Every time I see them they're eating something so that probably explains a little. Plus their brain doesn't use as much energy as ours.

​@@JamesPeach Please, brain consumes at best 10% of calories. And we are speaking while intelectual work out. Those terminators simply transforms grass into living muscle power.

@@Moskuito2222 I looked up a video. They're able to turn most of the plants they eat into protein. While humans can only benefit from about 60%. They also eat for about 8 hours a day. Human stomachs couldn't handle that much intake even if we tried.

You were fed lies about yourself since birth, that's why you don't understand, do YOUR OWN RESEARCH

They can digest cellulose and we cannot.

“Hey everybody! Smokey’s takin a sh*t.”😂

lol finally a funny comment

Or maybe you're just a mammal like them and we all have relatively similar behaviors.

They do use words, and body language. They probably communicate better, than humans.

Humans don't have that much humanity

I wish people would stop associating an animals feelings and intellect as human or humanish. We aren't the only ones who can communicate. They are Gorillas communicating the way Gorillas communicate.

Better than humans

Money, give them more money

I wish I had that, too.

I wish that they had more space and toys to play with as well

they dont realyl do that in the wild though. They normally go find a place and sit

Yes, and it would be nice to have vines growing up the walls instead of just the cold, sterile, bare concrete enclosure. Not to criticize the zoo but it would just look much nicer for the animals and visitors.

It’s not a human thing as plenty of animals show affection after fighting, even cats and dogs. It’s more of a mammal thing.

@@aj897yep

Most mothers are like that.

yeah if they're not killing their own children...@@sandraphillips1718

You nailed it. I saw the same thing.

@@charmainejones5620 👍

@@bigboytoyz541 men understand because they train boys to be men. Silverbacks teach black backs. Let's the females know also.

Yes I most definitely agree.

Kiyamosaa needs to be moved or he's going to beat the shit otta Shabani Soo n

😂😂

Shabani better watch his back as the boys may jump him unexpectantly.

Word I always stress to ppl we don’t have to talk every damn second sometimes it ok to be quiet

I agree ...it's remarkable imo of how deeply Shabani feels for the family with just the proper amount of discipline & love..

Your so right dude

Maybe we re just ape like instead

Annie was by shabani's side the whole time, she wasn't supporting kyomasa. She always stays with shabani.

Kiyo is a black back. He won't reach silverback status for many years.

@@tracey9116 kyo is 11, so he will be a silverback within two years. But I know what you are saying, he won't be fully grown for quite a while.

A lesson for the rest of us....

They are animals. So are we. Not only both us and gorillas are animals, we are also mammals! We are also apes! Imagine that :D

Zoos are a difficult concept because they can so easily and often do become abusive, but many zoos also provide amazing environment conservation efforts. For example, the California Condor would have never been able to recover from extinction if there werent individuals in zoos they could recover the population from. Hopefully, it wont come to such a drastic measure for these gorillas and all the other highly threatened apes in our world :(

What your not realizing now is the poaching. Its to the point where most animals that are being poached are close to becoming extinct. Sad just disgustingly sad.

They’re better off in captivity

Anywhere else they would look like heads on a platter, these guys are perfectly fine here....

but is it their dream?

I wish my situation would have got resolved but it did not I had to come home crying as usual😢 so happy that Father and Son worked their problems I wondered differences

LMAO the boss in a cage. Keep dreaming zoo lover, you’re part of the problem.

What did u do?

@@Reachland02 I was apart of many conspiracies …

This habitat is an absolute shame. That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the inside, it looks like a prison.

Nope, he submitted to his father as he should.

​@@charmainejones5620 Either way, it was nice.

@@pigtailsandteddybears yes it was. Kiyo learning from his dad how to be a leader of the family when you have a growing son.

@@charmainejones5620 I'm excited to see Kiyo as a father.

@@pigtailsandteddybears me also. He's got a good teacher.

They got a solution for them if they don’t get along. You really don’t believe that these gorillas are happy, do you ? They’re definitely drugged up.

I been saying the same thing. I would love for Shabani to have more babies ❤️

You nailed what I've been thinking! ❤

Putting a mother and daughter in the same group is a bad idea anyway. Same goes for sisters. Neither one seems to work. Just bad decision making from the beginning.

Shaban probably was intimate with Ai one time about 10 years ago. Also, Shabani stopped banging Nene around 2018. Shabani is the best father & troop leader. Finding Shabani a real wife should be this zoo's top priority!

@@bigboytoyz541 Like Tayari and Iriki. I'm surprised they are still together but D'jeeco seems to handle them pretty well.

