Have you ever wanted to see a REALLY BIG Gorilla? If so, get ready because we found the largest one in the Congo!
On our first Brave Mission, host Mark Vins is teaming up with the Rangers of Virunga National Park to search for some of the last remaining Mountain Gorillas in the Congo - including the largest Silverback in the region. While trekking for these gigantic primates, Mark and his elite camera team must evade poachers and rogue militias in the DRC, while learning how to protect its critically endangered wildlife from extinction. The mission to save Africa’s oldest national park will transport viewers to the front-lines of conservation and invite them to participate in the goal to rewild our planet - which is now more critical than ever.
From Executive Producer’s Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Vins, comes this thrilling mission to prove that conservation IS action!

If humanity exist in this world don't forget to share this video and donate..
Great documentary ever made.
We all will
I immediately started crying. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you because you’re actually risking your life. This past months I’ve been feeling like nobody helps animals and I felt for a minute ; why should I ? But this is what keeps me going. Thank you. I hope that the universe blesses you every single day of your life and the teams. I will donate what I can. Great project!!
Mark this was amazing beyond words! I'm so proud to be a part of the BW pack. I'm sorry I cant donate but I have shared the video on facebook. Phenomanal work my lovely. BE BRAVE... STAY WILD!!!!! See ya on the next adventure! 😊😊
@@victoriaabril6112 Thank you Victoria. Really means a lot
The fact that gorillas have endured so much hatred and hardships from humans and still allow you and your touring group to get so close without harming you is a testament to why they should be saved.
We should start a Gorilla Lives Matter movement
Yes, gorillas are peaceful giants. They do not deserve this.
@@brendonbuffaloe8830 that can be taken largely out of context
@@dr.gorgeous lol
@@brendonbuffaloe8830 We wouldn't have to start a "______ movement" of any sort of human beings acted like humans and instead of ignorant beasts who feel like its their right to do whatever tf they want.
“if I die I die if the gorillas are safe, okay.” Absolute legend
Completely agree dude. I have so much respect for people who do the best they can to save these amazing animals.
Hanging around wild animals. Gets killed.
HOW DARE YOU KILL A HUMAN. IT IS A HUMAN CRIME. SINCE YOURE AN ANIMAL WITHOUT ANY HUMAN RIGHTS YOU DIE ON THE SPOT.
Yeah that makes sense.
@@Andytlp well if you kill a gorillas family they would likely want to get revenge if they are as similar to us as we believe
@@TheDevilishSmile The big silverback propably saw poachers kill members of his family and he still let's people approach his family.They are better than us.
@@erikramaekers63 if that were the case they would be worse than us who the hell let's someone kill a part of their family and not want revenge or hate the certain fellow or put distrust in that species
I pray these animals never go extinct
They are extremely endangered, a few years more and they'll disappear completely
Thank humans for that
@@sieben8724 They? We are all gonna disappear, its just a matter of time before the world explodes or AI takes over by starting with a human massacre.
Sadly, the locals tasked to protect them are the ones slaughtering the gorillas and selling their parts.
I hope so too I’ve always been fascinated by them like how do they communicate with each other if there so close to us but yet they don’t make a noise to communicate with each other
Unfortunately some subspecies such as mountain gorillas are already endangered
Why’s the main silverback so handsome 🤣… so much calm confidence and natural intimidation
?
That Ranger who put the safety of the gorillas before his own life on a daily basis is a truely remarkable person.
He may not be rich or well known like the celebrities that dominate social media but he is doing much more important work.

The tolerance they have for humans is quite incredible
if only it were more reciprocal 😢
We can see the humanity in their eyes. And they can see the gorilla in ours.
god allowes it
Even the most dominant silverback in the world won't resort to violence against outsiders from another species; he'll even allow them to get close to his family. It really does make you think about the kind of species humanity has become.
Intelligent life recognizes other Intelligent species. They know damn well we're like them.
It absolutely blows my mind how intelligent these creatures are and how similar they are to us!
No they are Apes we are humans God created man n animals jst saying
We’re all animals/creatures we’re just sophisticated similar to ants but on a bigger scale without weapons or being able to create fire we as the human race would be extinct physically we are no match
They are smarter than most Africans
We share 98% of our genes with them, thats why they look similar to us

So strong as can crush a bowling ball with their hand. Probably just like Elephant's insanely smart and deep brain wise.

