Gorilla Mother Admires Human Baby - Shows her own Family 

Hello beautiful, how are you doing today.

​@@rubendaniel249💀

​@@rubendaniel249creep... that definitely works a whole 0% of the time.

That makes this 1000% more beautiful and special ❤❤❤

@gameboyunboxings...You're right about that!😂

They are living in a hotel with daily room service.

Agreed, in some parts of Africa people eat them. 😔

@@KameraShy If you mean the gorillas. It's definitely a prison and not hotel. They're unable to checkout when they want.

You do know that large primates are heavily poached right? Being in a zoo is saving their lives Edit: to all the people saying I'd rather die than be in prison etc... umm the big difference is WE ARE 8 BILLION STRONG and they are down to what? A thousand? Also they aren't in cages but nice habitats. Yeah humans die, but we aren't being hunted to extinction. These are straw man arguments.

I don't think so. Gorillas are one of the world's most endangered animals, and in the wild their numberes continue to decline due to deforestation and human competition (including being hunted for bushmeat of all things). At least in a zoo enclosure, a gorilla faces zero threat of being poached, and their dietary intake and health are carefully monitored. Gorillas in captivity live far longer on average than those in the wild (50 years compared to 40 years). Sure, a zoo enclosure isn't the ideal environment, but again, far, far better than the alternative since allowing them to exist in the wild these days is a risky proposition.

Its okay for men to cry. Especially at such a beautiful sight. It means you have a heart and compassion. Which makes you a real man. Woman find that extremely attractive. Unless shes a cold hearted herself.

You have compassion. Thats a good thing.

The working part was unnecessary

Thank God. I was beginning to feel a little weak lol

​@@kisumufilms1495I think he means construction. Makes you a little rougher around the edges. There's no room for soft heartedness on job sites like that

The gorillas just don't want to pay taxes

Except for leftist democrats...

It's strong in ALL species and 😍🥰😩☺😊💛 it's just some humans just need to take notes from animals..

I agree with the human part but some species in the wild once you breathe on your own you're on your own ❤️

Yes, especially at cuocas.

@@shaleececarter6570 No, FAR from all species have a 'strong motherly instinct'. Many lay eggs and immediately leave permanently.

You’re so right 😢

We? I've never harmed any animal, stop tarnishing us all with the same brush

imagine be a tree hugger and claiming humans have hurt gorillas.

Might be due to expansionist cultures according to Rob Craig Kirkpatrick. Seems like the government as a byproduct of agricultural/pastoral revolution will always be in need for more consumers, wage-slaves and cannon fodder regardless of ideologies such as antinatalism based on consent and efilism.

N destroying their nature

Motherly instinct is a thing.

To be fair, a great deal of them are rescues.

​@pollall2793 Or born in captivity. I dont think a prison comparison is fair. One is punished in a prison. They are treated quite well and zoo enclosures have become so much larger than in times past.

If so trusting, put your infant into her arms

I HOPE he's not talking about the gorilla video instead of the robot video.

it's stunning how similar they are to us but they are also similar to us in their ability to violence , it's also true for chimps , orangutans and other apes I guess that the good comes with the bad but those type of videos are wholesome , and It's just shows us that those animals are more similar to us than we think.

@@muffin6369 The gorilla has feelings bruh. Humans and gorillas aren't that different.

They have the intelligence of a 7-9 year old. Some even more intelligent. Bonobos especially there is on Kanzi they say has an IQ between 75-95. Simply amazing.

I mean… They’re literally our closest cousins. Humans are apes too. We’re not just morphologically similar, we’re behaviorally similar as well.

Most animals do. What they _don't_ do is make it a part of every conversation. 🙄

Hey guys I'm vegan!

@@jamesfranklin5476 Isn't pride a deadly sin?

& dogs & cats are nothing compared to the really intelligent animals. I rescued 2 parrots a couple of years ago, I've had ample pets during my life, including very smart German Shepards, but they are nothing compared to parrots, with parrots being in there along with great apes & the dolphin family in intelligence levels. Parrots are viewed as having the general intelligence of a 5 year old & mental intelligence of a 2-3 year old, very different experience to a dog or cat. But please people, only consider experiencing this yourself if you really would be willing to take on the responsibility of a monkey species or similar & a pet lifespan of many, many decades (with a plan for where it goes when you die if you buy a large parrot as a baby, cause they live 100 years)

she was correct /the other day I washed my dog outside - she is not a fan but puts up with it. I had used the words BRUSH BRUSH AS i USE use a soft rubber brush to massage the soap in her coat. The rest of the time brush brush means brushing her coat. she is erhy placid and fully and full of sprit. However, I said Brush brush the next day to get her to cme to me for a coat brush.. she growled.. I knew instinctively she thought I was going to bathe her again, and she was telling me.. not likely, we ony did it yesterday.. I can only ake so much you know.! I ony had to say No ently and sthe stopped. They do work things out, have different personalties and feelings. half and hour later.... she was fallign asleep next to me on te soifa. .snuggling close. she has no problem with me.. but thought I was washing her two days running and wasn;t having it, lol.

