- So happy everyone is safe, but at the end he was like “you forgot your bucket”. Kudos to the parents and their quick response for making sure the kids got out of the situation that could’ve traumatized them if something went wrong. Power of prayer, works!

“Ma’am you forgot your bucket… ahh well… I tried”
😂😂😂
Lmao....you win 😂
Well, that was quite nice of him.
LOL.
He's clearly protecting his territory, but there's a level of trust in his relationship with the Keepers that can't be ignored here. He could have easily gotten through that door before the first gal could have dreamed of being able to shut it. But he just stood there and stared at her.
You’re right, he showed restraint he wanted to let them know that this is his space and he doesn’t want them in it. If he wanted to attack, we would definitely know. He could’ve easily bodied both of them.
somebody doesnt work there anymore
What’d he do with the bucket after? For some reason I feel like he put it infront of the door like “You forgot this!”
Glad they're ok but it's so clear how intelligent gorillas are
He knows it’s his space and he’s more confused about it more than they are scared. He respects them cause they treat him well.
@@ASAPKodyexactly cause best believe if they were treated any-less than , this video would’ve had a completely different outcome , even with the little amount of time he had with them . damage would’ve been critical
Somebody gonna get fired!
hopefully not the gorilla
Lord please don't let the battery die on my phone while I'm recording this
😂
I saw clips of this but never the full footage like this. It’s annoying to see clips, it always leave out the end. Its one of those rare occasions I get to see a full clip.
Seeing the whole video finally made sense instead of the 2 short clips
Link please?
@@goldeneagle99this is the whole video lol. we came from the youtube shorts
@@tobihill_ true lol
Omg would you shut up with the “thank you lord, thank you lord , thank you lord.”
Get real would ya?!
He was just like Hey, you forgot your bucket, lady. 😊
Unfortunately gorillas don’t talk human! However the gorilla controlled the entire situation, knowing something was not right! And he allowed the staffer to leave his space safely! Primates have a lot more human in them, than we give them credit….. probably a lot more human than most humans!
He seemed more alarmed than aggressive,or he would have come directly for the first keeper.
Instead, he hits the box to make noise to scare them,then halts to get a good look at the first keeper.
He then checks for the second one but heads for the window and turns his back to it.
That was him getting both in a position for him to see clearly,turning his head back and forth.
The thing is, at that point, he's not turned toward he second keeper,he moves, and she ducks behind the tree.
He looks for her then,knows she's there,he knows where everyone is.
Then he turns and runs along the wall to the corner.
He did that to herd the keeper to the door because he wanted them gone.
At any moment, he could have easily gotten ahold of either of the keepers.
He could have run the second one down easily before she got to that door.
Instead, he goes for the white bucket looking for chow.
I don't think it was a territorial thing as much as a surprise and his reaction.
But also a territorial response.
Because he first time he stopped to look at the keeper in the door,he put a tree in between them,as protection.
Once he saw who they were,he he recognized them,he knew what they smell like,ect.
Otherwise, I'm betting that if it was a stranger, he would've come for them.
When I would see it as a territorial threat.
I wonder if he had ever seen them in there before,and it freaked him out,lol
I'd not bet my life on any theory about trust or territory.
Yeah we watched the video we know what's going on no need for your expert analysis
@@leehambleton9919 I was glad for this analysis, so keep your opinion to your self.
@@Klonen75 😂😂😂 Tit
He may have sensed fear and was being protective...like he went over to the window to block the one guy who was looking in. And he charged one time...which is a way of breaking up fights and he didn't charge the keepers he just ran buy them. It shows he was on agitated but he stayed back and just watched and then got some food. So it is hard to tell what he was thinking.
When all the silverback wanted to do was return the bucket to the zookeepers, Reminds me of that spongebob episode... "its free balloon day..."
I don't know anything about Gorillas but he was returning the bucket .😅😅
Big respect to the first zookeeper who drew all the attention to herself to distract from the second zookeeper, the gorilla was always focused on her.
Many would have closed the door in fear.
She knows her job, brave, great experience, life saver, give her a leadership position you won't get a better employee.
Also very well filmed, always in the right place.
What an intense scene
He just wanted to play hide and seek
The Zoos practice if an animal escapes but, do they practice if a zoo keeper is in pen with the animal? Zoo keepers here did an excellent job! Thanks for sharing!
God bless the person - Praying for it really helped!
The Zoo Keepers - deserve a big raise! Remember at evaluation time!
By the way - Here is your bucket of food!
The Lord did nothing to help here.
