- Louis is not like his fellow playmates. The gorilla has been a star at the Philadelphia Zoo for the past 14 years, but new videos have brought him nationwide attention. Weighing in at a hefty 470 pounds and standing at nearly six feet tall, the 18-year-old gorilla prefers to stand on two legs rather than on all fours. Don Dahler reports.

Nah... That's how they really walk when they think no one is watching
This one is a trape
Quick Andy’s home 🦍
this cannot be true, ive seen gorillas on night cams and they continue to walk on all fours, for you to make such a senseless statement blows my mind
@@Oh_geezzz good one 🤣🤣👏🏽
@@youcantconvinceamoronnotto7117 Please tell me you’re joking
What if they are imitating humans? That also proves how intelligent they are.
Ants are more Inteligent than humans

nice haha
Aww, he’s walking upright because he doesn’t want his tomatoes to turn into ketchup!!😂
AcklesGirl . That was a good one 😅
What
I mean yeah
He's adorable 😍
make sense!
Harambe would be proud.
credicle Yes. Miss him so much.
R.i.p
Harambe was trying to tell that kid the real reason why Gorillas don't usually walk upright before the zookeeper shot him.
I'm still learning to walk upright.
you will get it.. we are smart,they said it.
🤣🤣
6 feet 400 lbs, that’s a whole lot of muscle mass
Ok
Sounds like he could rush the NFL passer or make a solid rugby player.🤣

@Unknown_ P hi I agree
🤣 same
Or right when alarm rings and u realise U gotta go to work..
Many years later: "Humans walking on 4 feet gorilla scientist says"
😂😂😂
He looks as comfortable walking on two legs rather than on fours doesn’t seem to be causing major stress.
Looks like he may have an ear infection or he sick of hearing how wonderful and special he is while he's living in a cage!
We had a good run.
We (humanity) must cherish and protect all other great apes, they are our brothers
We killed Harambe and look what happened.
No transitional fossils whatsoever, macro evolution takes faith to believe in.
Maybe we can uplift them one day.
@@Jb22372 Do you even know what a "transitional fossil" is? FYI, "Tiktaalik", look it up. But then again, no amount of evidence will convince I suppose.
@@gerardjayetileke4373 that was debunked, it’s just a fossilized fish. Wasn’t the coelacanth suppose to be extinct 65 million years ago.... yikes.

Damn the thumbnail got him looking like a titan
what if he has arthiritis in his hands
i think youre right
He does not.
Stephanie Soria what if he does
Tht was first thing i thought too. Like he has some kinda medical condition ? There was a bear tht walked like tht too but it was determined he wounds on his arms or something
He has been doing this since he was very young - his mother did it as well, she taught him. (If he had started this as an adult, then arthritis would be a concern. But his hands have beenn x-rayed, and there is no damage)
Try putting him in South Carolina forest and see how bigfoot hunters act
Lmaooooo
I'd like to know how his kids would walk. Like if they grow up watching him walk will they copy him?
So? We have an orange gorilla in the Whifte House that walks on 2 legs.
Not anymore
Ambam has a nephew at Twycross in the UK named Lope who not only walks upright but he's a graceful Ballet dancer as well! Love everything about Silverback Gorrilas......
Like his style way to go appreciate him and his family always learning something new each day from the gorillas thanks ! Joe
Looks like my current gameplay progress in Ancestors
Wait till they get their posture right and team all up
Aww Louis...doesn't want his tomatoes crushed, wants clean hands, and while he "rests" with the reporter there, he really looks like he just wants a moment's peace and quiet.
He really be walking tho 😳
Neat freak? While covid is with us, everyone is.. lol
hes not rejecting humanity
but also not returning to monke
hes combining the two
Gorilla: "Crap I just had to go Pee really bad, now they won't leave me alone."
I’ve been at the Philadelphia Zoo in 1998 & 2002, But I never thought this would happen before in my life. This Gorilla standing up right is almost like something from the 1997 Film Buddy. Especially those Ape like Legends from 2 other Films like The Sasquatch AKA Bigfoot in Harry & the Hendersons & The Yeti AKA Abominable Snowman in The Mummy 3.
Imagine they write "If I could talk, will you let me free?"
Do you know why these gorillas are captive?
@@Mikhail-Tkachenko Because its dangerous to let them stay outside?
I saw this in person Louis even waved to me!!
they thought they were slick well we gotem’ caught on 4k walking on 2 feet
But yet we keep them in a prison! 🤦🏽♂️💁🏾♂️
Yes, it's where they belong.
@@generalzod7959 lol sure buddy!!
@@knowledgeispower1999 negative. Beasts belong behind bars, not me.
@@generalzod7959 they are not beasts, just as we are not, we share the same ancestor
(and just because they don’t have the intelligence we have doesn’t mean they’re beasts
)
They would get hunted in the wild lmao
I saw this guy Louis or maybe another silverback gorilla at the Philly zoo break a thick piece of wood that was sticking out of the ground while he was running. It looked like he was surprised when it broke. Then the gorilla swung the wood like a baseball bat in the direction of a smaller gorilla like he was playing lol
Sad that only their intelligence is seen as a positive trait. When I look into their eyes, as in many mammals eyes, I see that they're sensitive. Stop abusing animals, it shows our insensitivity.

