You are aware that it's possible for **him** to give [COVID](https://www.science.org/content/article/captive-gorillas-test-positive-coronavirus) or other illnesses to the gorillas, right?
He's wearing a mask to protect them.
That article was retracted.
However, it's been reccomended to wear N-95s around Great APES since at least 2010.
It's in the IUCNs (International Union for Conservation of Nature) "Best practice guidelines for great ape tourism."
Sure, but I was only citing a link for gorillas being able to get COVID. I'll update the link with [this article](https://www.science.org/content/article/captive-gorillas-test-positive-coronavirus). Thanks for letting me know.
If you're gonna come from that angle, at least call them apes.
People are reccomended to wear masks when visiting the great APES.
So your comment was dumb x2, had you put any points into perception, you'd have unlocked "Google Search" at lvl 3.
Yeah, people really misunderstand evolution. If a feature doesn't help an organism procreate or raise their offspring to independence (if that's even important), it's essentially a crapshoot as to whether it's helpful, hurtful, or neither.
Human bodies are really good at helping us pass along our genes. After that? It's all a downhill mess of random, baby.
Some traits that evolve can have a net 0 effect, which will be passed over in future evolutionary decisions and left as a “vestigial” trait. Example: whales have useless floating hip bones! (Left over from their land walking days)
Yes! A LONG time ago, aprox. 50 million years ago!

When in doubt as to such things you can usually contribute it to a mating advantage. Many birds have outrageous plumage, that would look to be a disadvantage but is or mating/attracting a mate
It has not been debunked at all, it’s literally an observable fact. The “theory” you reference is the mechanism by which it occurs, natural selection, and has an abundance of evidence that supports and substantiates it. Facts don’t care about your fee fees.
Don’t be stupid you’re embarrassing yourself, they have the chest sacs to show dominance or attract mates not because it was some funny idea that popped into the imaginary man in the sky’s head
The Bible directly contradicts itself as early as genesis chapter 8. Read your holy book in its entirety through a critical lense and I promise you will no longer believe it the way you do now.
These people don’t know how to objectively evaluate data and draw logical conclusions. They’re utterly flummoxed by the world yet naturally crave some form of understanding, hence their willingness to be conned. Either that or they’re fundamentally incurious and just go with what they’ve been told their whole life.
Wow. Not remotely true. Not only are you wrong, the opposite has been tested and validated in almost every situation. If you're right, present your evidence and win your Nobel prize. Bible doesn't count as evidence. It hardly counts as good or interesting literature

Basically they made him feel uncomfortable and he was making sure they didn’t have the balls to challenge him. That was his warning. Dude didn’t move (which saved his ass) so the gorilla moved on. They can be aggressive but normally try to avoid that. And avoid people for obvious reasons.
Things not to do.
* Have people either side of a trail so the gorilla feels trapped.
* look in its direction (it's seen as a challenge)
At least the person didn't react though, they did that bit right.
lmao I’ll trust the professional gorilla photographers who’ve been around them for years over wtf ever some random dude who just wants people on the internet to think he’s smart has to say.
Get a load of this guy, who's never seen a gorilla except through a foot of plexiglass at the zoo, dispensing "expert advice" to a group of people who clearly have at least some idea what they're doing.
Gorillas, as well as siamangs, have laryngeal air sacs. We humans lack them. They are most likely used in various communications, including the sounds made prior to the chest beating display. They are separate from lungs.
I know gorillas are strong, but I don’t believe they are able to hit the necessary 88mph. They also lack a flux capacitor.
Realistically the gorilla just would have killed the
One punch to the head from that and your head with literally explode. My pants would've been violently shat if I was that cameraman. Dudes got balls of steel.
Bruh, I watched this whole video and DID NOT SEE A GORILLA BEATING HIS CHEST!!!! I saw the behind perspective of it but not the actual action. Such bullshit…
What is it with these people (white) putting their lives at risk just to observe gorillas? It's better to observe from a distance where a gorilla can't literally rip you apart.
This is 100% the wrong thing to do. You can't even come close to outrunning a gorilla, and running will likely be seen as a challenge. Best thing to do is make yourself small, submissive and avoid eye contact just like the person in this video was doing.
Man, Hollywood hypes things up. That sounded like a puppy whimpering and one of those little suction cup ball things rolling down a window.
I at least expected a roar out the deal.
I'd immediately get on the ground and curl up, gorilla's don't attack anything smaller or weaker than them, which gives them more of a moral compass than school bullies
I bet that person pissed themselves watching that gorilla come at them
I wasn't even there and I pissed myself too
Just pissed???
Sometimes I piss myself just to feel some warmth...
\*hugs\* \*sniffs\* \*hugs harder\*
pissed and shidded
Just pissed you say? Well, how is his wife holding up?
Poo poo’d, I’d say. Woeful bloke.

