Fascinating A fifth wheel used to help parallel park in 1933

In 1996, an unidentified 8-year-old boy slipped away from his mother, climbed over a barrier, and fell into the Gorilla Enclosure. Due to the 20 ft fall, the boy broke his hand and suffered a deep laceration to his face. Seven gorillas inhabited the enclosure. Gorillas are known to be fiercely territorial animals. They will fight to the death to defend their families. However, one of the gorillas, called Binti Jua, meaning “daughter of sunshine” went over to the boy and cradled him in her arms, all while her own young child was on her back. She then went over to the edge of the enclosure and waited for the zookeepers to come and collect the child. Binti handed the child over peacefully before returning to the rest of the gorillas. Binti received worldwide praise and received regular treats for the next few weeks. The boy and the mother have never been identified, but the boy did stay in a hospital for 4 days. Animal behavioral experts claim Binti used her maternal instincts to look after the child. This may have been influenced by the fact that she had her own baby Gorilla with her at the time.

A man saved a child from death. Not all heroes wear capes

@fasc1nate They should've kept this feature.

@fasc1nate Omg never knew what that was there for lol thought it was a spare

@fasc1nate Get ma wife this fuckin pronto

@fasc1nate This is not a thing now I’m sorry WHY ??

@fasc1nate This was NEVER a feature on cars. It was an experimental device on the inventor’s own vehicle.

@fasc1nate Whoa...Reminds me of choke to start engine up in cold weather

@fasc1nate Why did we ever go away from this?? lol This would be so helpful!

@fasc1nate This must be the origin of that fifth wheel that some cars had in the 1970s. It was as an adornment only, but it looked the same. I always wondered why some cars had that wheel in the back.

@fasc1nate Look like 1933 more advanced than 2023