I was there the dad they shot your dad rip harambe

Well they are the third closest related to us on the planet after bonobos and chimps

What I can learn from gorillas? I can learn only about them, but not from them my guy 😂

​ @highflybirdy851 Mate I didn´t studied Gorillas to extend that I would give You whole presentation. But I can humbly say, the way You see in this video how they non-verbally but clearly communicated. They show frustration non-verbally and it´s clear sign of inteligent behaviour. They are fully present in their bodies and minds. They don´t yell, atleast in this video at each other while there is building tension like most humans do. So it´s really Inspiring, how they move, and how they are approaching that space and situations. Completely differently, but it is their way of nature. That Gorilla father was caring for it´s children, doesn´t want them to hurt, but there was some sort of conflict, but it ended in happy interaction. Plus every aspect of nature as we all are part of. Is potential always to learn more also about our- selves. For example I give You : The airplanes has construction of wings like eagle does. It is exactly blue-printed, learned from Them. Because they are absolutely respected for their speed, aerodynamics, sharp instincts. Absolutely staggering. So obviously people who knows this, has taken this to engineering. it is absolutely working. Less turbulance More Energy saving Better Aerodynamics. More Safety for Us. You can find theese on internet if you want proof.

Learn what? What kind of 'profound' life lesson are you trying to teach us?

💯I really hope Shabani has a chance for more children. He’s a great dad, wonderful genetics as you say, and I think he will be crushed when his present children mature and leave the family nest. I feel like Shabani’s zest for life comes from his children and he will be very unhappy without a little one in his troop. Hope he can somehow have another baby or two soon! 🦍♥️

@@gorillabff1003 Shabani's father had many offspring. I wish the same for Shabani as well. I've followed many of the well known gorilla's lineages for many years and it seems that many of the old schoolers like Shabani's father had 2-3 mates. They reproduced more, it seems. Shabani has multiple half siblings. It seems with the current gorilla silverbacks, ages 21-30, they only have 2 offspring each. Of course they're still young in gorilla years, like Shabani, but Nene is older and probably won't reproduce again. It's usually between ages 21-25 before the silverbacks have their 1st offspring. I give Nene and AI props as well because gorilla mamas are just as important.

That is a very theatrical gibbon at that zoo. When I first heard that, it scared me. I kept wondering why some man was screaming. 😂 I think there's videos of this same gibbon on here. I'm convinced he likes theatricality and entertainment. ❤

I also thought it was a man screaming . 😂😂😂

Thanks you for the information. I to thought it was someone screaming. Trying to bother the gorillas 🤭👍

@@sandraphillips1718 me too, not for the first time LMAO

@@pigtailsandteddybearsSomeone on here was gracious enough to introduce me to the Gibbon in the background. Like you I thought someone was in distress. It’s the funniest thing 😂.

they're in japan honey. What they've got is the most natural they're gonna get over there.

@@VVinterl3ear very true

@@VVinterl3earthey should at least plant some cherry trees. Have the Gorillas see some beauty.

You are conflating what *you* would want to see and expect from a gorilla enclosure to what gorillas actually prefer

Unfortunately these loving guidelines won't last long. Soon shabani and kyomasa will start fighting.

Humans as a species and collectively are better than animals. A human who displays animalistic behavior should be labeled as such. Also, even if what you are saying were to be true, animals don’t care if we “insult” them because they do not have the cognitive ability to comprehend slurs and comparisons.

@@bigboytoyz541 yes agree, he's already testing his dad Shabani. ❤️

@@petemunoz7641 take a chill pill, it's my opinion and we all have a right to that being humans? I prefer animals to alot of human beings. I also don't agree with the animalistic behaviour part of your comment as humans who murder or are paedophiles are monsters, not animals. And I'm not stupid enough to think that animals know we're insulting them with words.

Gorillas have no true concept of greed and selfishness. They’re very peaceful creatures. Look at Chimpanzees. You begging to understand that as we understand morality more, we end up choosing the bad options.

I was just wondering if it was a good time to try to start finding another placement for the son. I think maybe a couple more years and the tension will grow. What a disturbing scene and thought. I wish they could go back to the wild and live more naturally.

Not always, they have to keep strong males around so that they have a replacement for the alpha silverback when he gets old, sometimes groups have multiple silverbacks, in the future kiyomasa will challenge and replace shabani as alpha silverback and that is likely where the tension comes from shabani knows that kiyomasa is the strongest challenger to his leadership and the control of the food supply and who gets to eat first is decided by the alpha silverback, so tensions will arise where food is concerned and also with control of the females of the group.

@@MetalxxDragoness There is no need, there always comes a point at which the alpha silverback is challenged and replaced by another regardless if it is his son or not, if they were in the wild and got rid of the son and did not have another strong male to replace the silverback then it could lead to the whole group disbanding and going to join other groups or their entire group being absorbed into a stronger rival group, the alpha silverback has a job and when he gets too old or weak he has to be retired and replaced that is just the fact of reality.

What started the fight between father & son? Did son challenge the Dad? The father never backed down, constantly perused the son. It’s like when human teenagers start to rebel but need to be put in their place. Time for son to go to a bachelor group!

Most underrated comment

If the humans that put these animals into these enviroments had to endure the same themselves we would not have this.

I was just thinking the same thing...

Come on man don’t compare prisoners to these literal apes

oooo someone got laid in college 🙃

You made nene sound black.Tf bruh. They gotta be black because they’re gorillas ? Racist

I didn't even notice that bit at 5:42! Loved seeing how she carried herself with her dad there. Thanks for pointing that out❤❤❤