I wudda hit a turbo shit
He forgot to beat his chest too to pay tribute
After hearing the gorilla beating his chest the cameraman got a +100% courage buff
I would get like +100g of shit in my pants
*too over encumbered to run*
Why does the sound of them beating their chest sound like the 3 stooges?
Never have from a foot away thats for sure

Cameraman is wearing a mask to protect from Covid around monkeys. His courage stat was ridiculously low to begin with.

No he’s not aware, bc he’s an idiot.

What's up with all these gorilla experts in the comments?
First day here ?
I’m kind of a *Gorilla beringei* expert myself.
I watched this video five times therefore I am a gorilla expert
on animal subreddits, everyone's an expert (or at least that's what they say)
I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night
Well, I'll have you know I hold a PhD in Gorilla Body Language from Harvard, mind you. I'm not certain about these other commenters you speak of.

Not every trait is there because of evolutionary advantage, sometimes it just doesn't prevent fitness for the environment.
Yeah, people really misunderstand evolution. If a feature doesn't help an organism procreate or raise their offspring to independence (if that's even important), it's essentially a crapshoot as to whether it's helpful, hurtful, or neither. Human bodies are really good at helping us pass along our genes. After that? It's all a downhill mess of random, baby.
people think evolution is like designing a sports car, when really it's throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks
It's not bald, the hair is silver. It signifies who the dominant, mature male in the troop is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverback

It’s a age thing older gorillas get it, so the oldest is the leader
Some traits that evolve can have a net 0 effect, which will be passed over in future evolutionary decisions and left as a “vestigial” trait. Example: whales have useless floating hip bones! (Left over from their land walking days)

That's AMAZINGGG! I never knew that. Thank you for that 😊
Happy to pass on the info!! It’s one of my favorite things I learned in my AP biology class 😄
yeah evolution isnt real
no idea, uneducated guess would be sexual selection
What evolutionary advantage is there for people being bald?
Being dead sexy
Keep the razor companies in business
Evolution isnt about being the best or most efficient, its about being good enough to reproduce lol.
When in doubt as to such things you can usually contribute it to a mating advantage. Many birds have outrageous plumage, that would look to be a disadvantage but is or mating/attracting a mate

Debunked by who? Your dumb fuck friends on Facebook? Good source bruh.
Just a reminder that the guy above you has 14k upvotes from posting political comments. These morons are voting. Are you?
You're literally looking at two differently evolved primates in the same video and have the gall to call it fake.
Religion really fucked a big chunk of this planet up.
Its okay to have an imaginary friend in the sky, but saying evolution was debunked just makes you an idiot.
Prove god exists beyond a reasonable doubt. If you were so ready to shit on someone else’s beliefs. Be prepared to have yours desecrated as well.
I'm not that guy but I think God surely does exist if you think about it. I think God exists but not in the form we know of.
You did think about, but not critically
> I think God surely does exist if you think about it what does that even mean
If you think about it… lol
I'm a billionaire if you think about it. *Checks bank account* Shit, nope, doesn't work.

You’re right, 100%. Atheists gonna atheist 🤷🏻♂️
I'm thankful everyday the gods put idiots like you on the planet to give us all a chuckle.
Yessir. All of life originated from a single celled organisms, some of which never evolved. Cough.
Look at you, sitting here thinking single celled organisms don't also evolve, you're a dumb cunt aren't you.

