    I can see why gorilla poaching is so widespread. Look at them--they're so peaceful, calm, whole familes with a huge silverbacks & tiny babies tolerating humans right next to them. They're strong enough to kill us with their bare hands, but the most they tend to do is look at this group with curiosity. They're gentle creatures, & poachers take advantage of that fact. It's amazing that they let us witness them so close; they deserve our respect!

I know there are park rangers that are sworn to give their lives to protect these gorillas from poachers. I honestly would love that job. They also take care of the baby orphans in an gorilla orphanage. They are better than humans. Maybe we shouldn’t have gotten the extra 2.4% that separate us from them of dna so we could be more like them. They are beautiful, intelligent, peaceful and emotional creatures. That deserve so much better from humans. I will go see them in my future. It’s on my bucket list.

      chest beating isn't what you ad everyone heard on Tarzan. Apes have chests with far more volume and laryngeal air sacs that allow them to make and alter the sounds. Watch Finding Bigfoot- those idiots beating trees with sticks isn't the knocking noise. In my 30+ years of researching Relict Hominids no credible reports of them dragging sticks around are seen...but Gorilla's can knock anytime, anyplace.

    Last time I was at a zoo (Los Angeles, 2008) there was a massive silver back leaning up on the windows of the exhibit, I was able to stand mere feet away and look into his eyes, and it like nothing else I've experienced. It did not feel like I was looking into the eyes of an animal. There was so much more there and I could feel it, I could just sense it. It was definitely a simple but profound moment. I'll never forget it as long as I live.

    I am fascinated with primatology, and I think that out of all of the primates, gorillas are my favorites, with the close second being the bonobo. Gorillas are relatively peaceful, and their eyes and expressions are so human. What lovely, wonderful creatures they are.

      @mj. rock What does that have to do with anything? But I have a little question for you, so here it goes:
      There's a lot of bad and suffering in the world, so, if God is omnipotent, and there's still bad and suffering in the world, that's means he's not that good, and if God is good but there's still a lot of bad and suffering in the world, that's means he's not omnipotent.
      What is your reply to that?

    I’m becoming convinced that animals are better in every way than humans. These wonderful videos make me weep for the way we (or some) are destroying their habitat and consequently these amazing creatures. Orangutans have it so bad, too. Thank heavens for those who care and bring us these great videos. Thank you.

    There is a gorilla documentary with a guy that raised a gorilla since it was young. Eventually they had to release it back into the wild. Sometime later he went out and found the gorilla again. The gorilla recognized hi and they spent some time together.

    I think the first time I realised how loving and gentle gorillas were, was a moment when a mother was holding her newborn to her chest and the infant was getting fussy, wriggling in her arms, and the mother began to pat her baby on the back and rock it. It brought tears to my eyes.

      There are funny videos of silverbacks playing with the kids and it’s so funny and exactly how a human father would act.
      Gorillas are so gentle and peaceful, chimps on the other hand? Only other species besides humans to wage organized war on other animals.

    • @suzc862

      Indeed. Some wild chimp groups can be extremely violent & some will travel & kill neighbouring troops.
      The Bonobo are the more peaceful. I still love all primates. Some frighten me, though. Gorillas are my favourite. I see more of the gentler side of human behaviour in them.
