016, his life was coming to an end, he was ill and could not eat. Upon hearing the news, the founder of the colony, Jan van Hoff, a professor of behavioral biology, returned to pay his last respects to his mother. He had known her since 1972 and the couple had a deep bond.

At first, the mother did not recognize Yana, who seemed weak and eventually gave up. However, when he finds out, the emotion is understandable to everyone and just beautiful. Check out the amazing bond between animals and humans in the video below, and don’t forget your fabrics.
