A mother and her baby are seen in a video.
Mahale, the mother chimp, picks up and embraces her baby boy, Kucheza.
"It's one of the most powerful things I've ever seen," said a spokesman for the Kansas zoo.
An emotional video shows the moment a mother and her baby are back together after being separated for two days.
Mother Mahale is shown in a video 48 hours after her baby's birth. The mother and baby had an emotional reunion after the mother's baby had to stay in the hospital.
Mahale cautiously approaches her baby boy. Mahale's motherly instincts come into action when she sees the little one holding her baby.
The video is one of the most powerful things Jennica King has seen. Her baby is laying there. The baby is not moving much. She's looking at something and wondering what's happening. You see the love and the relief when he moves.
Staff get emotional at the tender scene, saying "good job, mama" and cooing.
"Mahale is an exceptional mother, and it's clear how much she adores her baby," the zoo said. Mahale's third baby was called "Kuchaza".
The zoo said on their Facebook page that Mahale and her baby are in love.
