- On our recently completed Uganda: A Trekking Adventure expedition, frequent Zegrahm traveler John King came across a family of silverback gorillas. Check out his incredible video, filmed by Zegrahm field director Jonathan Rossouw, of these gentle creatures.
1:19 I love the way the Silverback tugs at his son. I can almost imagine him saying "Come on, Junior. Don't bother the human."
I love Gorillas, man. They're so flipping cool.
Nothing more beautiful and great
3:43 And now the alpha male of the pack shall take his leave... with a farewell fart
Chizerz as they usually do
OMG those creatures are soooo beautiful. So gentle and family oriented. So much like humans but much more nicer.
50% this is magical - 50% I might die
Did that Silverback rip it at 3:47
He totally did
+jeremyhats I laughed so hard
BurtGasm a parting gift
BurtGasm he crop-dusted him
BurtGasm I had to go back a few times and make sure, i lost it rofl
The look on your face! What an amazing experience!
1:18 "stay away from the strange creature billy"

ProducShuns ""My name aint billy, mom! it's Tyrone"
+tantan tan :(
The best kind of inter-species interaction!! Look at Jonathan's face - euphoric, oh I'm so jealous.
That is an amazing experience right there. Well done for staying calm and letting the animals dictate the encounter in their time.
Fuck... why did I look at the comments -_-
TrueTacticia Why wouldn't you? The comments are the only reason I come to RUclips
Seriously....
TrueTacticia youtube comments are just the stupidest bullshit.
mistercath u r tha stupid bullpoo
GET REKT SCRUB xDDDlmao LOL
TrueTacticia This comment is not original anymore. How about you come up with something new to say instead of saying the same shit as everyone else.
If you can't deal with the comments, then just stay quiet.
Homie just got crop dusted by that silverback hahaha
Unbelievable footage. Simultaneously jealous and terrified.
That last look from the silverback male.. My God- "Hope you know you are a lucky man" ... ....
I cannot stop watching this incredible encounter. A dream trip & experience that "John" will never forget. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Two Worlds One Family.
Well Said :-)
Priceless moment. A very brave man.
3:40
Silverback: "Uh oh..." *Starts walking away*
Silverback: *Looks over shoulder* Sorry, guy! *farts and makes a quick escape*
Life Pro Tip: If you ever see one of these in the wild make sure to stare it in the eyes. You will show them you are the alpha male and they will respect you.
***** also be sure to make quick, sudden movements. It simulates play, and will make them more friendly towards you.
jummbl Don't forget to beat your chest and yell whilst doing so
***** LOL!
/sarc
***** I probably would've turned around and bitch slapped the male gorilla or cry and shit my pants
***** what stupid advice staring a gorilla out is the quickest way of making them feel threatened. You should keep quiet and eyes lowered.
haha at the end the male sees his wife is too interested in that guy so he leaves and stares the guy down and farts on his way out. champion
crosshairs3 Yes when other males would start a fight :)
This will never, ever get old. Incredible footage, incredible animals, we should be grateful for them and more invested in their future.
Silverback recognizes silverback.
Best comment yet. And noone understands this line hahaha except me
at 3:47 the silver back totally lays out a fart on him as he walks off
Gage Harth Claiming his territory
I love how the silverback just gave you a farewell fart at ya in the end. like "Taa taa and farewell" *one gas leak* *leaves*
I love how the silverback gives him one final look before leaving.
Masters of dominance
I wouldn't say a single word. Where was the guy off camera that he thought it was safe to talk??
when not attacked or threatened, so many animals are sweeter than we think....what a fabulous experience that must have been; cool enough just to watch it! Thanks...
That silverback could have torn him in half. Pretty amazing.
They are beautiful sentient beings. So wonderful to see them in their natural habitat.
