I absolutely love the calm, measured, self-assured look in the silverbacks eyes. He knows that if the need arises he can handle whatever comes his way, which makes him so chill..
@stobe187 watch the Umubano Family. The Silverback Charles has a hilarious personality! If a person starts moving too close, Charles won't charge, but he will "run" past the person and push them with his hand or hips....there's always that one person who doesn't follow the Guide's rules and ruins it for everyone else! Charles and his Guide are very close, Charles trusts him and many times will walk up to him and pat his back. It's like he's saying "Thank you for keeping those humans away!" I think of all the Silverbacks, he is the one who shows people that they must respect Gorillas. He will NEVER hurt anyone, he's just trying to warn them to not get too close. I "adopted" him 15yrs. ago at Christmas, and ever since he's my favorite!

I love them too! There aren’t very many of the mountain girls left in the Virunga National Park in Rwanda. 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.
Gorillas are such kind and intelligent beings, they are not aggressive if not provoked. They symbolize a family and the power of the nature. They are our distant cousins and we should protect them, but also respect their privacy.
If they and humans have almost the same 100% genes, then I wonder what happens when human and gorilla have sex. What would the baby be like physically and intelligently?
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.

Something special about observing other intelligent animals interact with each other with the same kinds of emotions humans do.

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.

these gorillas are not the ones you see in captivity. These gorillas are mountain gorillas and non are in captivity because they cannot survive in it. All the gorillas you see it zoos are lowland gorillas.
They’re different species. Mountain gorillas (The ones in this video) are bigger, and a lot hairier. Lowland gorillas on the other hand are smaller and have a more round face.
So true I saw a silver back in the Houston zoo earlier this month...he seemed so depressed in a glass box eating old lettuce he was facing away from everyone probably tired of being looked at all day
@Jamie Nelson any research done on animals kept on zoos gives biased results. Any animal locked up in cage shows obvious signs of stress and psychological disorders. Researches know that very well. Don't confuse conservation parks with zoos. They are totally different things.
@Jamie Nelson You should piss off.. without Humans on this planet, there would be still so many animal species, but human's destroy everything on this planet.. First we destroy animals, then we destroy our forest's, we fill our water source's with plastic junk, and then we finally fire these Nuke misiles over all world.
18:15 this moment when the mother and the baby are staring into each other's eyes must've been one of my favourite parts, if not my favourite altogether.

I am so sorry for your inherent lost of a Mother’s love. Every child deserves the love of their mother and the natural bonding that occurs in the Mother/Child union. I pray life has been good to you regardless.

