⚡️Silverback's heartwarming response to the thunderstorm⚡️ / Shabani Group 

They're very close to us especially in emotions. Love them too

Funny (yet NOT) as I feel the same way about America's public school system!

They were born in captivity; that is what they know, so considering, I think they are fine

@@vipin6986 oh well good I’m so happy that makes You Feel Better About It… I wonder what they would say🤔

@@tchambers1701 Unfortunately, I think they are safer where they are due to their loss of habitat and uneducated people trying to hurt them. Sad but true.

Amen!

Black men, their own beings...

@@billybunter3753 huh?

if we do that we get accused of trying to enforce the patriarchy.

kept in captivity by lesser intelligent creatures!

@@Hellionis

huh ? some human already look like them , lol

It is a zoo, not a rescue and rehabilitation centre. They were most probably born in captivity.

I still think D'jeeco gets the prize for patience lol

I agree.🙂

SHABANI IS SO INTELLIGENT

@conniehellinger9934 , yes he sure is , and very handsome..😁

Others are also handsome

Politicians do that all the time.

I have often heard it said by people " oh look they are doing human things " But the truth is Gorillas are not like us but we are like them , human communication is about 85% body language and this goes for all primates. Whenever you scratch your head when puzzled or frustrated that's pure monkey.

Can't do both

if you set free Gorillas that are in captivity, most would Die, they don't have the learned skills to survive.

Don't make a gorilla mad, though. They are scarily strong.

They are so precious they should be allowed to live their birthright in freedom amongst their own kind not imprisoned in zoos for profit and misguided and uninformed humans that consider this entertainment. This is not heartwarming. This is heartbreaking.

@@ChooseCompassion Pls get informed. These as many wild animals are being killed by proachers, trophy hunters, straving from lack of habitat. Mankind is destroying nature. State regulated zoos & sanctuaries are saving these species. Many zoos have breeding programs. The regulated state licensed zoos have large natural terrain for the animals. Thank God we have places that help our dimishing wild life. Pls visit a zoo, or sanctuary that adheres to laws. The animals are with their own kind. Well cared for. Not sure where you're getting your info. Don't confuse licensed facilities with the roadside, or small personal places Those are cruel. And against many state laws.

They may be extinct by now if they’d been left in the wild and no zoos started breeding programs.

@@ChooseCompassion That, indeed, would be a wonderful thing. But, a knowledgeable and professional zoo with trained caretakers that has enough room for a gorilla family or families can be a more safe, compassionate, and caring environment than the big bad open world of the most voracious killers on earth - humans. Gorillas are endangered and must be protected from poachers who kill the gorillas in order to sell body parts (like hands for ashtrays) to collectors or sell the babies to people who keep them in their private "zoos" for their amusement. Due to current conditions, people now live in the same areas as the gorillas. People need to eat and so they deforest the land to plant food crops for themselves which removes the food source for the gorillas. People have families to feed, clothes, and house and those needs have led people to kill gorillas for their family to consume or to sell the butchered gorilla parts as bush meat. Until the ever-increasing numbers of people can find a way to live in the same area in harmony with gorillas AND other animals, zoos and no-kill reserves (some have established a tourist opportunity) will be required in order to preserve the existence of these magnificent beings.

Do they have a source of drinking water? Seem to lick rainwater off things.

Yes he had to protect them from the thunder. So cute!

Love it!❤️

they would beat you to death lol

They are better behaved than most humans.

I definitely agree

Absolutely agree!

街角でたまに見かけるオジサン的雰囲気ですね😁笑えます🥳

It is Selfish. Uncivilized to cage them. And, they are taking their captivaty well. Thanks be to Jesus.

they exist as social dynamic their consciousness beyond base needs exists as reaction to the group and their place and responsibility within that group it like being In never ending soap opera

This zoo seems to be one of the better ones.

These gorillas have been born in captivity! They cannot be freed in the wild. And still, have you seen the documentaries of wild gorillas, where poachers end families by killing the silverbacks? So the families get confused and eventually perish because no leader? Or when they killed the silverbacks and the females to steal the babies? I would rather see them safe, well fed and enjoying their babies and their lives than getting killed because of their "exotic" meat or their body parts.

Love watching this beautiful fam. We're not far removed from them. Fascinating to observe.

I don't know if I'm interpreting his behavior correctly but it looked like he ran to protect Nene when the thunder rumbled around 2:56 She looked so scared. Either way, I definitely agree with your comment.

I like to do this and it made me think we 're so alike