These people studied the science of animal behavior and knew what to do.
The end.
Wer ist auch von Robert hier, weil man endlich mal das Video sehen will 😂
I don't think I'd ever get comfortable enough to not physically check if the wildlife is put away before enterin
He was alarmed by the actions of the two keepers. He showed restraint. Had he wanted to harm them no one could have stopped him.
The parents did well to get the kids away from potential stressful situation they may see.
Head Keeper you are fired.
May the people who prayed for those keepers be truly blessed 🙏♥️
Cringe
@@brandonaireyong why ?
Absolutely. Today's evil liberals only pull out the cameras for clicks.
@@brandonaireyongstop kid
@@mfmfit5922 Cringe
he said "can i go free now ? i did good right?
cmon please"
They look scary and strong he wasn't going to hurt that zookeeper their not that way he was just observing the situation I've never herd a gorilla killing someone ever at a zoo
I had a cousin who worked at the Detroit gorilla enclosure for about 30 years, and got to know as well as possible, and said he'd NEVER want to be face to face with one. The strength they have is so incredible, even if they liked you they could hurt you.
Sir how is it then possible to do gorilla treks in Africa? There’s no barriers and the silverbacks always pass humans straight by with no problems.
It depends whats the relationship with the keeper and gorillas this zookeepers havent been doing the right thing with the ankmals normally the keeper is part of the family and he will never behave like this! Ive seen it at jersey wildlife preservation trust
They were never in any danger. The silverback is wise enough to know he shouldn't hurt his faithful servants. He's just showing them who's boss.
God had nothing to do with it, gorilla understood the situation. He wasn't happy and let them know it. He also got out of the way so she could leave, he even came around the tree forcing her towards the door. He knew how to get her out of his area.
Lol cope
Unless this was a fun and games activity. Any possible outcomes might have come from "any" one of these individuals. You talk of just "one" variable here as an instigator or latter. God's power cannot be quantified or explained from one particular freeze frame or one simple gaze sorted out from one catalyst's emotional state. A mere misunderstanding by one of the party up to this point or "play" would have been enough to change its trajectory real quickly. Three dimensional thinking isn't from the holy of thow. Good day now to you, Mam/Sir.
Look the Food in the Background behind the Glas saved her.
He a Sound With His mouth thats why the Gorilla charger him.
He also did it again zo lure him away.
There IS a little speaker in the left aboventhr glas
@@joshuaa1605Cope with what? Someone else’s delusions? Okay.
Yup there's no god so cope goofy @@joshuaa1605
What’s with this lady and her chanting…like that’s really helping rather than being just plain annoying.
He could give a crap about the zookeepers. He sees them every day. And remember, he's not a tiger. He doesn't stalk prey or eat meat.
He eats bamboo shoots.... maybe lettuce. And he looks like he's guarding the zookeeper from the people behind the glass.
I agree. I think he was just confused (obviously, that is evident) and was wondering why there was no barrier between him and the keepers. By nature, they're not aggressive and again, to me and my laymen's eyes, he was just confused at the situation as he is never in the same area as them without a barrier. He looked very confused and unsure of what to make of it.
Gorilla was startled that he saw them inside his area. He wasnt any threat atany time. He stayed away from them and vigilant. Never charged them once. God had nothing to do with it but the years of building a relationship with the old gorilla...
Gorillas rarely attack humans in the wild, why should that change in captivity? Anyway, very careless of the staff to let that happen.
It often happens that captive animals, or semi tame ones, are more dangerous than wild. Partly lack of fear or respect, partly possible frustration or mental issues from being in captivity. He was used to them being around, but not in that situation, quite probably felt threatened. And even in a bluff charge he could do serious damage without really meaning to. Captive animals don’t automatically love those who tend them.
Captive animals come into more contact with people than wild. More chances for interaction negative or positive.
I mean you already got your answers but yeah, obviously animals are way more stressed in cages. Plus Gorillas are of course quite smart. He didn't feel any anger towards the keepers, good for them.
The easiest situation to understand the difference between "free" and captivity are killer whales. They occasionally kill trainers and such in captivity. Not by accident, because they want to. They don't kill humans in the free. They're also incredibly smart and know exactly what's going on.
Sorry, but power of prayer? Don't you wonder why prayer might save someone but the god you're praying to apparently did not think of making sure she was not put in that situation in the first place? In reality no gods were involved here, trust me.
Tell us more all knowing one.....
And you know this how?
