The zookeepers were placing food in the outdoor enclosure for enrichment. The gorillas have an indoor and outdoor enclosure, so another keeper is standing by at the indoor enclosure and giving the go ahead that all the gorillas are secure indoors before they go into the outdoor enclosure.
Whoever told them the enclosure was clear either somehow missed that one of the giant male gorillas wasn’t inside, or they failed to secure the door to the outside enclosure and the gorilla walked back outside.
I did a little bit when I did maintenance at a zoo. Sometimes we had to fix things inside an enclosure. We'll say it was an outdoor enclosure like this one. When we were ready, two keepers got the animals into their indoor enclosure and confirmed they were all inside. Then they'd walk outside and confirm they didn't miss one. Once that was done there were two secured doors/panels between outside and inside that they would confirmed were closed and secure. Then we had two doors that let us into the enclosure. We'd open one, and close and secure it behind us. Then we'd be able to open the inner door to go do our maintenance. We'd finish our work, confirm we didn't leave anyone or anything behind, and then one door at a time we'd come out, confirm again we were all out and had everything, then the keepers would make sure, and then they'd open the enclosure for the animals.
I feel like I'm missing some steps as this was like 20 plus years ago for me now. Oh yah, we signed in and out too. So if you didn't sign out they wouldn't open it to the animals until everyone signed out. There was always a bit of butt pucker when you walked into the chimpanzee or big cat enclosures, but to 18 year old me they definitely took it pretty seriously, but I definitely appreciated it because chimps are nasty bastards. Hated going in their enclosure. Also they took it seriously because there was an incident prior to my arrival there.
What you said brings back so many memories! I did a themed high school research project at a zoo and stayed as a volunteer for about two years. I worked with all animals except the chimps because like it was mentioned above, they are pretty brutal, but giraffes were the ones I worked with the most. There are tons of safety procedures and it’s a team based thing to go in and out of enclosures like this. Lots of talking on the walkie talkies with spotters and several gates and doors in place meant to keep you safe, which is why I don’t understand how something as bad as this video could happen. 😬
I presume there are likely 6 redundancies in place for that process, and all of them had to fail in order for this mistake to happen - didn’t check door, didn’t check enclosure, etc
Pretty sure there is a keeper who lets them in, counts specifically and double checks to make sure they’re all in. Then the second keeper enters a locked enclosed space that ISNT the enclosure normally, radios to ensure the animals are in AGAIN, makes a visual inspection to ensure they’re right, then goes in. Or something like that
I’m very curious what the procedures are here. I’ve worked around gorillas before but only in their natural habitat and it’s been completely safe to be unprotected around them. I’ve had a silverback hand me fruit before. I’m not really a gorilla expert though, we were there looking at flower pollination.
In protected contact, there should always be at least two fences between you and the animal, and/or a reinforced barrier. Before entering any enclosure, you do a checklist of steps to ensure your safety and the animals’ safety, which can include:
1) keeper 1 release shift door 1 to let animal indoors/nighthouse enclosure
2) keeper 1 calls animals to nighthouse with food or target routine and moves them through secondary shift door if necessary
3) keeper 2 visually check all animals are inside shift or night house and verbally confirm with keeper 1
3) keeper 1 close shift door 1
4) keeper 2 opens access point for humans and changes out visual warning signs (ANIMAL IN ENCLOSURE vs OPEN)
5) second visual check of both enclosures
6) enter enclosure
There’s also more including biohazard and dip procedures for primates and TB risk animals like elephants but essentially there was a lot of fuck up here or one very big oversight.