If we were thinkning to respect only intelligent beings and lock up the rest for pleasure , then we should lock up the Human race .. Locking any Animal up is a sin, we will pay for it one day . The worst thing is parents pay and fund these places .

As opposed to any other species of animals currently living?

The mother with the newborn was Kiki’s caretaker. She was away on maternity leave and came to show Kiki her beautiful newborn. Kiki also recently had a baby as well. This is beautiful and these animals are well taken care of

@@AlesAmazighhumans

@@AlesAmazighwhy do prick’s like you always try to turn something into a negative?

I wish the same, my friend. 🙏🏽❤️

Unfortunately, It's never gonna happen. We are a violent species after all

I got to wonder if this "Kiki" had babies once ... and they are somewhere else ... 😢😭😫

Saddest thing is Kiki and her family are safer in captivity than free where the hunters are

*hugs* I'm not sure what it will take for the majority of us to stop letting the minority dictate our actions.. but yeah.. I would be happy in that world.. ❤

what a surprise...

As a man with no kids, I can also feel the shared motherly love between the gorilla and the baby's mother.

Any ape should recognize the beauty of their offspring instinctively. Humans, I think, lack that trait in some areas.

I'm a man.

Gorrilas are also capable of extreme violence against their own kind and others and even canabilism. Don't let a few minutes of maternal curiosity colour your entire judgment of them. Of course, the same could be said of humans. Okay so canabilism in humans is very rare. Hey maybe they could learn a thing or two from us.

​@@Lorothsyou're talking about chimpanzees. These are gorillas, so please get it right even if you're objectively trying to ruin someones day.

No father on the scene.

@@hardlines2635 lmao

New mommies live to show off her babies.

@@hardlines2635 😂

@@hardlines2635 That's not true! The human baby's father filmed this video (or was at work), and the gorilla male was just tending to one of his other wives (or children) somewhere nearby! 😉

Thren explain why women think abortion is birth control. And why women use their children as pawns in divorces. And why the largest percentage of inmates come from single mother homes.

Only if humans understood this… we let race separate us…

Remember to go vegan. Dairy means mother.

Take a peak inside a dairy farm.

Who talks like this? Who are you performing for?

Hello Linda, how are you doing today.

She was9 begging to be treated with compassion and to be freed. This animal was jailed so white people can coo over its compassion while having none themselves. Wow!

It's very presumptious of you to say "Kiki's one and only human mum friend". Do you believe no other 'human mums' visit Kiki?!

yes, they should set up play dates! 😊

❤

@@trueaussie9230 I’m sure she has many “mom friends” ❤

Beautifully stated. Thank you.

Absolutely! Well said! I couldn't agree more!

Tom, you have a gift for communicating through the written word. :^) I agree with most of what you wrote. But we can offer them love & a good home. Thinking of pets here. You have a dog so you know. My dog is a rescue. He was turned over to me instead of going to a shelter by the K9 cops, after my friend's landlord said the dog had to go. He'd chased a child and nipped at her - no blood, no broken skin. I already loved him and he had no trouble coming with me! He's got a much better life now anyway. I cook for him & he's getting quality food. No more having to sneak food that was left on a plate, just because the guy spent all his money on alcohol instead of a sack of dog food. 😪 I felt so sorry for the dog because he's a very smart, well behaved, sweet little Jack Russell Terrier with a funny sense of humor. ❤❤❤ I love him so much! Mine for 8 years now, so that makes him approximately 12-13 years old. Have a great day, Tom. :^)

@@GuantanamoBayBarbie3 Thank you, GBB. God bless you for saving that soul. "Mankind owes epochs to the domestic dog". I think it was actually Hitler who said that, and it's true. To the clear and compassionate mind it's obvious. In this age, it seems we devalue wisdom in favor of technical know-how. The rest of the mammals in our world favor wisdom, and I think that's an advantage.

Exatamente, eu também vejo isso nos olhos dos animais, toda pureza e bondade. Quem somos nós para nos acharmos melhores que eles?

