Father gorilla steps in to protect baby

A cute video has emerged of a father gorilla taking his son away from his mother as she gets into a fight.

The footage, shot late last month at Amsterdam's Artis zoo, Netherlands, shows the father taking his baby Shambe on his back as his older son starts a fight with his mother.

"Baby Shambe's older brothers like to play rough but when things started to get out of control her father stepped in to help mother Sindy," the filmer wrote online.
