A tender moment was captured when a baby booby snuggled up next to Chris Gillette, a wildlife filmmaker who was filming sharks in Cocos National Park. The little one, probably tired from its first flight over the open sea, instead of being frightened, sought refuge next to the diver, creating a scene of trust and tenderness that went viral on social media. With no way to take care of it, Gillette left it in a safe place on land. Years later, he opened a sanctuary in Florida with more than 250 animals, inspired by that encounter.
