The difference being that the gorilla in that case immediately and tenderly took the child directly to zookeepers.
You left out a major difference, one which changes the entire equation. The gorilla in that instance was female and this one was male. The absolute major difference is that despite the gender difference, the male gorilla was still attempting to protect the child from what he perceived as a threat from above. Do you not get it? How can you not?
