Adorable pictures show baby gorilla sisters meeting for the first time.

The two sisters, Mobi and Gaia - who were born within four months of each other - share the same father but a different mother.

On January 20, 2025, the two sisters met for the first time after their mothers brought them together.

The comforting pictures show the two half-sisters cuddling and walking around the enclosure in Prague Zoo, whilst holding on to each other.

Lucie Štěpničková, 38, who snapped the first meeting said they took "full advantage" of their time together and looked "very happy".

Lucie, a shop assistant, from Prague, Czech Republic, said: "They loved chasing each other, falling on top of each other and hug each other.

"You can see how much they love each other.

"The girls loved to snuggle up together.

"I'm very happy that it worked out so well."
