We as humans go through a lot of emotions. When we lose something or someone close to us, we often feel the need to grieve and mourn them. This is a natural thing for humans to go through during the time of loss. You may be surprised to know that this feeling is not completely exclusive to the human race. Even animals have their way of dealing with loss. Here is a photographic evidence that this is not all that uncommon with animals. How this gorilla dealt with the loss of his mother will surely break your heart.

Gorillas

Gorillas are considered to be a part of the four species of great apes. It is no secret that they closely resemble us human beings. These great apes are able to walk upright like us, they do not have tails, and they, in fact, have a brain which is comparatively larger than that of an average monkey. This enables them to process information faster and they can also absorb more data than them. One thing we have to note is that these apes are also slowly nearing extinction. Their population has decreased so much in these recent years.