I’m learning so much about gorillas 🦍 lately not only are they beautiful but seem to be mostly peaceful creatures. It’s us humans that have drove them to be Leary and cautious of us for good reason
It makes sense since we're the alpha predator. Similar to mice being cautious of cats, cats being cautious of dogs, etc

"an unmistakably human experience" wow... that humbled me
No lip puffing, no smiling, and the silverback even yawned while he knew they were there. He probably knows the rangers and trusts them. Beautiful.
I love how the rangers willing to sacrifice their lifes to save the gorillas from the poachers
Wish I could sigh up
@@gc4346 why can’t you
I hate that they have to. This is f-ed up to a degree it just blows my mind.
@@gc4346 you can. South Africa has a military style group that does just that: deter and hunt down poachers, save wildlife
@@gc4346 That would be amazing. So much more impressive than fighting for oil and money.
Seeing that baby gorilla was something I never knew I needed in life. The very stout and serious face of a gorilla on a tiny little gorilla body is absolutely adorable looking lol
I donated to the Rangers to support them upon watching this documentary.
I saw Jane Goodall ask to help.
Man looking in those gorilla's eyes breaks my heart tbh thinking about how they fight to survive against human race and still sits with peace and comfort when facing you guys.. Amazing man
They're doing much better than they were 40 years ago... The countries around are doing quite good
Breaks my heart thinking how they fight to survive.thank god it is upto us to belive or not.
They remain calm coz the same human race is dedicated to help them survive.unless this is your first video about gorillas.
Anyways m sure u have donated your part of conscience before collecting virtual points.

Amazing story. Well told. It's up to all of us to protect our wildlife. This wildlife does belong to all of us, to the planet. Please do your part in saving this amazing parklands.
This is a top quality documentary. Experienced rangers who have studied everything about the forest, great camera crew that absorbs every detail.
I love how the Gorillas seem to have some level a mutual respect and can understand who aren't a threat, it's quite beautiful
They are very very smart creatures.
@@vencislavgynev8282 they are smart but it worries me that they don't see us as a threat. They should run from us. Protect their families and get far away from any human.
The idea that a poacher can get that close, and while the gorillas are sitting their just watching them they are slaughtered makes me sick.

@@emmakennedy104 they'll just fight back if the poachers shoot gorilla dont die from 1 bullet but yeah poachers are really dangerous for no reason at all
@@vencislavgynev8282 Yes they certainly are highly smart (Above average). And these apes aren't just massively solid and tough, but in general they're also gentle and considerate beings of African continent. Plus these simians are still endangered (In spite of their population growth)!
Everything about this is beautiful. We seriously need to come together and make a change for our planet.
Yep but I fear its too late greed has killed the planet
100th like
Great comment makes alot a sense
@@mikeking7684 I think so to but with all these communities doing rasies for the world to things could dial down a little
with the climate crisis we're in, we don't have much time. Half measures won't do. We must come together and uproot capitalism worldwide, because that's the system which rewards and perpetuates the worst forms of human greed and destruction. Trying to treat the symptoms, so to speak, will only get you so far. What we need to do is address the root cause, and that's the economic system that rules the world.
for anyone interested, one should look into democratic/libertarian socialism and green anarchism. Try to organize locally, develop mutual aid networks, and worker solidarity.
The Gorilla 🦍 deserves our respect and help. It is my favorite great ape species, so majestic, so strong and important!
I was born and raised in the South Kivu province, eastern DRC. I am glad that what is happening in my country is being shown to such a large audience. Despite all the unrest, the DRC is such a unique and wonderful Country. I look forward to seeing you all visit the DRC in future after all these conflicts are over.
Thank you for your comment.
Asa canadian I have had the pleasure of meeting many people from the DRC who had left home due to the conflict.
Truba had told me that he wishes to return home and misses his extended family...I couldn't imagine what loosing my entire family to war would do to me....
I pray for your nation, the parks, the African continent and all the wildlife...it has always been my dream to visit one day, but for today I can make a donation towards the upkeep of the park and its rangers
May God bless the DRC with peace, so many who wish so can return home

It felt really good to be able to give this time around,
thx for the video and the continued awareness.
At 4:27 I love the ranger's face when Mark picks up the ant xD
I love how chill gorillas are despite the fact they are insanely strong and can cause all kinds of hell if they wanted to. They hardly ever make it a point to prove it which is so admirable.
@Pickle pickle Gobble gobble fr man, us and thr great apes have fought literal wars against the big cats for tens of thousands of years. We must protect the apes at all cost now that we have domination
Yeah humans are so admirable for not killing dogs and cats because we are stronger than them.
@Pickle pickle Gobble gobble Gorillas have no natural predators. Only juvenile, old, or sick gorillas are hunted but even then predators still think twice due to the immense strength these animals possess at nearly all ages and stages of their life.
@Pickle pickle Gobble gobble smaller? The only big cat that regularly kills them is a jaguar. easily the most dangerous big cat in nature.
@Pickle pickle Gobble gobble. Try to challenge a Silverback. I am 100% sure that you will be brutally teared apart and killed very quickly.

