Watch: The joy of freedom as cheetahs, chimps, tigers & birds are released in the wild

Indian Forest Service officer and wildlife enthusiast Parveen Kaswan has posted a 2-minute video that shows animals such as cheetahs, chimpanzees, gorillas, tigers and birds being released into the wild by Good Samaritans.

These animals have either been rescued from poachers and smugglers or else been nurtured in captivity to ensure their survival until they are fit to be released in the wild.

The video shows the limitless joy of freedom as the animals bolt into the wild. There is also the touching gesture of a gorilla who gives a parting hug to a Good Samaritan before it goes into the forest.
