Crazy how they maintain that weight on a vegetarian diet! Marvelous
I love seeing them where they belong and thrive, in the wild! God I hope they make it!🙏
Smiling or showing teeth show’s aggression to them….. Lucky she wasn’t killed!
I would probably defecate myself anytime that a gorilla would get close. This lady is super brave
does it ever snow where the mountain gorillas live ? And if so how do they deal with it?
the reporter is so beautifull
Your warned your lucky lords
Maybe a dumb question but how are they able to get so close without being attacked? Heck we can’t even go out to the flock of sheep without the ram attacking, this is so baffling
hey lady watch your mouth,dont u dare calling the Great Apes an animals,they are our cousins,unless u call your close family an animals,then call the gorillas animals whenever u are alone or with your animals at home not in public,and deff not on tv! ✌️
I love that gorillas are on the rise and I accept that most of that is due to public outcry… I hate that it has to involve these sorts of invasive measures though. The guide that steps in when she gets bowled over, you know he's been doing this a long time.
Diane Fossey this lady is not. She spent 10k on a 'gorilla experience'. A bill she sent to the network and is probably talking about it at luncheons.
Does ANYBODY here know the truth about these " animals" ? She is so rediculous & why in the world are not protective ? Fearful, wild? Anyone have any instincts left at all?
4:39 what the heck happened
I watch the gorilla family I love watching the videos so much so many Gorillas but somebody's using your sight as a scam
Unlike the chimpanzee, the gorilla will mostly avoid conflict. While the Silverback is stronger and larger, he is still much more adept to sending his message through intimidation, rather than actually fighting
that was so scary, i was worried he broke her spine or something
Wowe out off prav pav
Wow shes talking so much rubbish🥴
Your in their territory, of course they went after you
The problem with this world is that we make many animals out to be these vicious animals who are blood thirsty monsters. In reality, animals often times share the same mind set as humans; that is to say, they demand respect just as much as humans do while at the same time do have the ability to critically think about their options.
How do they know when to eat or not?
Gorillas are so cool
That women never stopped being on the verge of laughter, through an incident most women these days would claim gave them ptsd, in a melodramatic, tear soaked selfie video
Dr. Charlotte Uhlenbroek…WOW, she has got a set of 🏀⚽️
Why are there always white people in these videos
Silverbacks have no problem attacking, or killing humans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obQ14zYPer4&t=7s
You know, I sometimes wonder if it would help to flat-out pay some of these desperately poor peoples of the area just enough money so they don't poach these magnificent creatures. If you remove or lessen the monetary reward poaching buys them it might significantly reduce the act? I mean there's an inherent cost protecting in them in the first place. If you gave someone $50 a week (or find that number as it were) would that significantly help in reducing those poaching numbers ?
How does she know what the mother called the baby gorilla.
Heartbreaking and infuriating seeing that mother caring for her baby having lost a foot. You’d think that would instill a growing contempt for humans
I’m pretty sure she was in danger when the young make made contact with her
The newborns hair looks soooo silky 😊 so cute 🥰
3:59 lol this baby is suspect chubby
Wow, that’s amazing. They are so beautiful and so adorable.
👍👍❤❤😊😊
good video
Mountain gorilla youth are unbelievably cute!
Interesting test of courage, seeing who's brave enough to mess with the human.
It's unbelievable that the two teenagers included the lady in the "practice", the older one was like saying "excuse me", then kicking the lady gently. The other one was a bit bolder and didn't even say " sorry".🤣
It should’ve taken her right there
This lady is crazy
A baba AWW SO CUTE
HE JUST SWINGED FROM BAMBOO
He beat chest like Slapslapslapslapslapslapslapslapbeatbeat beat beat beat beat Walawala bing ba
The gorillas seem to be looking back. I mean, they’re just in a big home full of grass and plants and all that other stuff.
SHE IS EATING THA FOOD. THE silverback’s gonna kill her
200 kilos!?
Baby gorillas playing are quite rough tbh
Babas fighting
The silverback is quite close to her. Hope he doesn’t crush her to absolute death
