Claudio is Dead...



Gorilla mother Gana carries her dead baby at the zoo in Muenster, western Germany, on Aug. 20, 2008. The baby died on Aug. 16, but can only be recovered from the enclosure once the mourning mother leaves the corpse behind, zoo spokesperson Ilona Zuehlke said.

The chasm between Gana's grief and my ability to comfort her is huge. The photo is poignant; tragedy knows no species. So sad.
