- Gorilla Chases Stray Dog That Entered Enclosure at San Diego Zoo
A gorilla was recorded chasing after a stray dog that managed to enter its enclosure at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California, on June 12.
Video recorded by Desteniey Pickett shows a dog running from one side of the enclosure to the other, as a large gorilla named Frank stomps closely behind.
The two animals engage in a cat-and-mouse chase for a majority of the video, as onlookers can be heard shouting the gorilla’s name in hopes of distracting the ape. A zookeeper can be seen later in the video throwing in feed from above the habitat, also with the intention of distracting the gorilla.
“I was worried the silverback was going to grab the dog,” Pickett told Storyful. “I was very anxious the entire time, waiting for employees to come.”
According to a KUSI journalist, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park made a statement saying the dog was “successfully removed and no Safari Park animals, staff, or guests were harmed.”
Local news reported that the dog was a shepherd with no microchip, and he was currently being held on stray hold as they searched for a potential owner.

The gorilla didn't want to hurt the doggo, he just wanted it off his property. Kind of like a grumpy old man.
For sure!
The main troop (Winston family) was in the back bedrooms behind the tan wall. The gorillas that were out in the enclosure were Franklin (Frank 13) and Monroe (11) part of the Winston family, a bachelor troop. Both are still considered "black backs". Even though Frank is still a boy he is 400lbs (his dad Paul Donn 450+lbs) and if Frank really wanted to catch the dog he would have, rest assured. I've followed Frank since he was born, and knowing his personality he just wanted to chase the dog out of the enclosure mostly. Looking at the video there are periods where both Frank and the dog stop and stare at each other. Frank is fairly light on his feet, and can move fast. I've seen him sprint on a whim, and run at top speeds. He could have very easily pounced on the dog when the dog stopped running, but he certainly did not. Captive born gorillas behave a bit differently from those born in the wild. Though he is still a wild animal Frank is rather "domesticated" and loves his amenities and treats 😆. That is why he said forget the dog, the keeper is calling me 🤣. It may not look like it by his sheer massive size, but Frank's actually got a rather cheeky, and loving personality:

Absolutely agree with everything you said!!
I agree. Frank looks like he's just assessing the situation. I did not see Monroe--he as probably waiting in the background waiting for Frank's instructions. That's what big bros do.
@@yvonnejones9940 Here's a different video with Monroe:
th-cam.com/video/W8uWzu_DwLw/w-d-xo.html
I think Monroe went in when called. Frank was just trying to get the dog out. As you can see from the video Frank stops when the dog stops. If Frank wanted to really catch the dog he would have, but my teen boy was skeptical of the 4 legged fido. Wow just think about it. Frank probably had never seen a 🐩 dog and up close. Gorillas do not attack unless absolutely necessary. Frank's personality...well he eventually came when called because he'd much rather have his delicious treats than be running after a UFO (unidentified fido object) in the hot sun 😂. Man, I love me some 💙 Frank and Monroe!
Exactly, If he wanted him he would've had him. All the human screaming doesn't help though, ever.
@@harleydad1975 Agreed. It is rather noisy.
Thanks for posting this. Had to wade through thirteen news stories to find a raw video.
If that dog can find his way into that enclosure then that Gorilla can find his way out.
Not necessarily. A dog jumping down is a lot easier than a gorilla jumping up.
@@ckgoogl but can't the gorrila fly?
It’s in California, what do you expect.
1st - How does a dog get in zoo ??
2nd - Then in gorilla exhibit??
3rd- Where in the he🏑🏑 is the ZOO KEEPER !!!
No... WHY & WHERE THE HELL ARE FRANKLIN'S/FRANKY'S OWNERS???? DA FUQ?!!!!!
@@MaddSlasher oh! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can see the zoo keeper at the top of the enclosure throwing down food to distract the gorilla
Probably the most entertainment the gorilla has had for a while. Plus the dog got away so all in all a great outcome.
All these people screaming might just be convincing and reinforcing to the gorillas that the dog might be a threat. Other apes and primates will make a bunch of noise to warn about snakes or other threats. Don’t know about gorillas but this is just an altogether dangerous situation.
i assumed a gorilla finding an intruder would be more violent
Gorillas usually just pacifists
@@ilcastigapsicopaticimeridi29 What?
Man that dog's chances of adoption just went up
Watt oh shut up
How did thé dog managed to get there ?
That’s a pretty impressive bird call.
This is at The SAFARI PARK not the zoo
The silverback probably thought the dog was a predator
Culture shock for the gorilla, advanced physical being
poor gorilla... what a stupid name for such a majestic beast. franklin
that GS is in a heap of Gorilla doo doo...lol
Well now we know gorillas cannot catch a dog
"They have to get that gorilla like, away" Well they shouldn't have that gorilla there in the first place!
What a hero.
The gorilla was born there.
Franklin Looks more happier with the gorillas!
Franklin is the gorilla. They were trying to distract it.
Franklin is the silverback gorilla lol
I saw it on the news and I was laughing my @SS off! Lmao
Yes it is....
This is NOT the San Diego Zoo
Where is it then ?.
You're right it was joe Biden's backyard

