This video shows a woman feeding treats to a pair of gorillas she has known since birth.

The touching moment, captured on camera, shows Freya Aspinall, 20, sitting with the gorillas and handing them treats like little children.

Freya, a conservationist from London, has known Silverback Kifu, 36, and Tambabi, 35, since she was born.

She was introduced to the animals by her father Damian Aspinall, another conservationist.

Both live in Howletts Wild Animal Park in Bekesbourne, Kent, which was founded by John Aspinall, Freya's grandfather.

The video was filmed in the gorillas' enclosure and Freya was interacting with the pair for enrichment.

The interaction seen here comes after Freya has built up decades of trust with Tambabi and Kifu.

She and her father are the only people who are able to interact with the gorillas like this safely.

Howletts Wild Animal Park said: "This type of interaction takes years of trust, love and respect. "

"Nobody other than Freya or Damian enters their enclosure with them. "

"[Building this trust is done via] No tricks, no shortcuts, just years of love, mutual respect and trust."

They added: "Freya has been around animals in this way since she was a baby."

"Animals are honest. If the gorillas didn’t want to interact with Freya and Damian they would let them know with their body language before they enter the enclosure."
