EDITORS COMMENTS
This heartwarming photo captures the two surviving bush babies, nestled in a cozy corner of the R. S. P. C. A hostel for animals at Heathrow Airport. These adorable creatures were unknowingly smuggled into the country, hidden within a compartment of a box that also contained two royal python snakes. Sadly, their journey took its toll as four other baby bush babies did not survive. Arriving from Accra and destined for a Chiswick animal dealer, these resilient survivors found solace and care at this temporary shelter. It was November 1971 when this touching moment was frozen in time by Mirrorpix. Looking closely at the image, one can't help but be captivated by their innocent eyes and delicate features. The bush babies' tiny bodies seem to radiate an aura of resilience despite their tumultuous start to life. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the fragility and strength present in nature's creations. It is an ode to compassion and dedication shown by organizations like R. S. P. C. A. , who tirelessly work towards protecting vulnerable animals. As we delve into this nostalgic glimpse from the 1970s, let us cherish these precious moments where humanity extends its helping hand to those who cannot speak for themselves.
