Chimp mum filmed swinging baby in heart melting scenes

Hannah played aeroplanes with her daughter Hope.
  • 10 Oct 2019

A chimpanzee has been captured sweetly swinging her baby just like an adult would, in a video that has since gone viral in Australia.

Hannah, the mum, was seen throwing seven-month-old Hope into the air at Monarto Safari Park in South Australia.

"Hannah is a really playful mum and Hope is incredibly adventurous for a youngster her age, making for a very interesting combination," zoo keeper Lauren said in a caption under the video on Facebook.

"In moments like this, it's so easy to see that we share about 98.7% of our DNA with chimpanzees."

Fans took to social media in their droves to comment on the sweet clip.

"So childlike it's gorgeous to see," one user said.

"Beautiful, so human like," another added.
"Look at that attachment just beautiful. Love is great," one said.

"So sweet, mummy and baby playing," another wrote.

However, one user expressed their concerns saying the mother chimp was "too rough".