While Gorillas are fascinating creatures and one of the most similar to humans in many ways,they were created by The Heavenly Father,The Creator of all things good just as we humans were created by Him. Each person,each animal,plant,&insect were created for the purposes of His. If there is not a Creator,&if we as people were not created then what really is the purpose of life and of living???! Why not just take whatever we want and use it all up,&why not do just whatever we want to do that pleases us at any given time if there is no life and no existence,with no one to answer to for hidden things done when this life comes to an end? Something few realize is that every person in created with a body,a soul,&a spirit which grow and change through the years of this life.While the fleshly body returns to dust with time after death,the soul and the spirit both live on and will spend eternity (the next life) in only one of two places,depending on the choices we make and the actions we take in this life. The soul and spirit are what makes each of us whom we are.We will each spend our next life,never ending either with our Creator in God's great city or if we have rejected our Saviour in this life,we will spend the next life away from the Saviour in darkness,pain,regret,&alone in torment. Something a wise one will ask themselves is.....'If this man who believes and obeys The Good Lord and lives his life the best he can live it in service to The Good Lord ends up being wrong in his beliefs,what will he have lost for his mistaken beliefs?' The answer is: He's gained much joy and peace in his life,but he's lost nothing! If,on the other hand one believes there is no Creator and there is no Saviour of man,&he lives his life in whatever ways he chooses while not believing in nor serving God,what will his just rewards be if he is wrong and he dies while never having searched out the truth in all the days God allowed him to live? This man will find himself eternally seperated from God while he suffers alone in pain,torment,®ret. If you look up a man online named Doctor Adrian Rogers who is a now deceased pastor,&listen to what he has to say,it may aid you some in finding the truth. Jeff Schreve is another name to look up online and hear what he has to say. I believe you'll likely be surprised if you only give it a chance.
I am so envious. I would have loved to meet these magnificent animals. It won't happen in my lifetime so videos like this are very important to me. Thank you so much for posting.
Julian Starbuck one guy simply states he wants to see animals and an asshole makes a retarded statement, they’re not pussies you and that guy are just ignorant
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. Edit: 9:03 I'm not surprised he mentioned this very thing.
@@WilbertLek What are you talking about? Are you implying this is fake? Scientists study gorillas for a long time now and we know they don't just attack humans.
Magnificent and beautiful. 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.
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.
@@suzc862 Bonobo’s settle arguments not with violence, but with sex 😂. Unlike chimps where the males dominate the females, the bonobos have females in charge and they solve conflicts through sex😆. It’s amazing how we see glimpses of ourselves in them.
@mj. rock That's a really ignorant statement, animals can love, there's scientific studies about it. Many species even have personalities, if instincts completely ruled their behavior every animal of a species would act the exact same as other of the same specie, for example, there wouldn't be aggressive or calm dogs, because they have the same instincts. You're just really ignorant.
@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?
@@mrwoody1413 Save some money, visit a travel agent, they will make all necessary arrangements for a small fee. A good one can put you anywhere in the world.
My very favorite, the mountain gorilla. They are the gentlest, kindest and most protective of all peoples. The silverback is the leader & hero of the family, using his size & strength to protect all others to the point that he will sacrifice himself for the greater good of his family; if only all men could do the same. 🙏🏼💗🌏
The chest beating sounds so strange. It’s like when you put your hand on a cup or something, sounds very suction-y not what you’d expect it to sound like at all
@King Charles I'd say it's only "sounds" intimidating because we know what it's coming from. I know if I was walking down a street at night and heard this sound (without knowing what it was from) I'd be confused, but not intimidated.
This is a fantastic documentary. I do love gorillas and admire them for their gentleness and their closeness to each other as a family group. Thank you for this vid. More power to you!
Theyre just Incredible animals.. Who would think something so fearsome would be so peaceful. Even after all h poaching that took place in the past. Thank goodness these magnificent creatures are being able to thrive now. Hopefully their numbers continue to grow
There's no record I can find of a wild gorilla ever killing or seriously injuring a human. But given that a silverback weighs in at ~400 lbs and could at least _potentially_ tear you apart like tissue paper... yeah, I'd have to change my drawers too.
All the Gorillas r so precious! ❤. Gentle giants I didn't know this till I watched this wonderful video. Awww so sweet they really r magnificent looking. I wish people would wise up and treat all living beings w/ respect and compassion......all beings r special and humans need to help, protect and have empathy for them......really enjoyed this video so Thank You! 😮😅😊. U guys r all Earth angels.
Wonderful place, fantastic families. So endearing. I'm so happy for what your lifes work, or your guides work anyway has preserved. Thankyou for this. I am concerned why your not wearing masks???? Those gorillas can't tolerate human disease. Protect them More!!!! We have to do all we can, there's only 700 some left in existence? Holy crap.
They treat there babies better then alot of human mothers ,we need to learn better parenting from these gentle gorillas, they never abuse or hit there babies and always hold them close ,very important for humans to learn from .
Oh, that mother and baby looking into each other's eyes like that, just melted me into a puddle. How lovely! She was jiggling her wee baby with the same love and movements we all automatically do. I've found myself doing it with dolls!
Great documentary! I’m gathering sources and notes for a thesis I’m doing on Gorillas and this came in great handy. Wonderful and beautiful footage as well!
Gorillas are my favourite out of all apes. There is something in them that strongly reminds me of humans (especially here: 7:36), even chimps and orangutans don't resemble us as much as these guys do. They are like bigger, stronger, more hairy and more badass version of us.
I've just watched this documentary for the second time and I loved it even more the second time. I will never get bored of watching such incredible beauty 🦍❤
Sad state of humanity these days, that a being related to us is more human than us!!! Hope we never loose them as a source of check in to sanity and true love!
So nice to see them in the wild like that, they absolutely are healthier looking than gorillas kept in captivity, their coats, skin, their weight, just look healthier ,which is a good thing 💯🥰🦍
@@angelhighlight5154 Eye of the beholder I guess. I think they're awesome looking, and the babies are adorable. Makes me wonder what you think is beautiful.