Thank you.
Omg the gorillas must be terrified...
That dogs should be renamed
HOUDINI !
This is proof that a gorilla would destroy a wolf in combat!! I know they don't actually fight but I think a lot of people would agree with me that if that German Shepherd decided to attack it would get destroyed it's also kind of contradicts the leopard thing where apparently gorillas are more afraid in certain scenarios well as we can see this isn't just some old dog it's a German Shepherd and apparently they can beat wolves sometimes and wolves are pretty much predators obviously dogs aren't predators but the gorilla could have perceived a dog as one and didn't show any signs of fear it was even bold enough to try and throw some sand at it and when the dog got closer it barely showed any reaction and was ready for anything!!! Like I said they don't really fight each other I think we can all agree the gorilla clearly isn't scared which definitely increases its chances of victory to be honest the dog was likely playing around but the gorilla clearly wasn't and perceived it as a threat and like I said it was even bold enough to throw sand at it and even try to chase it down when it left so this is kind of proof that when faced with potential predators like a beer or a lion or something like that the gorilla definitely wouldn't hesitate and who knows maybe that can be seen as a strategy throwing sand to your opponent's eye would definitely blind them and would give you a decent advantage when fighting I'm making note of this because gorillas are heavily underrated believe it or not people think they would lose to almost every other animal with claws even a lot smaller ones in the main argument is that they're rather peaceful and would even rather run away which is the main explanation for why they apparently get bodied by leopards since they don't even try to fight back most of the time but clearly this video contradicts that what makes it even more impressive is that this gorilla likely has never grown up in a wild before and yet it showed no signs of fear when confronting a potential predator so imagine how a wild gorilla would act make an even more unlikely that leopards really go after and can even kill fully adult gorillas it also gives the gorilla a decent advantage when fighting a lion or a bear because it definitely wouldn't run away and it will even throw sand in the enemies face which could definitely increases it's odds of victory since if aimed correctly the opponent will probably go blind but anyway the point is they didn't actually fight so we can argue all day who would win you already know who I'm siding with but we should definitely keep in mind the gorillas aren't cowardly and will definitely confront the intruder or any potential threat
I agree you are speaking fax 👍 apart from German shepherds beating adult grey wolves but still I see your point.
Also let's tall about how fast Gorillas are the gorilla was running very fast when it was chasing the dog. Gorillas can run as fast as trained athletes. It's amazing.
A grizzly, however, would destroy a gorilla. Leopards literally hunt gorillas, and even kill silverbacks sometimes (and silverbacks return the favor-it’s about a 50/50 proposition). Grizzlies are five to ten times bigger than a leopard.
@@eliteteamkiller319 Nope leopards don't hunt Silverback gorilla they hunt female and juvenile gorilla. The only times a leopard has ever killed a silveback gorilla was by ambush at night time when Gorilla was asleep and couldn't see. I have cases of Gorilla fighting back and killing leopards. I've also debunked a case of black panther killing a Silverback gorilla. So in reality a Silverback gorilla claps a leopard.
But of course a grizzly bear would demolish a gorilla no doubt about that grizzly bear even claps tigers and lions.
@@basedmonke3385 I literally just read a peer reviewed study from the American Journal of Primatology in which it was "strongly suspected" that three male gorillas which were found dead, including two silverbacks (one was in poor health, but the other not), were killed by leopard predation.
I mean they looked at the bodies. They saw the marks. It's possible they died of poison or something, but those corpses had leopard bite and claw marks on them.
The study is "Social Structure and Life-History Patterns in Western
Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)." Your thoughts?
.
.
.
And i didn't say silverbacks never killed leopards. I said it's probably a 50/50 proposition, with both killing each other a good possibility. Gorillas do not have body armor, dude. If the leopard gets its teeth in the gorilla, that's not a good thing my man.
.
.
Also, I'm not so sure a grizzly would always beat a tiger (Siberian, anyway). They are not that different in size, and cats are better designed for killing, to be frank.
@@eliteteamkiller319
Once again it doesn't matter if there is a case of a leopard killing a Silverback gorilla because it's 99% of the time by ambush and at night time. Plus gorillas are way larger and stronger a 180-200 kg gorilla is clapping a leopard which is half that size face to face yes gorillas have thin skin but they won't die from getting a few scratch marks and it's going to be difficult trying to reach the vital areas of a gorilla face to face.
Do you remember the raccoon that got into the gorilla closure it didn’t work out too well for the raccoon !
How come to humans are rooting for the dog over the gorilla when gorillas are far closer to humans on the evolutionary tree?
Well this was a VERY interesting ordeal
Am I the only one wanted gorilla to catch ‘em
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I think they should have let the dog stay in the enclosure and fed them all. Gorillas aren't territorial and don't really harm other species. There are gorillas living with deer and they get along just fine.
That dog's a$$ was only moments away from being grass. Gorillas are fiercely dangerous, territorial animals. Had he attacked that dog, he would have most certainly tried to killed it.
bullshit they are clam gentle animals they can be dangerous only when really threatened stop thinkin gorillas are like chimps
Not quiet lol, they can be but they're peaceful most of the time
Gorillas are usually calm and collected buddy, even around humans. He would have only attacked the dog if it provoked him which it didn’t.
🐕🦺💩
🤣
Oh my gosh I hope something doesn’t happen to the dog.
He's fine they were able to get the dog. He has no tags or chips. They decided to name him Mighty Joe because of this
The gorilla is trying to chase the dog it's also afraid of the dog hahaha 🤣🤣
why just film why not seperate them and get the dog out?
You want the zoo visitors to hop into the enclosure and separate them?
She was doing all she could, he was calling his name trying to distract him
They don't work there
What exactly was she suppose to do 😂 jump in there and grab the dog lol
I agree she should have done something,!?! She should have ran towards the silverback and knock him out with a flying knee like masvidal when he slept Ben askren.... !! And joe rogan would have screamd:,,oooh hes hurt, hes hurt. (The fight clock is sponsored by modelo)
Lunch meat
You know times are rough when dogs get into zoo enclosure…… not sure but I’m sure L.A zoo never had any issues like this ……. Besides L.A is better anyway lol
The gorilla was vigalant dog disturb es slumber but gorrila thinking its nice to see a different animal in es kingdom but gorilla made it known to dog off my territory