Derp a derrrrr
It always has been and always will be
The power and strength of this gorilla is incredible. He could easily pop your head like a grape.
And 25k hippos to 300 is absolutely crazy, wish there was more we could do but saving animals that big and deadly is hard, plus them being in a violent area makes it even harder. Hard to get in there to help them and keep them safe, and hard to capture the animals and move them because they need specific environments.
Whole situation with all this poaching is just tough all the way around.
Those rangers have truly earned my respect. I pray that they can get the time they need to reach their noble goals.
Brilliantly done, fascinating and hit me right in the heart...sending prayers and money to help them.

I never knew anything about gorillas but this video might have made them my favorite animal. Just seeing how they hang out with their family, have human mannerisms, and are so docile is incredible. Mark was spot on by saying it’s like looking in a mirror
Look up the D'jeeco family. They're in captivity but their family structure is so loving in a very human way it's amazing to see.
They are my number 1.
I swear these people believing they are 98% the same as humans have no hope left.
No shred of common sense.
Did evolution just stop? Did it just work for 1 group? Are they still evolving? Truly ridiculous, in fact so ridiculous that it might actually be true for you. Perhaps your forefathers were some apes, i'm pretty my weren't.
@@marmitaa8619 It's not a matter of belief, that percentage is scientifically proven.
Yeah they have similarities but also different things. You can’t just pick up a baby gorilla or you would get mauled. You got to submit to them to gain their trust or get mauled by them.
They are amazing you see you they bond and how the mom takes care of her baby its amazing i love them amazing
He looked like he was going to cry at 14:07 what an amazing experience it must have been
5 days and 1.3 million views is the example that there are still humans in the world who love nature and want to protect it rather than destroying it Directly or indirectly by ignoring these legendary documentation.
It's ironic that a lot of the humans who "love nature", are the biggest threat to it. You can love something to death. If many of these nature lovers truly loved nature, they would leave it alone and let it be.
Loving nature is not being all in it's face, and always trapesing through it.

Teared up just watching these animals.. stunning and beautiful 🖤
My favorite wild animal's, are the large male gorilla's. When I was 5 yrs old, my parent's took me to the zoo. It was the zoo in Dallas,Tx., where I grew up. I headed straight to the gorilla area.There was a particular very large male gorilla, that I had made eye contact with. I was so thrilled to see him! My parent's knew how fascinated I was, so they would let me watch him, for as long as I wanted to. I knew he recognized me each time we were there, and from that first time on, my parent's would take me to the zoo often. I came to form a real bonding relationship with him. He was so majestic!!! As soon as he saw me, he walked over, and he never walked away for as long as I was there. I looked into his eye's, and I really felt love and care for him, and I believe he could feel that. I wanted to go into the gorilla area, take him by the hand, and tell him that I was going to find a way to take him, and his family, out of the zoo. I truly wanted them to be back into the jungle, once and for all. I know to this day, he understood that I cared about them. I also knew that he and his family, were being very well taken care of, and he seemed happy where they were... I just wanted to take them back to where they belonged, and that was into the jungle. Now, that was back in the 1960's, and 1970's. The last time I saw him, was in 1979. I cherish the memories of him, and all of his family members, I always will. Everyone that truly love's animal's, can understand what I'm saying. Looking back, I thank God, that I had parent's that were sensitive to the need's of their child. 🤗 🙏💖
This video is one of the most touching documentaries that I've ever seen. The amount of talent and determination put into this video is probably immeasurable.
Thank you so much, MANY people worked very hard and risked a lot to bring this story to the world. But it doesnt even come close to the risks the Virunga rangers face every day...please honor them by sharing this story. -MV

@@reillywillis8467 of course 👍
LOL!! Conservation areas were created in Africa to provide cover for resource theft. Pretend to care about animals so that locals will not profit from the resources coincidentally found in the Wild Life Parks. Yeah, a good scheme. Notice there are NO wildlife parks in England like this.
@@Nonpeon Get off your high horse. They have these conservation areas mostly for tourism and education: without the animals, the government receives no tourism investment and no investment from universities and research institutes. The government NEEDS these animals to fund them. In an area like this no tourism can occur.
One reason why there isn't a wildlife conservation like this in England is because you have no wildlife of major conservation interest. England doesnt have a high density of animal, insect, and plant species per unit of land, and is also extremely small in comparison to other places like Africa. Having to control a major land area of a conservation is much different. England is also a 1st world country.
These people do care. Are awful things happening behind the scenes? Of course; it happens everywhere. There if always greed. But that does not alter the hard work these individuals put in to protecting these creatures. Putting their lives on the line, they most certainly care.
So get off your high horse. You will never have a conservation as beautiful in Englad because England is boring. 🤭

