Losing a parent can be one of the most tragic experiences of a person's life. As photographer Phil Moore shows, this feeling of deep sadness is not exclusive to humans.
For this mountain gorilla who's mother was killed poachers, the pain is all too real. In an emotional display of mourning, the dismayed gorilla holds onto park ranger Patrick Karabaranga for support.
Captured in July 2012 at Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this photograph documents the gorilla's capacity to express loss and Karabaranga's compassion for an individual of another species: a much needed skill in a world where human activity increasingly encroaches upon the lives of wild gorillas.
