Gemma Copeland was left in tears after visiting Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna, Austria.
While in the orangutan enclosure, Copeland realized her son, 15-month-old Jasper, was hungry. She sat down against the glass to breastfeed him when a female orangutan, named Sol, who had been watching Copeland intently, comes to sit beside her.. as if protecting her as she breastfeeds.
Sadly, Sol had previously given birth to a stillborn infant.
Copeland was moved to tears by the gesture, writing, "She looked directly into my eyes then placed her hand up as if to touch my son. I was in awe of this beautiful creature already. My son wanted feeding and as it was quiet I fed him whilst I sat there. The way the orangutan reacted took my breath away she kept looking at me, then my son then back again.
She sat with me for approximately half an hour, and kept stroking the glass and lay down next to me as if to support and protect me. I was absolutely gobsmacked and got quite a crowd of people turning up to see what was going on – people were sat watching quietly and respectfully. It was really lovely and I didn't want to leave – it felt incredible and I was crying so much because I couldn't take it in.
I had to share this because my mind was blown, we may be a species apart but breastfeeding connected us today in a once in a lifetime moment that will stay with me forever."
Sol undoubtably had a strong connection to this mother and her child. Orangutans are such gentle and loving souls, Sol is an example of that love.

Much needed heavy rains have finally come to put out the horrific Australia bushfires. However, as anyone who lives in an area that's often dealing with intense fires, once the rain comes -- it comes hard. Due to the fires burning away so much, there is nothing in the rains path to help block it from forming mudslides and flooding like no other.
As a result, this rainfall has created flooding so bad, the Australian Reptile Park claims they haven't seen such a thing in over 15 years. And due to the waters reaching high level, Australia has essentially become a Disneyland playground for alligators. Australian Reptile Park have stationed keepers at their Alligator Lagoon to monitor the water levels, which were rising beyond the fence line.
Here is some footage they captured out around the park.
Some of the images below are in fact created digitally, but a majority with ink! And all the details created with this fine ink tip is so beautiful and gives a Tim Burton-esque feel to them -- don't you think?
It may feel Tim Burton-esque but the overall cuteness meter runs way higher. We adore this style!
The images below are all created by artist Luis Coelho, and there are prints available of certain cats, if you happen to fall as in love with these works of art as we did!
What do these cats have in common? They are rollin' in the dough. We're talking BIG money.
But these cats have worked hard for it -- you think it's easy to nap for 18 hours of the day? And they make it all look so easy.
@Cashcats, on Instagram, has been serving cats living that high life since 2011. They also have a cat rescue in Brooklyn called @flatbushcats!
..and we worship them for it.
Cat pics are a true blessing to this world. The say so much without having to say anything at all, and we are forever grateful for these photos that flow around the internet for all of us to see and cherish.
What more could we hoomans want out of life? Nothing. Just cat pics for the rest of time will suffice.
Thank you to Twitter user, @Ella_7991, for sharing this viral tweet with the world. The video has already gathered over 3.7 million views!
A man who was staying at an English-speaking hotel, tried to explain over the phone, and in broken English, that there was a mouse in his room.
The word 'mouse' probably evaded him so he came up with another clever (and amusing) way to tell the receptionist that there was a mouse in his room... by saying Jerry, of 'Tom and Jerry,' was currently running around.
Watch the hilarious yet adorable interaction for yourself:
Meet Jubilee, the husky who was rejected by breeders because she looked "weird," according to the rescue organization Husky House.
Jubilee is a Siberian husky with a unique and unforgettable bug-eyed stare -- which has since made her viral! Reddit user, u/critterwalk, share Jubilee's picture with the Reddit community, with the title, "This is Jubilee. She just happens to look like bad taxidermy."
Thanks to her cartoon-ish eyes, Jubilee was made into an internet star overnight!
Before her stardom, it was difficult to find someone to take Jubilee home with them, her caretakers at Husky House wrote in a Facebook post in her voice:
"Huskies are majestic looking dogs and I don't know why I don't look like them,I wish I was beautiful so someone would want me to be their dog."
If that doesn't hit you right in the feels, you might want to go to a doctor to make sure you're human.
Thanks to Jubilee's sudden stardom, her adorable face was being shared countless times and finally landed her a forever home!
