This happened to a friend. The baby was about 6 months old and they were
visiting the zoo. Baby needed to nurse and my friend happened to be in
fromt of the gorilla exhibit. Well, as she nursed, a large crowd
gathered but it was all the gorillas coming to the front of the
enclosure to watch her. My friend though it was the neatest thing.
