Interesting story about Binti Jua. I was going to suggest an entry on Jambo the gorilla in Jersey Zoo, but it turns out that the details are almost exactly the same as Binti's story. A boy fell into the enclosure and was knocked unconcious. All the gorillas came running over to see, but Jambo the silverback got there first, checked to see was the boy OK. When it was obvious he wasn't, he chased away the other males and kept them away until help arrived.
Jambo's behaviour completely changed the attitude of people in the UK to gorillas.

Didn't know about Jambo, might add a footnote maybe, saying that this behaviour isn't all that uncommon amongst any animals really...
I might google Jambo and see what I can find