OMG, I'm bawling! How incredibly touching!

Human mom had her stupid mask on.

This animal was jailed so white people can coo over its compassion while having none themselves. Wow!

Same here!!! ❤❤❤❤

She wants freedom and compassion not incarceration and to be treated like an animal in the Zoo. She was begging to be treated with compassion and to be freed. This animal was jailed so white people can coo over its compassion while having none themselves. Wow!

These intelligent creatures belong in their natural habitat.

​@@annmahoney8921they do but they get hunted a large contained area is much better than death

@@annmahoney8921 and we have to protect them and what habitat is left for this very reason.

@@iamworthy1302 No! Don't just prosecute the hunters, EXECUTE the hunters, then the message would start to get through to them. By putting them in a large cage, it's as good as telling the hunters, they're free to carry on hunting the ones in the wild.

And just like humans, some of those ole silverback males can be MEAN S.O.B.'s!

@@poetcomic1 Females are far from perfect - in Human or Gorilla "form", especially in the modern era!

Males of some species kill the babies that are not theirs when they take over leadership of a group, so don't get quite so dewy-eyed about them. Of course, there are humans who do that, too.

@@vintagelady1 Yes, they are called live in boyfriends.

@@poetcomic1😂😂😂😂

I was just wondering why no one had mentioned the adorable human baby. The human mother was sweet too. Yes. Gorillas are beautiful too. But so are we! Thank you for mentioning the human baby.

​@@Carolinejoyamicowe all know human mothers can be beautiful. The reason they mentioned the ape is because the video was about her reaction

It was beautiful

This isn't her channel.. 😂 oblivious much?

It was all planned for the likes geesh.

And yet we trap them in encolsures where they live out their lives in captivity versus a vast rainforest or jungle

Maybe the gift of freedom. I'm sure they'd appreciate that more than a stuffed toy.

you say this like the jungle isn't full of threats of its own. I'm not saying captivity is the best thing in the world, but not all gorillas have the chance to live a full life and or raise their young. Captivity is a blessing in comparison to being poached and dismembered with parts sold in underground markets. Captive wild animals are typically rescues of situations like deforestation or poaching with lengthy backgrounds you can hear from their owner/trainers, and read about through third party outlets like the web or foundation pamphlets. Captivity has aided in extinction prevention of countless species since the beginning of time.@@slothy6096

That's a huge difference, 4%, being that all humans only vary by 1% difference in DNA.

Category Genetic Similarity Humans and Humans 99.9% Humans and Chimps 98.8% Humans and Dogs 94% Humans and Cats 90% Humans and Cows 80% Humans and Fruit Flies 60% Humans and Bananas 60%

Genetic manipulation at some point for sure

It's 1.75% gorilla to humans. Chimps to humans it's 1.37%.

@@joseh3564 It's actually only 1.75% difference for Gorillas. Human to human it is 0.1% difference. That's 17.5x greater difference with gorillas.

You are beautiful too.

@@aspiknfthis guy😭

sentient beings????????? you think??? ffs

@@gabrielzachary9704 give a gorilla a fish, dude

Well said. I believe very strongly this is true. 👏👏👏👏

Don't look up Human Zoos. Only 100 years ago. "Barbarians" put on display for all to see. Sad history of our "superior" european "race"

@@fractalehuit9112 I think it bothers most people but the fact is that this seems to be a zoo or sanctuary in the U.S. judging by the language and the accents of the visitors, most likely but of course I can’t be sure. At least in the U.S. the law doesn’t allow any longer for primates to be removed from their natural habitat and kept in confinement. These Gorillas are unfortunately the descendants of gorillas who were most likely poached from the wild so that is of course sad. The thing about it though is that these western lowland gorillas are an extremely endangered species so they couldn’t just allow all of those gorillas that were originally taken from the wild back during the 20th century to simply die off without allowing them to pursue their natural drive to reproduce. Giving birth, as well as raising their own infants, even in captivity is a critical component to giving these animals a fulfilling life, at least as best as it can be while in captivity. The issue at the heart of the discussion is that primates are not born with the skills to survive life in the wild. Like human beings they have to spend their first 4-8 years clinging to and nearby their mothers in order to watch and learn all the necessary skills needed for surviving a life in their natural habitat. Everything from what fruits, vegetables, insects, plants and other wild edibles are safe to eat, which plants, insects and other poisonous or dangerous objects they should avoid. How to build sleeping nests in the trees so they can avoid the larger ground based predators that typically hunt during the night. Although building sleeping nests high in the tree tops is more commonly seen with Chimpanzees and Orangutans rather than gorillas. Unfortunately, the last generation of gorillas in zoos and sanctuaries that would have learned those skills from their mothers would have been the first generation of primates taken from the wild back during the 20th century, before anti-poaching laws had been passed in the U.S. When that generation reproduced, some of those skills may have been taught to their offspring in captivity, but unfortunately necessity dictates how much of those skills the young are exposed to, which would diminish with each new generation. It’s a difficult situation, I’m not sure what the answer is honestly, letting these animals go free in the wild has been tried and shown by Primatologists to end with disastrous results, unless the primates can be trained with the skills they need to survive in the wild over the course of many years by well trained human caregivers. This is something that the conservation organizations in Borneo and Sumatra have been doing with orphaned and captive Orangutans for the past 25 years with quite a bit of success. The animals need to be extremely young when training for survival in the wild begins, but they have seen a lot of success. Hopefully more organizations like that will come into being and will be able to help return many of these animals to a life in the wild as nature intended.