As calm and beautiful as these animals are, they are can be savage. There are plenty of caretakers who have had their bodies torn apart but above all they are very calm and loving animals.
@boy Afrika Yes, there are. Please don't respond with stupid shit before you decide not to research your rebuttal to someone's comment. There are people who have had their faces ripped off, fingers eaten and more. Most are gentle but it's not to mistake the fact that they are wild animals, don't be ignorant.
@boy Afrika there has been only 1 incident of a gorilla killing a human and it happened in 1910 a man in uganda was suspended in the air with one arm and had his head torn from his body something like this dosent even sound real it sounds like something you will hear in a resident evil game or a movie but that actually did happen a gorilla actually picked someone up and ripped his head from his body if you dont believe me look it up

The gorillas in the wild are so healthy looking compared to all the gorillas I see in captivity.
these gorillas are not the ones you see in captivity. These gorillas are mountain gorillas and non are in captivity because they cannot survive in it. All the gorillas you see it zoos are lowland gorillas.
They’re different species. Mountain gorillas (The ones in this video) are bigger, and a lot hairier. Lowland gorillas on the other hand are smaller and have a more round face.
They eat organic
And they are probably stressed out in zoo’s. Idk about gorillas but many animals lose patches of hair when stressed for long periods.
So true I saw a silver back in the Houston zoo earlier this month...he seemed so depressed in a glass box eating old lettuce he was facing away from everyone probably tired of being looked at all day
I cant understand how they keep theese great animals in zoos so depressing
We lock people in cages for possessing a harmless plant
So people wont kill them....
@Jamie Nelson any research done on animals kept on zoos gives biased results. Any animal locked up in cage shows obvious signs of stress and psychological disorders. Researches know that very well. Don't confuse conservation parks with zoos. They are totally different things.
@Jamie Nelson You should piss off.. without Humans on this planet, there would be still so many animal species, but human's destroy everything on this planet.. First we destroy animals, then we destroy our forest's, we fill our water source's with plastic junk, and then we finally fire these Nuke misiles over all world.
alright lets leave them all out in the wild so they get poached LOL
18:15 this moment when the mother and the baby are staring into each other's eyes must've been one of my favourite parts, if not my favourite altogether. I myself am very close to my mother and seeing this reminded me of my bond with her. It is truly mesmerising, the relationship between a mother and her child.
I've not known that between my mom and I. Value it if u got it. She was cold. Is cold.
I am so sorry for your inherent lost of a Mother’s love. Every child deserves the love of their mother and the natural bonding that occurs in the Mother/Child union. I pray life has been good to you regardless.
You're eyes looked into your mother's face. Franklin's Tower Robert Hunter.. Yes that was moving praises blessings respectfully Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️

This just blew my mind how amazing they are and this is great video and I’m watching it on a 50 inch so it’s like I’m there and they look so unique and amazing! thank you for creating this and sharing it for us to watch on TH-cam. Can you imagine living in your own world and never see any part of the world and just be happy living in the trees, knowing nothing of stress or any danger just worried about your little colony or tribe.
Such beautiful amazing creatures.
Creatures? Don't u mean ancestors.
Nope, that's what the system feeds you. Where is all the in between monkey - humans... If we evolved why did all the species in between cease to exist with no bone or body discoveries. Rumors and lies spread quick son.