Let's preserve this planet so we can see Gorillas probably evolving into a similarly advamced species as us.
Gorillas are too intelligent and complex to be held in zoos like this
Fursuit
Give him a suitcase and make him a hedge fund manager. Can’t be that bad... considering there aren’t any rules or ethics they abide by. I think the gorilla has better manners and that might hurt him.
wait till they making guns lmao

*uh oh*
Lmao. Underrated comment
@@Grug_Crood and then Chunky, he dead
Then we're in trouble
Billions of years from now archaeologist gonna walk by some Louis footprints and it’s gonna throw off the evolutionary table
Next you're going to see him walking with his hands on his hips.😉
One day you see him fixing wire with standing on the ladder and shout at the zookeeper for getting a screwdriver
You’ve seen random chimp events
BUT A RANDOM APE EVENT WOULD BE AWESOME
Gorillas were known to be similar to us
we are more chimp than gorillas, human are crazy...

@@stickyrice2141 I was only saying that we are similar to gorillas. And NOT saying gorillas are the closest thing to us

2:25 Wow!
He looks cute walking on 2 legs
I can just hear all the ladies out there, "if a gorilla can be clean, so can you!" Ahaha
Que coisa mais linda os Gorilas 🐵🐵🐵😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ eles tem atitudes bem humana
He realized he can move a little more comfortably maybe….
Seeing this is more believable that we evolved from gorillas. As they r walking, im picture them at each level of evolution. Its pretty crazy whem u think about it
Why humans began walking upright isn’t the hard question. The difficult question is how a primate ended up living on the grass plains instead of jungles, like all other primates do. This is because there is more fruit and vegetation in the jungle.
Living on the grass plains would explain why they had to hunt meat for food, because no primate can digest grass and that would take multiple stomachs, like ruminant animals, which would take millions of years to develop, so eating meat was the quicker solution to the nutrients they needed.
Why they stood erect? Well, if you were in the grass land, you would need to stand erect to see over the tall grass. That would free your hands for carrying your tools or weapons. Chimpanzees and gorillas have been seen using tools, but they have no way to take that tool from place to place. That sucks if you find a really good tool and even worse if you make a new tool by combining things, like lashing a rock to a stick for a better tool. You don’t want to leave that puppy, so you need hands to carry it. It all makes sense.
What doesn’t make sense is how our ancestors ended up on the plains? Climate change possibly or the inability to compete with the other apes drove them out? Both are possible and it may be some other reason, we may never know, but we know it happened. That started the progression to man. The selective pressures of surviving on a grass plain, rather than the jungle we were originally designed for, explains all of the changes between us and our cousins.
Yes, cousins... We did not evolve from chimpanzees or gorillas, we evolved from an ape-like species that they too evolved from. Chimpanzees and gorillas have been evolving as long as humans and are far different from that same ancestor as we are.
Savannah chimps live in these environments today. They sleep in a forest area, but climb down from the tress in the morning and spend all day on the ground. The range they go in search of food is 100 square kilometers, much bigger than forest chimps. They eat termites, bush babies, and other plants besides fruit, depending on what season it is. Ape ancestors were already adapted to bi-pedal walking when they lived in the trees, which is why gibbons can walk bi-pedally and orangutans can lock their knees even though both spend almost all their time in the trees in the wild. Bi-pedalism has nothing to do with seeing far in a grassland. It has to do with moving through trees and reaching branches and food. Only chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas have adapted to knuckle-walking. Gibbons and orangutans do not knuckle-walk.
Poor animals been there in zoo for 14 years
Where should he go? In the wild to get poached?
@@leandradozier968 they are supposed to be in the wild
@@shivanshgupta7667 where they are more likely to be killed. They aren’t being abused in anyway.
what a clean don
They’re evolving
I guess one day future bears will be walking up right too.
Putting their food in that way made them stand like that.
0:12 when you think humans aren't watching
is he the new adam?
That gorilla's a few million years behind humans? It tell's me that Human's evolved while gorillas stayed gorillas.
Hips and leg length were critical changes needed
US news presenters are so artificially excited on every subject.
What studs they are! Lol
Please don't shoot him :(
He is in a zoo so no poachers :)