@@Jmacdonald2386wow …they’re a lot like humans in the way that once you’re cut off from your history, culture, traditions, and any knowledge your ancestors had before you you’re screwed.

Hopefully you're not a guy...

@@fractalehuit9112Just couldn’t let her have her beautiful words without trying to make her look like a callous person huh? 🤣

You're crying? You're unhinged.

na, more perfect would have been when they're saying "take a photo", take the photo, then show it to the gorilla, or maybe even print it off & give it to the zookeepers & ask them to give it to the gorilla

I thought too, that the human should have put her hand on the glass. Without that it looks like the gorilla is more passionate towards others than the human.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing when Kiki gorilla put her hand on the glass the mother should have also . It was a special moment of bonding and so emotional. Animals are so precious and have feelings, even more than some humans sometimes. 💕💕🐒👶

I was waiting so hard for that to happen.

Agreed. It's clear who the intelligent, compassionate one in this video is and it isn't the human woman (what a shocker 🙄).

They are both apes, so it’s not surprising that they understand one another.

@@roems6396 exactly distant cousins

The female gorilla's interest in the human baby was so touching and genuine, and she clearly communicated it. Even sweeter when her own baby climbed onto her big arm, where the little one could be admired by the other mom.

😂merveilleux

Absolutely. To me I connect emotionally to most mammals feeding or carrying their young. And mammal babies make me incredibly protective, even baby birds make me all tender...

It’s not sad that they are in zoos if threated properly there. But it is sad that humans do poaching, and perhaps the even bigger problem that we take away all the natural habitats of animals. This is why many animals face extinction. In this condition zoos are important as they take part in breeding programs and keep these species alive. It would be better that we make sure there are proper habitats for animals though.

well if they come out of that glass they will extict. They are already an endangered specie

@@allhappy8913 I'm certain she'd prefer to live life on her own terms - just like you. Every being should have the right of self determination. Unfortunately it is the human species that has overbred and destroyed this magnificent planet. Few people have reverence for nature/life.

Absolutely agree! I find this heartbreaking, not joyous at all. This wild animal is in cage for the rest of her life. I don’t support zoos or anything to do with animals forced into captivity.

@@DaveG01 poachers will kill them. Also, they lost much of their habitat.

They are safer there. Than in the wild. At least there not performing like at seaworld or circus? Or being beaten to death.

All I could see was Tarzan's mother Kala! 🫵😄😚😍

Tiff: Are you certain that animals in the wild have it better than those who get beautiful, clean enclosures, fresh water, food, medical, etc.? Looks like they won the Lottery living the resort life.

@@joseh3564 Nah, They been able to do it that's called wild life. Humans always interfering in something, if they die in the wild? it's call the circle of life, if close to extinct, they're no longer needed on the planet. They can clean, drink and do everything they'll need to do, they don't need a human to live life ( there normal life).

Sadly we have to do it for their protection. Deforestation and poachers kill too many of these innocent creatures for us to not protect some in sanctuaries.

@@YourPalKindred I hear you. but this way isn't how wildlife should live, in captivity. Just for show. If you go to any zoo, SeaWorld ECT, you can see the sadness & depression the act of wild isn't in them anymore. To not be able to hunt, pick a mate ect. That's sad. It's sad, but I'm sure they'll rather try to live in the wild or go instinct. I'm sure it's better than being in a cage or trapped just to keep them from going instinct, they say. No matter what when it's over its over no matter what, so let them free.
