Playful baby gorillas tease grandma by climbing on her back
The sweet moment was caught on camera.
By Ben Barry
Two gorilla sisters teased their grandmother by climbing on her.
Footage shows Mobi and Gaia playing with their grandmother, Kijivu.
The playful sisters took a snack break - before they started climbing again.
The video was filmed by Lucie Štěpničková, 38, at Prague Zoo on March 14, 2025.
Lucie, a saleswoman, from Prague, said: "Both of them climb over her back in different ways, as if massaging her and using her as a climbing frame.
"Then they sit down, each on one side, and have a snack, usually just before they start another fight together."