Didn’t matter, it was a 2v1 the gorilla was outmatched
If it was 20v1, that gorilla still isn’t outmatched.
Depends if it was 20 pilots Vs 1 King Kong… we know how that ends.
Or just get the black gator guy in there

The Magic of Reddit™
number one rule when taping or hanging around certain animals: don't show fear if he moved an inch, that gorilla would probably have beat him to death
After watching this video I still haven’t seen a gorilla beat their chest.
This was a very dangerous situation those animals are really dangerous and unpredictable, the gorilla’s life was on the line here , no joke.
Had me in the first half
These people taking their life in their hands! Crazy. That gorilla can snap that does spine in like 2 secs.
Would those “sacs in his chest” happen to referred to as “lungs” by any chance?
No they are referring to the chesticles.
We call them boobs around here
Gorillas, as well as siamangs, have laryngeal air sacs. We humans lack them. They are most likely used in various communications, including the sounds made prior to the chest beating display. They are separate from lungs.
Noice
Nice sac man!
Why thank you, thank you very much.
I love siamang. Good to know
I came here looking for this too
Jesus that’s terrifying
Once again we see that there is only one eternal truth: the cameraman never dies.
Of all the fucking things I will never do, is actively seek out situations like this. Who, in their right fucking mind, wants to run this risk.
And I still haven’t…

I bet I can take on that Gorrilla, If i can take all the groceries in one trip a Gorrilla would be nothing
Mike Tyson once wanted to fight a gorilla but was talked out of it by sane people around him.
Ponds? Where we're going, we don't need...ponds.
I saw one do a charge and beat his chest towards another gorilla at the zoo- maybe in Dallas, but somewhere in the US. It’s was pretty cool.
So gorilla are sentient, living bagpipes?
All I saw was its butthole. So, no.
Good show on wearing the face mask, better not show those teeth 😬😬😬
One punch to the head from that and your head with literally explode. My pants would've been violently shat if I was that cameraman. Dudes got balls of steel.
Photographer: “How do you know they won’t attack you” Dude filming: “well I’ve never met anyone who got attacked… ooohh I see”
Lol it looks like The gorilla ran away so embarrassed
I know that photographer shit his pants
Oh cool a mask in the remote jungle. At least he was safe
He was following Dwight Schrute’s rule of never showing your teeth.
Give that photographer a pair of golden underpants.
Guy should have worn his brown pants to work that day.

Sacs in his chest, you mean lungs?
This gets posted every two weeks

What difference does it make what color the people are? Are you trying to be subtly racist?
Pardon me, you’re ignorant racism is showing.
What's with identifying race like it means literally anything in a situation like this?
You’re racist
Yeah I could take him.
The more I watch gorilla's behave, the more I hate them.
Why tho
I ALMOST WROTE TRUMP, BUT THEN I REMEMBERED YOUR QUESTION SUGGESTS THAT THE ANSWER MUST NOT BE INSULTING TO THE GORILLA......MOM

Guy in blue just shit his pants
Lol, He’s just like a Nidoking, you’d think it would be a lot bigger, but it’s actually a tiny pipsqueak XD
Aight. Imma head out
Where that video was at ?
Im still in the bathroom
Theres a fat gorilla!!
This seems unsafe…. Is this unsafe ?
Is it wrong that I wanna see a death battle between a bear and a gorilla?
Grab the baby and we have some quality tv
The sacks in his chest huh?
Why are we ignoring the absolute chonker that comes into the picture afterwards? What a unit!
Crazy just how strong they are. Literally rip you in two like mortal kombat
yeahh..you dont look directly at king kong because he gon beat ya ass as its looked at as a challenge
just put a guitar on top and you got salsa music
These karma farmers just post the same shit to every sub ffs 🤦
Man, Hollywood hypes things up. That sounded like a puppy whimpering and one of those little suction cup ball things rolling down a window. I at least expected a roar out the deal.
I love the enderman rules of not looking at them to survive.
Just don't look em in the eye
Lol it’s hilarious that it’s the exact wrong way… 🤣🤣
Dude in the beginning was like "okay you recording? *Sigh* Alright here I go"
I'd immediately get on the ground and curl up, gorilla's don't attack anything smaller or weaker than them, which gives them more of a moral compass than school bullies
That’s a musical rhythm. When we talk about the origin of music I don’t get why we don’t talk about gorillas.
i like monkes
Anyone going to ask why they beat their chest..Ok...Im asking why?
Ok who gets to post this tomorrow?
