That's awesome. I love apes and primates And find them fascinating. Hence having a bs in anthropology.

Cool as hell video.

Looks like that silverback could put a bad hurtin' on you if it wanted to.

That is a cool video. Apes are cool. That silver back was the best part.

Cool video. A bigger threat to the gorilla is habitat loss from deforestation.

Groups like Phesents Forever, Ducks Unlimited, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and others are dedicated to the preservation of these animals and their habitat.

STOP! More personal attacks? Even in a thread about a really cool experience the videographer(s) has with wild gorillas?

I've deleted the posts that aren't positive, as I believe this video is, and I've modified the title to represent the contents of the video and not the OP's personal feelings about the continued annihilation of various species from our planet. While the OP has every right to express his opinions and concerns, the current climate on the site makes that impossible. EVERYTHING has become a flame war here and it saddens me. Until a short time ago we were I tight knit community who'd seldom launch personal attacks on our members. These days, it's become the norm. I you want a site like ARFCOM, why not just participate there instead. If you want a site where all members receive a fair amount of respect, quit tearing the other members down. Until recently, I thought our members were better than this. I'm sickened to find I was wrong.

The only posts I want to see in this thread are about how cool such an interaction would be.

That is being ONE WITH NATURE! Too freaking cool.

Yeah don't think I could've kept my cool like that either. The silverback was absolutely awesome bringing up the rear pushing that baby away from the dude, just pure power.

Very cool video, but when did gorillas learn to pour concrete walkways?

"Bad, monkey, bad!"

Points for whomever can guess that one.
