    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. It's amazing that they let us witness them so close; they deserve our respect!

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.

      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.

    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.

    I could watch these beautiful majestic creatures all day long. They are so fascinating and enjoyable to watch. Something special about observing other intelligent animals interact with each other with the same kinds of emotions humans do. Their gentle and peaceful nature, and capacity for empathy, compassion, love, and playfulness fills me with joy. They are surely less aggressive than some humans are, and have twice the heart.

    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 💯🥰🦍