I watched documentaries about Koko lately and she even learned sign language and was able to ask for a cat pet. It blew my mind and I realized how close they are to us, their intelligence is underrated by most of us
While Gorillas are fascinating creatures and one of the most similar to humans in many ways,they were created by The Heavenly Father,The Creator of all things good just as we humans were created by Him. Each person,each animal,plant,&insect were created for the purposes of His.
If there is not a Creator,&if we as people were not created then what really is the purpose of life and of living???! Why not just take whatever we want and use it all up,&why not do just whatever we want to do that pleases us at any given time if there is no life and no existence,with no one to answer to for hidden things done when this life comes to an end?
Something few realize is that every person in created with a body,a soul,&a spirit which grow and change through the years of this life.While the fleshly body returns to dust with time after death,the soul and the spirit both live on and will spend eternity (the next life) in only one of two places,depending on the choices we make and the actions we take in this life.
The soul and spirit are what makes each of us whom we are.We will each spend our next life,never ending either with our Creator in God's great city or if we have rejected our Saviour in this life,we will spend the next life away from the Saviour in darkness,pain,regret,&alone in torment.
Something a wise one will ask themselves is.....'If this man who believes and obeys The Good Lord and lives his life the best he can live it in service to The Good Lord ends up being wrong in his beliefs,what will he have lost for his mistaken beliefs?' The answer is: He's gained much joy and peace in his life,but he's lost nothing!
If,on the other hand one believes there is no Creator and there is no Saviour of man,&he lives his life in whatever ways he chooses while not believing in nor serving God,what will his just rewards be if he is wrong and he dies while never having searched out the truth in all the days God allowed him to live? This man will find himself eternally seperated from God while he suffers alone in pain,torment,®ret.
If you look up a man online named Doctor Adrian Rogers who is a now deceased pastor,&listen to what he has to say,it may aid you some in finding the truth. Jeff Schreve is another name to look up online and hear what he has to say. I believe you'll likely be surprised if you only give it a chance.

@@PrussianFrost I don't think he wants to see them in a enclosed small zoo, he's probably talking about seeing their group in a natural habitat
@cloudykai it's a joke pussies
Julian Starbuck one guy simply states he wants to see animals and an asshole makes a retarded statement, they’re not pussies you and that guy are just ignorant
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.
Edit: 9:03 I'm not surprised he mentioned this very thing.
Too bad they have him locked up in a zoo
Wow... it’s amazing that they can just walk around the gorillas and the gorillas don’t even care one bit, they just do whatever they usually do...
Never treat a Hollywood movie as a nature documentary.....
It's rather curious indeed that apes exhibit this nonchalant behaviors. Even the smaller types. Go to a zoo and see how they ignore you to death.
Chimps would tear you apart
@@WilbertLek What are you talking about? Are you implying this is fake? Scientists study gorillas for a long time now and we know they don't just attack humans.
@@Thesngianno he's saying Hollywood makes them out to be killing beasts, when in reality they're cool as a cucumber
Magnificent and beautiful.
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.
♥️
Lovely, precious moment! 🤗🦍💝
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.
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.
@@suzc862 Bonobo’s settle arguments not with violence, but with sex 😂. Unlike chimps where the males dominate the females, the bonobos have females in charge and they solve conflicts through sex😆. It’s amazing how we see glimpses of ourselves in them.
I so loved how Charlie explains the mother holding the baby with so much love
@mj. rock Animals actually do feel love, and many animales are not just instinct-driven
@mj. rock and what is love?
@mj. rock ok, cool. But what is love exactly?
@mj. rock That's a really ignorant statement, animals can love, there's scientific studies about it. Many species even have personalities, if instincts completely ruled their behavior every animal of a species would act the exact same as other of the same specie, for example, there wouldn't be aggressive or calm dogs, because they have the same instincts. You're just really ignorant.
@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?

My very favorite, the mountain gorilla. They are the gentlest, kindest and most protective of all peoples. The silverback is the leader & hero of the family, using his size & strength to protect all others to the point that he will sacrifice himself for the greater good of his family; if only all men could do the same. 🙏🏼💗🌏

Is it just me or does Charles remind anyone else of Will Farrel in Land of the Lost.

Beautiful documentary. Amazing species.
The chest beating sounds so strange. It’s like when you put your hand on a cup or something, sounds very suction-y not what you’d expect it to sound like at all
Pop pop pop pop!
@King Charles I'd say it's only "sounds" intimidating because we know what it's coming from. I know if I was walking down a street at night and heard this sound (without knowing what it was from) I'd be confused, but not intimidated.
I find it so crazy how they allow humans to chills near them even though they're soooo powerful hierarchy based.
Yeah, their ferocity is just being exaggerated, gorillas are just really peaceful creatures unless they feel threatened.

