Fortunately, Ndakasi meets Andre Bauma, who rescues her from the bushes. Andre is the one who is always by Ndakasi’s side and hugs her to his bare сһeѕt to keep her warm and comfort her.Andre Bauma is the keeper of the park’s gorilla nursery and the person in сһагɡe of Ndakasi.
Ndakasi was photographed in the presence of those who loved her in a lovely selfie published by the park.She grew up happy and healthy under the care of the orp.hanage staff. However, the good times don’t last long.
