Coming Face to Face with an Enormous Mountain Gorilla!

in #dtube7 years ago


This is my first time trying out d.Tube!

I've been wanting to see gorillas in the wild for 20 years. When the opportunity came up to visit the Congo I couldn't have been more excited. Seeing Gorillas in the Virunga National Park would give me the chance to put my money into local tourism in this amazing place.

great video @dannystravels I bet you bricked it a little at first, but they are awesome creatures. Do you notice any human mannerisms with them?

I wasn't scared because they aren't a threat.. that's the sense I got from these caring animals. I didn't felt threatened at all. They are totally human - every expression is like our own! They can be bored, or inquisitive, or excited!

Oh I totally agree with you. I also saw baby gorillas play fighting with each other and I thought I was watching children.

Not too worried about Gorillas, but an alpha male chimpanzee, now that is something not to be reckoned with.

Cute video :)

When I read that title I remembered what I saw this morning the mirror. Didn't sleep well ;).
