Özgür Selim Gülder yeah they just totally ignored him

lmao exactly what I was thinking!

@@fritz6462 Well there's a difference between being within a few feet's distance and literally touching. I mean think about it. These animals are MASSIVE. They are not worried about humans a few feet away from them, however, if they are within striking distance they are at a much higher risk. You would be more cautious about a man 2 feet away than a man 20 feet away, yeah? They were dangerously close to the man, even getting as close as to touch him. He needed to stay as still as possible because he didn't want them to get spooked. Far away though, the Gorillas aren't even really concerned about a man. They do dwarf us in size and power after all. They also might be accustomed to people. That does seem to be a walking trail so I wouldn't be surprised if they are pretty fine with humans around.

@Rocky117 that is an interesting explanation thank you but I was kind of confused why they didn’t go near the cameraman but instead chose the guy

Luckily he didn't get jealous of all the attention his mate was giving him :)

Kinda hard to see him as a threat when he can legit rip the man's limbs from their sockets anytime he wanted. 😅 All joking aside this was amazing to see.

Never make eye contact with a silver back, they’ll see it as a threat. Hence why he had his head down.

He knows the human is afraid, even if there is no reason. Such a pity he couldn't find the way back to the nature and interact with them like brothers

Yes😊

That's a thrill of a lifetime, IMO.

So true one of a kind experience for sure

Made me a little nervous though because gorillas can interpret showing teeth as a sign of aggression. Luckily the male was behind him and didn't see.

@@wattsnottaken1 humans are literally apes, not basically apes

Humans aren't apes

That daddy gorilla could’ve squashed him like a bug. What a majestic beautiful beast

Yeah, I liked the fact that the kids took turns to investigate him, all from the same position and in the same manner. And when the last one took too long, he just stood up and walked away, signalling everyone "that's it, kiddos, let's go somewhere else" like a family dad dragging his children through a zoo wanting to rush it because he is bored and looks forward to the BBQ after

@@Puschit1 on to the next exhibit

Silverbacks are wired very specifically to fight other silverbacks trying to steal their harem of females: humans are obviously large apes, which is disturbing and a potential threat to them, but if you stare at the ground and chew on grass it's also easy for them to assume you are some kind of gross hairless beta ape outcast that's trying to join their pod, which is a common thing with mountain gorillas and not a threat at all.

Gorillas in general are chill. Just don't provoke them and you'll be fine. Of course, it being like 5x your weight, caution/fear is still warranted. Its chimps that are psyhcos.

@@springbubble4931 chimps lol 😂

Bro they really are crazy they rip people apart

what the hell is even that

yep Gorillas simply want to be left alone most of the time, but if for whatever reason they are Curious about you, the absolute best thing to do according to experts is to sit down, look at the ground and be VERY meek and still, dont yell or scream, dont run or jump... become the beta, and they will look at you like they did this guy and then move on. Silverbacks only feel challenged when you look them in the face or act threatening.... then they tear you in half.

I think the silverback is guiding the younger gorilla away from potential danger. He is ok with investigating the human from the back, but doesn't want the little one to be in front of him, were the human could potentially grab and bite him.

nah the dad was more like "leave him alone... this is a full fledged bitch"

He even gives the toddler a gentle push in the back after steering him away. Quality.

We *would* be seeing this video, but on Livelea- oh wait. That's gone now...

Making eye contact is indeed often percieved as a provocation by male gorillas, but usually they won't instantly maul you to death because of it, just go into "combat mode" (which is enough to scare the shit out of most humans), preparing for a challenge. This was dangerous because the male had babies with him, and as virtually all animals they're very protective. Staring the silverback down could very easily result in getting bashed to a pulp there. The man knew what to do - make yourself small, be quiet, look away and act disinterested.

no you have to stare them down, exert dominance. same way you have to stare down a grizzly

Yep. And just on the end he said : That is enough ,lets go.

yep plus he was doing his due diligence watching over the whole situation. Just watching the big silverback, you could see he was eyeing the outing very carefully, and even when at the end he was going to leave, he kept an eye on the human just to make sure there weren't any sudden moves or such when he was leaving. That is one HUGE bodyguard.