470 pounds??!
My mother’s comparing me to a gorilla 🦍 now come on bro !!!!!
Are there still people that doubt the intelligence of gorillas??
Adorable
it’s just tyrone strolling down the block from the liquor store
Please don't shoot up a school tyler
All the people who don't believe in evolution, explain why you don't.
They can't they don't have the capacity to comprehend reality
They love adam and eve story
She girlfriend better be clean lol
awwww
We did not evolve from gorilla's. This is what you would call propaganda. I promise.
You're an idiot, humand are a separate species who broke off from what would be the gorilla family line 5 million years ago.
But we share ancestors from 5 million years ago.
RatherB_Skating that only spans over hundreds of years. Evolution takes millions of years.
@@ratherb_skating7145 Because 4 generations ago humans were still humans?
Of course we did not evolve from Gorillas, we share a common ancestor with them that lived 12 million years ago, approximately.
They are, however, our second closest relatives after chimps/Bonobos, and share about 98% of their protein coding DNA with us, and about 95.2% overall.
@@ratherb_skating7145 bruh... We evolved and evolution takes millions of years..
I cannot bear to look down the comments because I know damn good and well someone will make some stupid comment about religion. that also shows we still have human/ape still among us till they die out.
He is the Felix Unger of gorillas. Cant stand getting his hands dirty.
It actually human in gorrila costume.
They couldn’t figure out till now
Only 6 feet tall?
Only?
@@MrCmon113 yeah I mean it’s a gorilla
@@MiloMcCarthyMusic
Yeah which means that it probably weighs over 200kg.
I don't like the feeling of mud on my hands too
This is the reason why humans evolved from apes tools etc for survival made us walk upright.afyer that ik not sure why we kept evolving but i guess somehow gave us more reasons as we have strong amily ties with vocalization
That explains BIG FOOT 🤷🏻♀️
1:00 He looks so cute
So cute
Racists, dead memes, and evolution deniers all with the same flawed arguments. Now THAT'S the CZcams comments I know and love.
Plot twist. That’s a man in a gorilla suit
They kept him 14 years
Why why why
That’s Kong
That’s so sad. Trapped by humans that he’s forgetting his nature. There is no reason why humans should keep them. Why forbid them from their homes? Unless they are injured and unable to stay in their natural habitat they should not be trapped.
Gaming Gal Gorillas are endangered in many parts of the world, it’s preservation?
Lmaooo
the two gorillas that can walk should meet each other, they'll probably be amazed there's another like them.... oh who am i kidding, they'll probably just fight to the death while ripping each others faces clean off
I personally don’t think they should be in zoo just because it’s too similar to humans. It’s quite sad actually
Did she just called him an ape?
Can't wait to see what she calls the black reporter.
Breaking news: birds also walk on 2 legs
Birds are not apes
1:00 he looks like that titan from aot season 2
Beast titan
@@thebizarrebox6168 no I meant the pose of the titan the was near the house he was standing the same pose as,this gorilla
Those gorillas may evolve to be the next Human race
Just wait, next thing you know he'll be wearing Air-Jordans, he'll have a gold chain around his neck, and he'll be driving a Cadillac. Hey, just like us, right? Isn't that what they keep trying to ram down our throats about some other wild primates?
We were always humans. We didnt come from primates.
We were the smartest of the primates slowly growing better parts of the brain.
@@thegraffitiplayground1325 some people have clearly stopped doing that though
We are primates 😂
They should breed him and try to create more that walk on 2 legs
Well we are family after all