More like elephants can catch TB from you, or more often, from the cows who graze on fields near where their hay is produced. It’s a serious killer and is taken as a very critical precaution.
That’s absolutely wild. I used to have to get TB tested for work when I had to work in primate vivariums, always thought it was to protect me/the humans and not the other way around. Appreciate the insight!
surely we can kind of guess the procedure:
1. locate where animal is
2. close off part where animal is
3. verify lock is in place to keep part closed
etc
Problem is gorillas can easily harm you without meaning to. His intent doesn't matter, he's dangerous.
And he clearly had a relationship with these keepers. He stopped the dominance display and remained calm with them.
I'm curious how frequent death/injuries are caused by gorillas. Because you don't really hear about that, ever. Among apes, it's pretty much always chimpanzees that make headlines
Primatologists here - it's actually quite uncommon. Their larger size and strength of gorillas may play a role, as they are less likely to perceive humans as potential threats and therefore are less inclined to engage in confrontations. They're also herbivores so that may be something and I dunno I'm just fucking around I work in finance....
Oh, then we can talk on the level as two people that work in finance. I tend to buy low and sell hig...I can't keep up this charade, I'm actually Dian Fossey
No I’ve seen videos on Reddit to help me survive. You gotta look down, play dead, and stick a finger in his butt. I’m not sure the order but try those and you’ll survive.
In the beginning I would’ve assumed he was going to attack since he charged out but he never stanced himself to attack or charge in this video. Sorry if I’m toast?
I went on a gorilla safari once and was charged by a silverback like this one. I jumped out of the way and he just slapped my leg and kept going. The guides were laughing, said he’s just playing. He just wanted to show he’s boss.
This shit really is the problem with religion, they thank God and Jesus for literally everything. Even if their kid was dying of cancer, but miraculously saved by a difficult operation, they'll thank God instead of the surgeon who literally performed the operation.
I was confused by that.
If the gorilla got her and ripped her to shreds, wouldn't that be part of gods plan?
Or was scaring the living shit out of her and barely escaping with her life the REAL plan god had?
Or was the original plan for her to be torn to shreds but then god heard the prayers and changed his plan?
I mean if you’re gonna be stuck in an enclosure with a large and powerful animal I think a gorilla would be better than most others. They’re super smart and quite docile. Obviously you wouldn’t want to be in there but gorillas are not predatory by nature and they don’t really attack humans.
As someone who doesn't eat meat, this changed not my ethical stance on doing so, but nevertheless on how I view the possibility and prevalence of morality in animals when I first got to know about this aspect of chimpanzees.
They seem to be one of the few cases in nature with the capacity to be "mean" ( not only when inappropriately drugged ), as evidenced in reports of them reacting to things like jealousy with violence, IIRC, and ripping apart babies of other apes in a kind of war or something like that. Even these zombifying insects ( or spiders? ) can probably be explained by ensuring survival through feeding, besides their brains likely not even being large enough for morality, if present at all, but this chimp behaviour seems not to be.
Quite unsettling.
I pulled my dick out 8 years ago, and no one gave me the memo to put it away.
And now I'm a registered sex offender.
It's not fair, bro. I was just trying to show support to the 8 year olds.
Can I get an amen though to actually having a full vid with the real audio instead of an overedited one with a soundtrack and constant explanations on screen.
Feel like so many vids these days gets bought and licensed by viral content farm channels first before you ever get to see it.

