Gorilla kisses newborn baby through glass at zoo

A newborn baby in Ohio got a sweet, if unexpected, "kiss" from a gorilla.

The baby, named Noah, was visiting the gorilla exhibit at Columbus Zoo when one gorilla took special interest.

The gorilla perched itself by Noah for a better view, and then appeared to give the baby a kiss through the glass of the enclosure.
