An 8-year-old female gorilla named Binti Jua made national headlines in 1996 when she displayed an extraordinary act of compassion by rescuing a 3-year-old boy who fell into her enclosure at the Brookfield Zoo. The boy, unconscious from the fall, was gently picked up by Binti, who shielded him from the other gorillas and carried him to safety near the exhibit door, allowing zookeepers to retrieve him. The act of kindness surprised many onlookers, who initially feared Binti might harm the child. Instead, her maternal instincts shone through in a moment that captivated the world. The boy, whose identity was never released, made a full recovery. Binti Jua’s heroic deed, caught on camera, earned her widespread acclaim. She was named Newsweek’s Hero of the Year and one of People magazine’s Most Intriguing People of 1996, solidifying her place in history as a symbol of animal empathy and intelligence. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/gorilla-shooting-sparks-memory-of-infamous-brookfield-zoo-incident/60891/
