    for everyone who doesn't know, when the gorilla is making those grunting sounds, it means that it is okay with your presence and is accepting you being there, in a non hostile manne.

      The silverback was just trying to get to a certain spot to feed and the people were obviously in his way. Why do humans automatically assume everything is about violence? You know they're not violent creatures, right? They're not chimpanzees. These gorillas are habituated to humans. Unless you threaten their family, they treat you as if you were just another creature in the forest. They ignore you....unless you're in their way. That silverback was quite patient. All they had to do was quietly scuttle over a bit.

      He was far enough away and his body language and the sound he was making (that gurgling noise) indicated that he was ok with them being there. If he felt threatened it probably would have been a different story. But that's why they all stayed still and kept their heads down in the beginning, to show they mean no harm. Plus I'm sure the guide also makes them feel safe

    There is a process by which mountain gorillas are 'tamed' to get used to the presence of strange humans. It's called habituation. For 2-3 years prior to introducing families of gorillas to tourists, guides and rangers interact with the gorillas to get them used to people. During Covid, when tourism came to a halt, it was feared the gorillas would revert to a more wild state, so the guides and rangers continued to visit them on a frequent basis.

      @@applefaye1816 Apparently the camera man was doing the growling sound as a way to communicate with the Gorilla, maybe that sound is also meant to communicate something? I don't know why else he'd be making that noise.

      @@kiauni6818 Well, true, but I think it depends on the animal, and of course how much you know about it. Like, some animals you're supposed to run, or climb a tree, or stay still, or act big and be noisy. It's also possible that the camera man has some sort of "moral obligation" to do that, so that if the Gorilla does attack, it will attack him instead. Maybe he has the Gorilla equivalent of Bear spray, or has a weapon or something that makes his chance of survival higher than that of the other people present.
      I'll just leave all that to the experts, I don't plan to ever be close enough to a Gorilla to know any better XD

    gorillas are much more intelligent than we have given them credit for. it would surprise me if that silverback was thinking, "i am going to scare the living shit out of this people just for fun!" he didn't appear to feel to threatened at all.
    how anyone could kill and eat such am amazing creature is beyond rational thought. to me, it would be like eating a human.

    That gorilla was thinking: "One wrong move, human. Just one wrong move is all you'll get."