If God intervenes on everything that happens then there is no free will
He is a good boy! Obviously he sees that the woman on the left wants to the scared woman. He looks to her and back and then he gives the woman on the left enough space to get to her. And them he gives them the box back. Like.... but you need this? He is very kind.
1:44 gorilla thinking: 'why my friends are scared'. Come up with idea that it might be because of visitors behind the glass because they usually behave violently. Gets courage, scares visitors, saves friends whom he considers part of his family.
Remember, only 10% of human beings in whole world have "self awareness". Whose 90% have more neurons than gorillas so they can process deeper cognitive functions than gorillas, but not deep enough like whose who have cognitive functions such as: "cognition", "perception", "empathy", "morals", "unconditional love", who are "reciprocal altruists", etc
Elmo was a good boy. he was just trying to play. no aggression at all
I think a girl
It's a silverback you ignorant only males are silverbacks.@@petet4103
@@petet4103 Nope, he's a silverback. Females are smaller and don't have a sagittal crest.
@@sister_bertrille911as long he doesn’t identify himself as a girl
it's an animal...ofc they don't@@ImadogGarcia
Someone’s fired
Let's just hope these aren't the same two who are in charge of cleaning the tiger exhibit (in fairness, I don't know who was responsible for the obvious screw up though; it may not have been one of them). Luckily, Elmo was just (understandably) very confused and perplexed, and by nature isn't prone to aggression if otherwise not threatened. A tiger? Not so much.
Power of prayer? it's called dumb luck.
some dumb zealot want to score...........
Believe what you want infidel
You have unseen demons around you cheering you on
Luck? Nah. Hard work + Blessings. Yes. Luck has never changed Lives. It has to be from somebody who was worked hard or were blessed. Try again! Luck is a scam and makes people lazy.
Maybe it helped, we don't know..
All I could think of was the scene in bad trip where Eric Andre ends up in the gorilla exhibit
He’s a sweetheart he don’t want to hurt anyone aww
The gorilla came from the doorway. It looked as if the let the gorilla out before checking.
They're throwing the zoo keepers that were already on the yard, under the bus.
Im confused I be seeing some zoo keepers be in the cages with the silverbacks playing with them and saying that they dont attack humans. Then i see some videos of zoo keepers acting like the gorillas are chimps and can attack them at any moment
Crikey .. it’s an Irwin 🤨
Elmo surveyed his territory to determine what spooked the women...
Gorilla gave escape to the second girl bur somebody is simply fired because nobody was hurt
He's just trying to play catch and kill. I'm on Zoo's animal side.
In a prison somewhere in the US. But add like 2 million more
That one lady should have removed that stupid mask for one thing
Gorillas will never attack a keeper that take care of them thats strange!
they were never in danger if the gorilla wanted they would be in pieces
haha shit happens...and yes we need fu zoos..of course not!
No eye contact and don't run, just walk
Did you all forget Harambe?
“I think he smells her but I don’t think he sees her”
She have more Luck as brain
All he wanted was the bucket, but you keepers had to add so much drama.
The keepers were fine; it was all the visitors freaking out.
Don't attack people!
Not good in english but a gorilla its nice no?.. a silverback gorilla Can be dangerous only if you are near to his kids no...
Theyre territorial. If you stay calm and dont make noise while not looking them in the eyes your chances of exiting are pretty good. Also smiling at them is a nono. Theyre calm most of the time but if you arent they sure as hell wont be.
@@xara5417 thanks.cool.!
That lady that was praying.. I'm not much for praying or religion. But i'm pretty sure I was praying with her. I also know, I was actually in my head. Telling her to keep doing it and not to stop.
That is 1 video that had me holding my breath and absolutely horrified that Elmo,( That's the wrong name. That is no tickle me Elmo) would hurt somebody.
I don't like Zeus, but I'm also aware that without them. And without sanctuaries, many of these breeds would become extinct by human hand. I wonder why he was so upset today.
Once again, it's people that cause these things.
Get em elmo
why doesn't God help all innocent people ?
because he's not real. people just can't figure out that he was only made up so the world would end up in chaos.
I think the zookeeper also knew what she was doing. But, I’m surprised there isn’t a protocol that gets put in place when something like this happens?
People may get stuck in there from time to time. Isn’t there a procedure to follow to save lives? This zookeeper was on her own.
Do people actually say...oh my gosh...in real life 😂😂😂😂
I do, idk y
@runaraytrain8801 I do too as to not insult God
@@jennyvezina4551 you don't wanna insult someone who doesn't even exist? you're weeeeird.
"Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord." Yes. That's what Elmo was sayin.
