Gorilla Chases Stray Dog That Entered Enclosure at San Diego Zoo 

Thanks for posting this. Had to wade through thirteen news stories to find a raw video.

The main troop (Winston family) was in the back bedrooms behind the tan wall. The gorillas that were out in the enclosure were Franklin (Frank 13) and Monroe (11) part of the Winston family, a bachelor troop. Both are still considered "black backs". Even though Frank is still a boy he is 400lbs (his dad Paul Donn 450+lbs) and if Frank really wanted to catch the dog he would have, rest assured. I've followed Frank since he was born, and knowing his personality he just wanted to chase the dog out of the enclosure mostly. Looking at the video there are periods where both Frank and the dog stop and stare at each other. Frank is fairly light on his feet, and can move fast. I've seen him sprint on a whim, and run at top speeds. He could have very easily pounced on the dog when the dog stopped running, but he certainly did not. Captive born gorillas behave a bit differently from those born in the wild. Though he is still a wild animal Frank is rather "domesticated" and loves his amenities and treats 😆. That is why he said forget the dog, the keeper is calling me 🤣. It may not look like it by his sheer massive size, but Frank's actually got a rather cheeky, and loving personality: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tr74QEpDpHU.html

The gorilla didn't want to hurt the doggo, he just wanted it off his property. Kind of like a grumpy old man.

1st - How does a dog get in zoo ?? 2nd - Then in gorilla exhibit?? 3rd- Where in the he🏑🏑 is the ZOO KEEPER !!!

If that dog can find his way into that enclosure then that Gorilla can find his way out.

All these people screaming might just be convincing and reinforcing to the gorillas that the dog might be a threat. Other apes and primates will make a bunch of noise to warn about snakes or other threats. Don’t know about gorillas but this is just an altogether dangerous situation.

Probably the most entertainment the gorilla has had for a while. Plus the dog got away so all in all a great outcome.

Well now we know gorillas cannot catch a dog

Man that dog's chances of adoption just went up

My fave video ever! The lady throwing the kissing sound like you do a dog, confusing the hell outta both of em! 😅 Gorilla: don't you know I'm the king of the jungle! Look at my dirt! Doggo: yea man... your jungle stinks, and you have more fur than me, so I'm out! Keep your dirt. 😆😅😂🤣

i assumed a gorilla finding an intruder would be more violent

That dogs should be renamed HOUDINI !

"They have to get that gorilla like, away" Well they shouldn't have that gorilla there in the first place!

That’s a pretty impressive bird call.

poor gorilla... what a stupid name for such a majestic beast. franklin

This is at The SAFARI PARK not the zoo

Franklin Looks more happier with the gorillas!

that GS is in a heap of Gorilla doo doo...lol

The silverback probably thought the dog was a predator

I saw it on the news and I was laughing my @SS off! Lmao

What happens if that Silverback had of caught that dog?

How did thé dog managed to get there ?

This is proof that a gorilla would destroy a wolf in combat!! I know they don't actually fight but I think a lot of people would agree with me that if that German Shepherd decided to attack it would get destroyed it's also kind of contradicts the leopard thing where apparently gorillas are more afraid in certain scenarios well as we can see this isn't just some old dog it's a German Shepherd and apparently they can beat wolves sometimes and wolves are pretty much predators obviously dogs aren't predators but the gorilla could have perceived a dog as one and didn't show any signs of fear it was even bold enough to try and throw some sand at it and when the dog got closer it barely showed any reaction and was ready for anything!!! Like I said they don't really fight each other I think we can all agree the gorilla clearly isn't scared which definitely increases its chances of victory to be honest the dog was likely playing around but the gorilla clearly wasn't and perceived it as a threat and like I said it was even bold enough to throw sand at it and even try to chase it down when it left so this is kind of proof that when faced with potential predators like a beer or a lion or something like that the gorilla definitely wouldn't hesitate and who knows maybe that can be seen as a strategy throwing sand to your opponent's eye would definitely blind them and would give you a decent advantage when fighting I'm making note of this because gorillas are heavily underrated believe it or not people think they would lose to almost every other animal with claws even a lot smaller ones in the main argument is that they're rather peaceful and would even rather run away which is the main explanation for why they apparently get bodied by leopards since they don't even try to fight back most of the time but clearly this video contradicts that what makes it even more impressive is that this gorilla likely has never grown up in a wild before and yet it showed no signs of fear when confronting a potential predator so imagine how a wild gorilla would act make an even more unlikely that leopards really go after and can even kill fully adult gorillas it also gives the gorilla a decent advantage when fighting a lion or a bear because it definitely wouldn't run away and it will even throw sand in the enemies face which could definitely increases it's odds of victory since if aimed correctly the opponent will probably go blind but anyway the point is they didn't actually fight so we can argue all day who would win you already know who I'm siding with but we should definitely keep in mind the gorillas aren't cowardly and will definitely confront the intruder or any potential threat

This is NOT the San Diego Zoo

Omg the gorillas must be terrified...

Well this was a VERY interesting ordeal

Do you remember the raccoon that got into the gorilla closure it didn’t work out too well for the raccoon !

How come to humans are rooting for the dog over the gorilla when gorillas are far closer to humans on the evolutionary tree?

Am I the only one wanted gorilla to catch ‘em

I think they should have let the dog stay in the enclosure and fed them all. Gorillas aren't territorial and don't really harm other species. There are gorillas living with deer and they get along just fine.

That dog's a$$ was only moments away from being grass. Gorillas are fiercely dangerous, territorial animals. Had he attacked that dog, he would have most certainly tried to killed it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh my gosh I hope something doesn’t happen to the dog.