So let me get this correct.
Of a population of 27,000 hippopotamus, only 350 remained.
That means the hippopotamus almost became extinct.
The creatures were hunted to, and are, on the brink of extinction.
he was only talking about hippopotamus at that specific lake, not all hippopotamus.
@@marvbordello6047
Research has revealed there are about 120,000 hippopotamus left on Earth as of the starting of 2024.
This includes a population strangely introduced in a Colombian river system, numbering about 100, and interestingly, are birthing more to their numbers; a growing population.
Money is the root of all evil, I can't believe we're destroying our one and only world we have for some bunch of papers. I am glad that there are people out there that fight for the planet, thank you!
11:08 lovely lipstick color
13:50 So true. The interaction with the dominant male was surreal. The non-dominants were scurrying about wounded and defeated. But when you reached the dominant... The way he carried himself was so, well, human. Confident and successful. You can tell he has a lot of respect for humans, and he shows no fear. You can see him thinking. You can see him being anxious. And I think he even actively was showing off... That freaking model pose he struck killed me. Nice going, Mark. Been a while since I loved a video this much!
I don’t think he has respect for humans. Just no fear.
3:58 I have so much respect for this man he is so kind to risk his life for gorillas, he deserves the best 😇
praise for the producers of this project and the park vanguard
We appreciate you do this for your followers you risking your life bro thank you very much ❤
This documentary is amazing. I love how those rangers are risking their lives for the gorillas. And it makes me so sad the fact that these gorillas are killed and have family’s just like we do. Those poachers have no heart.
Years ago I saw an article or something about a young lady that moved to Africa or Australia to join a militia fighting against poachers. Makes me wish there were more documentaries about such tactics, but they are understandably dangerous
They also mentioned a lot of rebel groups. I wonder if these groups also do poaching as a side hustle, or that their main beef is simply with the government and it's politics. It would be nice if leaders of the main rebel groups could agree to not harm the gorillas. They may or may not have legitimate reasons to hate the government but at least it would be nice if they didn't also poach.
Give them a chance to commit in return for a seat at the political table, a ceasefire, some more autonomy to whatever (ethnic) group they represent, etc.
Yeah truly just garbage humans, props to the rangers and anyone fighting to protect them.
Those 'poachers' do have a heart, for feeding their own families, in spite of the fact that often the only paid work is to kill the animals which are often "set up" in these parks to be readily available to be hunted,for profit. Most of that profit is not left in the country of the animal's origin. Consider other animals on game preserves all over Africa. The pangolin, for example. "protected" as are the rhinos. So, how do they perish on the land where they are supposed to be safe? Who is really getting away with eliminating these glorious, majestic and peacecul beings?
@@diatadiatainternationalfol6038 No they dont have a heart im sorry but id rather die of starvation than kill a innocent animal there are other means to feed your family
Man: "He's a handsome silverback and he knows it".
Silverback: Strikes pouty lip pose with fist under chin....
I think he knows that he's handsome haha.
They are learning how to disable the traps that poachers set. They watch the rangers disable the traps and then they go and do it themselves. We must protect this animal at all costs.
This video was absolutely eye opening. The mountain Gorillas you are talking about I have always thought of as Majestic and I am ashamed that I thought that they're situation was on the rebound. As you prob have seen S.M. seems to be the best way to get the information out there. Have you ever thought about doing live streams on the struggles you guys have and what support you need. I think ppl are thirsty for defending the indefensible if they are shown the TRUTH about the situation.
The fact that a random shorts video blessed by the algorithm can get millions of views for nothing. And this, one of a kind documentary that we can watch for free only has 1 million views, it definitely deserves more.
Relax chief. Getting 2-3 million views in 2 weeks is plenty.
They are majestic animals, its nice seeing the rangers protecting them.
Gorrilas are amazing creatures. I've always wanted to go to the Congo and see them in their natural habitats.
Wow. I keep forgetting how much Kalashnikov and Toyota are still some of the biggest heroes and villains of Africa
Wow, I have no words to describe what I just watched; The Gorilla encounter was unreal!
Usually, I am not affected by your videos, but this caused me to become extremely heartbroken and frightened.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Virunga Rangers and everyone else who projects Africa, risking their lives every day, you are all heroes! ❤️