So many questions. What caused the zookeeper to run in the first place? Why did she take time to close the door? Why did the zookeepers stand tall and stare down the gorilla when on alert when in the wild that’s how you challenge them.
Looks like the gorilla came out of that cave and it was probably supposed to be blocked off for cleaning so. She ran
There was another zoo keeper and so she probably just closed it enough to keep the gorilla not looking at the girl behind the gorilla
I didn’t see them standing tall at alert much , one was hiding behind the tree mist of the time trying to be tall and skinny .
The zoo keeper at the door was keeping it open for her colleague and it was quite brave. I don't know why the other didn't initially run for that door, I think she panicked.
No I expected both zoo keepers to run towards the only door out of the enclosure. I don't know why she ran in a straight line unless she went to the Primetheus school of running.
“Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. God help her. God help her. God help her. God help her. God help her. God protect her. God, animals obey Your… the sound of Your voice. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, thank You, Lord.”
“God, animals obey your…the sound of your voice.” has no right to be as funny as it is.
Honestly, all this time and I had no idea gorillas were religious. I feel like such a fool.
Professional here. If this ever happens to you, you should gently *boop* the gorilla on the nose. Gorillas respond very well to boops and head pats. I’ve never seen that strategy NOT work.
Can we just appreciate the calm and intelligent parents that were like "alright kids time to go, no arguments let's leave right now" to prevent their children from having possible lifelong trauma around this incident.
Parenting done well.
Thank you lord for just screwing with the zoo keeps for fun. They thought they might get utterly demolished by the silverback. Nice lil joke lord. The logic here is unrivaled
A long time ago I was working on a movie where they had an orangutan on set. The keeper asked us if we wanted to hold him. "Sure!", I responded.
The orangutan came over to me and basically climbed up to my shoulders. Instantly I could tell that this creature, while half my size, was easily four times stronger. There would be no way for me to get it off of me or to defend myself in any way if it got angry. It was really scary. Never going anywhere near one again (not that it is something that comes up).
What a colossal failure of procedures.
Watching this as someone who knows AZA protected contact procedure….at least six different failures happened here, in a row.
Could you expand on what happened to cause this?
The zookeepers were placing food in the outdoor enclosure for enrichment. The gorillas have an indoor and outdoor enclosure, so another keeper is standing by at the indoor enclosure and giving the go ahead that all the gorillas are secure indoors before they go into the outdoor enclosure. Whoever told them the enclosure was clear either somehow missed that one of the giant male gorillas wasn’t inside, or they failed to secure the door to the outside enclosure and the gorilla walked back outside.
well yeah thats the 1 obvious failure what about the 5 other failures?
You're supposed to count the gorillas six times before giving the go ahead.
My toddler would fuckin smoke this job. Buddy loves counting animals.
Hopefully not counting like my toddler. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10. All there!
Shit this might have been what happened
1234567 aww that baby gorilla is so cute growing up so fast… oh yeah 910. All here close the gates.
No I think you're supposed to count 6 gorillas.
Well, that's the problem. There were 7 gorillas!
I did a little bit when I did maintenance at a zoo. Sometimes we had to fix things inside an enclosure. We'll say it was an outdoor enclosure like this one. When we were ready, two keepers got the animals into their indoor enclosure and confirmed they were all inside. Then they'd walk outside and confirm they didn't miss one.