This is a fantastic documentary. I do love gorillas and admire them for their gentleness and their closeness to each other as a family group. Thank you for this vid. More power to you!
Theyre just Incredible animals.. Who would think something so fearsome would be so peaceful. Even after all h poaching that took place in the past. Thank goodness these magnificent creatures are being able to thrive now. Hopefully their numbers continue to grow
A great documentary. Really held my attention and I thoroughly enjoyed watching these wonderful animals. Nicely done. This is a keeper.
The guy from hangover really can do anything. Much respect
The guy at 13:40 looks petrified then a few seconds later you see him hiding behind a tree.
that guy is in the wrong line of business lol
Pretty sure he’s more comfortable in the area than the people “documenting”, he wasn’t hiding behind the tree looks like he stepped back to lean on it
Lol is just look like he was told to get out the scene
That gorilla specialist is the greatest! He absolutely loves his job! It’s pretty awesome!
Imagine trying to do a documentary on tigers and trying to get this close with them. It’d never go down this smooth lol
😂😂😂
Felines and primates are different mammals. Gorillas are so similar to humans that they see us as just a unique type of ape.
In gorilla society: "we found your nose print all over the crime scene"
If a Silverback charges towards me beating its chest I think I'd piss myself.
ok pussy
Nomad it's best to non aggressively stand ur ground! Then assess ur situation keeping ur exit options open!
There's no record I can find of a wild gorilla ever killing or seriously injuring a human.
But given that a silverback weighs in at ~400 lbs and could at least _potentially_ tear you apart like tissue paper... yeah, I'd have to change my drawers too.
Nomad Black AS YOU SHOULD

When I saw the mother locking into the eyes of her baby, I feal tears in my eyes...Gorillas are so amazing and beautiful...i really love them !

I love that he explained as much as he could, what he thought there actions ment. That makes it even more fascinating. Thank u:))
This is an amazing documentary. In the end, he said that he rediscovered his own humanity through the gorillas. They are such wonderful animals.
Wonderful place, fantastic families. So endearing. I'm so happy for what your lifes work, or your guides work anyway has preserved. Thankyou for this.
I am concerned why your not wearing masks???? Those gorillas can't tolerate human disease. Protect them More!!!!
We have to do all we can, there's only 700 some left in existence? Holy crap.
They treat there babies better then alot of human mothers ,we need to learn better parenting from these gentle gorillas, they never abuse or hit there babies and always hold them close ,very important for humans to learn from .
I dunno what human mothers you’v been around!! Utter Skum and jailed woman should be who don’t look after babies the right way
The big silverback reminds me of my dad laying around and chillin while all the grandkids play around him. 😂😂😂
Yeah my cat follows me around everywhere and makes a documentary about me, which will run on cat channel.
Oh, that mother and baby looking into each other's eyes like that, just melted me into a puddle. How lovely! She was jiggling her wee baby with the same love and movements we all automatically do. I've found myself doing it with dolls!

Great documentary! I’m gathering sources and notes for a thesis I’m doing on Gorillas and this came in great handy. Wonderful and beautiful footage as well!
Gorillas are my favourite out of all apes. There is something in them that strongly reminds me of humans (especially here: 7:36), even chimps and orangutans don't resemble us as much as these guys do. They are like bigger, stronger, more hairy and more badass version of us.
I absolutely love gorillas the number 1 animal to me on this planet.. my 2nd would be the Bengal tiger
I've just watched this documentary for the second time and I loved it even more the second time. I will never get bored of watching such incredible beauty 🦍❤
Sad state of humanity these days, that a being related to us is more human than us!!! Hope we never loose them as a source of check in to sanity and true love!
So nice to see them in the wild like that, they absolutely are healthier looking than gorillas kept in captivity, their coats, skin, their weight, just look healthier ,which is a good thing 💯🥰🦍
Simplly heautiful beings. Really incredible. It must be unreal to just sit with them.

The gorillas remain so positive despite their high levels of homelessness and unemployment. We can truly learn a great deal from these furry bastards.

As calm and beautiful as these animals are, they are can be savage. There are plenty of caretakers who have had their bodies torn apart but above all they are very calm and loving animals.
@boy Afrika Yes, there are. Please don't respond with stupid shit before you decide not to research your rebuttal to someone's comment.