That was nothing but experience, knowledge, training, calmness, composure, and intelligence. God had absolutely nothing to do with this. Well done to the Zookeepers, they knew exactly what to do and were always in control.
How? HTF does this happen? Freaking insane
Excuse me! Excuse me you dropped your bucket! W.t.f! 😂
His gorilla friends dared him to scare them
Osmond wake up close flight ✈️ 😊
This is what happens when Texans can't access PHub.😢
Soooo it's going to be a bit awkward in the lunch room
I don’t know who that little lady was that was praying so hard, but I know two other ladies need to be thankful that she was there. A total divine intervention. 🙏🏼
If god was real he wouldn’t have let that happen in the first place. 👻
Yeah OK 👍
Tell that to the millions of others whos prayers weren't answered!
@@Xy-nw4iy and @rabbithole8592 I for one definitely do not have all the answers in the ways of God, but to say either everything must be perfect or else God can’t exist is a simplistic, dangerous and very ignorant way to think. Actually it is human beings that have turned many occurrences into disasters…not God. The “keepers” were at fault in this case in not making sure the gorilla was inside…not God. I believe people use this “excuse” because they know “if God is real” then they will have to change their behavior and the way they live their life. I sincerely pray you seek Him and His truth to change yours before it’s too late. 🙏🏼
God real? God gives us freedom of choice... We don't know if GOD is "real". That's why it's called faith. Have a blessed night
😂😂😂😂
Average day on the streets of Chicago
More like, an average day at a Trump rally, or near the women's dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman's. That guy looked like an albino gorilla.
The lady praying was so moving bless her.
I’m also thankful the Gorilla was not shot or harmed 🙏❤️
sounded like a daughter with her father or family member cant say for certain but her voice sounded very young you hear a man praying more calmly in the background , she was a bit more startled in hers but she still managed to get a good video definitely something they’ll never forget
In 2008 in the Netherlands Bokito, a silverback, escaped in a zoo where he first seriously injured a woman who visited him daily and then went on a rampage in the restaurant, scaring the #### out of the visitors. So they can be quite dangerous.
They're lucky He was as surprised as He was pissed 😂
Lady? You left your bucket!
Estas trabajadoras tuvieron bastante suerte 👍
procedures were not followed.....

How?
AWESOME!!!
frendly gorilla was just returning the bucket
I guess the Gorilla was a Christian.
no, he's not. don't put religion on a animal
Amen 🙏
🙄
The lord didn’t do that, her feet did.
God already knew the outcome of this moment from the beginning of time.
One day, if you are Saved, you can ask Him if and how He impacted this moment.
Perhaps as He did for Daniel in the Lion's den.

@@goldeneagle99exactly people trippin. Gorillas are chill asf. As long as you dont pose a threat they will leave you alone.
Stop imprisoning animals.
aren't they endangered
IN MY VIEW
He certainly had the speed to overpower and grab one of the zookeepers and go after the second. Thank God for people praying.
Amen
Oh god
Gorillas are pacifists and smart. He knows these zookeeper very well no doubt and was never going to hurt them unless they posed some sort of threat.like you said he could have caught them easily but never went near them.Had it been chimps though that's another thing
Are you kidding? lmao people praying had absolutely NOTHING to do with it. What has the power of prayer done for all the people getting killed in warn torn countries? religion is a ridiculous fantasy
@@cheese5376exactly i dont know why everyone in the comments acts like they’re watching a video on baby seals and sharks…. Gorillas are chill asf. They are mot gonna harm you long as you dont pose a threat.
Thank you to the woman that prayed.
Pretty sure they were praying in Auschwitz what good did that do them?
You're right, because God clearly had something to do with them staying alive. I prayed to the tooth fairy.
gullible person alert
You can hear the voice of a beautiful angel praying for her safety and then expressing deep gratitude to God for protecting the keeper still there🙏 Bless your heart, whomever you are👏
bla bla bla
This is why I dont want to work in a zoo. You just never now. Theese are wild animals. Always will be.
The prayers are what saved her
no.
Can we talk about that brave man you can hear wanting to get in and help the ladies? He was willing to risk his own life for theirs, if the other guys would have come with him!
It sounded like he was telling the kids they were gonna go inside so that they dont see anything bad happen to the zoo keepers if something did happen. Only an idiot would think hopping into a silverback gorilla enclosure would de-escalate, theyre territorial/protective not stupid. Adding more people in there would piss it off, she did great keeping quiet, staying calm and got out of there.
@@xara5417 Well you could be right that he was talking to his kids...who knows!