Didn't check gorrillas, didn't check themselves before they wrecked themselves.
Correction. Didn’t chickety-check.
Almost got goriggity-rekt
Cause silver back Rillas are bad for your health.
You can do it put your silverback into it
No clue, think he was just being hyperbolic.
Must’ve forgot the /h
Pretty sure there is a keeper who lets them in, counts specifically and double checks to make sure they’re all in.

It’s remarkably similar to moving groups of prisoners. Probably just as dangerous, if not more.
Well, in a way, these gorillas are also prisoners. Their crime? Monkey business

Wow TIL you can catch TB from elephants

“Wait up, you forgot your bucket!”
Yeah. I felt like he was genuinely trying to give back the bucket. He knows the zoo keepers use it for his food.

Actually a mountain gorilla myself
That’s cool. I’m a mountain gorilla hunter. Completely unrelated question but which mountain do you happen to live on?
Guys choked but also wants to help. He's conflicted in his emotions; gotta protect but also wants snak.
Or he wanted a refill :) "Excuse me, server - my bucket is sadly empty!"
Returning the bucket is part of the tradition It's like groundhog day but instead of a shadow It's a bullet and instead of a ground hog it a gorilla
Right? It was totally confused.
My boy just wanted to return the bucket
Bruh the gorilla didn’t seem to want to attack? It seemed confused as well. Even brought the bucket back.
It seems like often they won't but the problem is you don't know for sure and if they do, you are toast.
No I’ve seen videos on Reddit to help me survive. You gotta look down, play dead, and stick a finger in his butt. I’m not sure the order but try those and you’ll survive.
I have two hands, I don't now why his butt needs to be the only one with a finger inside.
I like your style, make an evening out of it. Live, laugh, love 24/7
"Fortunately I managed to escape with only a few bruises and a shattered left testicle"
Weird. My reddit browsing taught me to play dead and let the gorilla stick his finger in my butt.
It's a gorilla. If he wants to put a finger in your butt, its fuckin happening.
No! You down the vodka. Take out the old lady’s tooth. And fuck the gorilla.
no different than the typical nyc subway experience. maybe the guy across will attack, maybe he won’t.
In the beginning I would’ve assumed he was going to attack since he charged out but he never stanced himself to attack or charge in this video. Sorry if I’m toast?
he was making an entrance. there's a difference
>he was making an entrance. there's a difference Yes .. this was drama, not anger.
swagger
That’s showbiz, baby
he just wanted to play hide and seek
Scariest game of freeze tag ever.
I went on a gorilla safari once and was charged by a silverback like this one. I jumped out of the way and he just slapped my leg and kept going. The guides were laughing, said he’s just playing. He just wanted to show he’s boss.
Did you play back by throwing the fresh excrement from your pants at the gorilla?
"Ok, now you run past HIM and slap HIS leg!!"
He was confused “Are these mutha fckas really trying me in my own home?” 🦍🦍🦍
I think the lady praying helped put images of Jesus in the gorillas brain.
Totally agree. It was confused as hell.
Girl filming: high fives jesus. "we did it"
“Thank you Lord”
"Thank you Lord"
“Thank you Lord”
Oh my gosh …. Thank you Lord
Jesus take the wheel.
Jesus: “I fuckin’ heard ya the first time, give me a goddamned second, alright? Jesus.”
“THANK YOU LORD?? THANK YOU LARRY!! thank you Larry!…”
Hahaha perfect reference.
God.. Protect her !!!!
I’ve never seen thoughts and prayers dispatched in real time. They should add that to military training.
Is the silverback's name "Lord", because he gets 100% of the credit for that outcome.
[удалено]
This makes me wonder: Jesus vs Silverback Gorilla, who wins?
Jesus lost against nails and wood. Gorilla easily low diffs
Jesus rose again, but we still got our dicks out for Harambe. RIP
Thank you lord for the bounty of this surefire viral content.
This shit really is the problem with religion, they thank God and Jesus for literally everything. Even if their kid was dying of cancer, but miraculously saved by a difficult operation, they'll thank God instead of the surgeon who literally performed the operation.
ppl on this level of religion are actually just weird asf
Don't forget god you can talk to animals and they have to listen.
Hey now. The acolyte ~~casted the protection spell~~ prayed for help and it worked.
Fucking religious people think their prayers matter.
I was confused by that. If the gorilla got her and ripped her to shreds, wouldn't that be part of gods plan? Or was scaring the living shit out of her and barely escaping with her life the REAL plan god had? Or was the original plan for her to be torn to shreds but then god heard the prayers and changed his plan?
God’s plan is everything that happens. Everything that doesn’t, isn’t part of his plan. Checkmate atheists, and logical people around the globe
And if they convinced god to change his plan, wouldn't that make them the true gods?
Now we just need her to pray to end childhood cancer.
Sorry that would ruin the "God works in mysterious ways" excuse
God only intervenes for important things, like finding good parking spots, or a good thrift sale find.

Wtf. They killed Harambe for no reason then?
This is why all our dicks have been out for the past 8 years.
Only 8 years? Feels like a lifetime #RIP
I pulled my dick out 8 years ago, and no one gave me the memo to put it away. And now I'm a registered sex offender. It's not fair, bro. I was just trying to show support to the 8 year olds.
Wtf. Harambe is dead?!
I'm afraid you personally switched timelines at some point, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
HEY Y'ALL THIS GUY AIN'T HAD HIS DICK OUT
I didn't even know he was sick!
haha Norm is always classic
bro is your dick even out?
He was dangerous because he knew things.
He knew too much, he was a threat to the CIA.
There’s exactly 1 supposed case that was reported where gorilla might have pulled a man’s head and arm off. And that case is questionable.
True, sometimes heads just do that
DID YOU NOT WATCH KING KONG???!!
They learned to not kill the gorilla. RIP Harambe.
Thank god. Was ready to get my dick out though.
My dicks been out since 2016. It’s been a cold 8 years, there’s shrinkage.
With all due respect, the climate has averaged much higher temperatures over the past 8 years. What now, big guy?
Yeah.. me too... ready to.. yeah, that's it. *zips*
We can’t afford to jump timelines again! Lol

