Have you seen the gorilla with fingers that look like that of a human? Have you been following six-year-old Anaka online, too?
A grandchild of the legendary late Willie B., Anaka was the 22nd gorilla born in The Ford African Rain Forest. She has fingers that look like that of a human, which made a lot of people –including social media users who have not yet seen her in person– adore her.
“She has a unique pink and white pigmentation in her fingers and a very unique personality, often barking at her mom and others to get a prime spot for food and juice. She is often seen riding piggyback on her brother and sisters,” Zoo Atlanta described her on its website.
When she turned six years old recently, Zoo Atlanta uploaded a couple of photos of her, saying, “Anaka turns a big 6 today! You can always pick her out of Taz’s family group because of the unique pink pigmentation on her fingers.” This was the time when more people noticed how her hands differ from the hands of her fellow gorillas.
Now, a lot of social media users love Anaka not only because of her human-like fingers, but also because of her unique personality; getting updated on her through the Zoo Atlanta’s pages. They also love checking uploaded pictures of her to see how much she has grown since she turned six years old.