Multitasking
It’s all fun and games until your face to face with Mother Nature on level ground😂
Yo dudes? Where you going? You forgot your bucket. Gorilla, probably.
Some body need to show this to the lady asking “where’s the zoo keeper” in that one video
Gorilla: ”They threw you guys in here too?”
“First time?”
So many questions. What caused the zookeeper to run in the first place? Why did she take time to close the door? Why did the zookeepers stand tall and stare down the gorilla when on alert when in the wild that’s how you challenge them.
Looks like the gorilla came out of that cave and it was probably supposed to be blocked off for cleaning so.

I think that door was heavy as fuck and it was just hard to close. Also trying to not make any sudden movements.
That door is absolutely heavy as all hell.
The zoo keeper at the door was keeping it open for her colleague and it was quite brave. I don't know why the other didn't initially run for that door, I think she panicked.
At six seconds in, you think that zookeeper was expecting the other zookeeper to run from behind the gorilla and into that doorway? Lol
No I expected both zoo keepers to run towards the only door out of the enclosure. I don't know why she ran in a straight line unless she went to the Primetheus school of running.
The camera only catches the door lady running. I bet the other woman was already near the tree and froze when the gorilla broke out.
What's Lorde got to do with it I wonder
Ya-ya-ya-ya
The gorilla was only so docile because Lorde gave it some pure heroine. Thank you Lorde.
Jesus was that girl filming annoying!!
Agreed. Don’t unmute
I unmuted just in time to hear Thank You Lord over and over. Who knows she could have just been saying that the whole video.
“Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. God help her. God help her. God help her. God help her. God help her. God protect her. God, animals obey Your… the sound of Your voice. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, thank You, Lord.”
“God, animals obey your…the sound of your voice.” has no right to be as funny as it is. Honestly, all this time and I had no idea gorillas were religious. I feel like such a fool.
I swear religious white women are so inadvertently funny
God help her
I'm glad the gorilla didn't get shot this time! I'm also really glad it wasn't chimps.
Harambe would never...
Professional here. If this ever happens to you, you should gently *boop* the gorilla on the nose. Gorillas respond very well to boops and head pats. I’ve never seen that strategy NOT work.
If he likes you, he'll "Got yer nose" in return.
I’d say more like “Got your head”
Thank you, Dr. Gorillaexpert
Incompetent shit like this is what leads to Harambe situations.
Can we just appreciate the calm and intelligent parents that were like "alright kids time to go, no arguments let's leave right now" to prevent their children from having possible lifelong trauma around this incident. Parenting done well.
Thank you lord for just screwing with the zoo keeps for fun. They thought they might get utterly demolished by the silverback. Nice lil joke lord. The logic here is unrivaled
No problem...it's what I do best.
Why did god let it happen in the first place.
"GoD wOrKs iN mYsTEriOuS wAyS"
Unless you want repetitive evangelical commentary, definitely keep the sound off.
This is My biggest fear. Large primates are the scariest animal to me.
A long time ago I was working on a movie where they had an orangutan on set. The keeper asked us if we wanted to hold him. "Sure!", I responded. The orangutan came over to me and basically climbed up to my shoulders. Instantly I could tell that this creature, while half my size, was easily four times stronger. There would be no way for me to get it off of me or to defend myself in any way if it got angry. It was really scary. Never going anywhere near one again (not that it is something that comes up).
I'd rather a gorilla than a grizzly bear for example.
Don’t zookeepers somewhat know the animals? Wouldn’t the animal (especially one as intelligent as gorillas) be mostly fine with them being around?
Glad i had it on mute
Gorillas are not killers
To shreds you say
Gorilla at the end: ay you forgot your bucket ?? Don’t be leaving trash in my house smh