*Quietly humming Son of Man*
I love how the silverback gives the guy a dirty look then drops his guts and the rest just take off, it's like they know how bad it's going to stink lol
"Tell me what you're feeling now, John!" Dafuq do you think he feels? There's a fuking silverback just behind him. He's scared shitless. The slightest wrong move or look at him funny and he'll pick his teeth with John's collarbones.
Astonishing, at any moment those gorillas could rip us apart like a dog with a chew toy but much more easily.
So beautiful so fascinating
This guys face the entire time is hilarious.
I love how the Gorillaz just came by and visit the humans they were just as interested as we are of them.
That is totally awesome! The "family" just comes in for peek at the strange human-monkey...obseves him... and moves on....too funny...hard to know who was doing the most "studying" of whom, but apparently, the gorilla's got bored and moved on...Mr. King was as in his element....enjoying every moment of it...not bored at all!!
Absolutely beautiful and crazy experience, proves that animals aren’t necessarily agressive against humans as long as they’re left alone
3:46 that stare
That silverback, the entire encounter: if that thing makes a wrong move, I'm gonna pop it's skull like a grape.
Dude pissed himself
Shit, can you blame him? That's terrifying.
Mr. Unemployed Looks like a plant between his legs. It moves to a different part of his leg when the camera man changes his position.
Amazing, I watched it with a huge grin on my face :)
What an amazing experience, they are beautiful creatures
Where was Jonathan Rossouw sitting during this encounter? It didn't look like the gorillas noticed or heard him.
The baby gorillas probably thinks "Were have your hairs gone?"
What a brave few human-beings, just then and there.
I'm going to Uganda and Rwanda for a trekking in search for gorillas and I'm excited and a little bit afraid. I love gorillas, but it scares me that somthing wrong could happen. I'm searching for info and just seen your video and I must said I'm amazed. I think you've got the experience of your life. I hope something similar happens to me, but I'm sure you had an encounter like one of a million.
You can clearly see who the alpha male in the group was.
Awesome video.
Absolutely amazing! They are beautiful non-human persons!
What of shampoo do you use? Maybe they like it!! You are brave!!!
I didnt notice..brilliant the black shirt and silver hair haha bery funny and amazing experience I wish I had
Fascinating!!!
Gorillas frighten me. I know they are generally peaceful and are more likely to avoid conflict than instigate or escalate it, but rhey are still wild animals that could literally rip you limb from limb if they felt threatened.
Must be rly weird knowing that silverback could destroy you any time it wanted.
pretty much any animal could kill an unarmed human
These guys are gonna tell this story and show this video for the rest of their lives.
white man in the hood
Ivan Gonzalez Still safer then Detroit
b3nadry1 you're joking but its true
0:57 human dads wish they could be this much of a "boss" hehe! :))) but seriously.. they are so magnificent and curious and gentle.
Nothing scares me but safe to say I'd be bricking it, but at the same time an amazing experience.
The female showing affection shows she's closely related to warring, murdering, greedy, revengeful humans?
I just LOVE this video. What an amazing, incredible encounter.
If I browned my pants, I'd also consider it life-changing.
This is absolutely amazing......I had to share it!
Natures never let me down.
What an amazinbg experience!
Incredible! Thanks for sharing!
was he in danger? i assume he was not trying to make eye contact with any of them... i am guessing eye contact is a big no no but what about movement?
You wouldn't want to make any sudden movements. With the young gorillas present and dad right behind a sudden movement could cause the big male gorilla to go into a defensive mode at which time the man would have had about 30 seconds to consider what being a whole human being meant to him because his hands and likely feet would have been attacked instantly with a single bite into the palm and a quick jerk of the head taking off most of the fingers and/or toes and then probably right as the man realized what was happening the big male would have instinctively attacked humans genitals in the same manner and then a good 'ol face mauling would come next and this would have been just the first 15 seconds or so. Google St. James Davis. He was attacked by two chimps while visiting the one he and his wife raised in an animal sanctuary. He had his eye gouged out and had his fingers, testicles, buttocks, nose, and most of his face eaten. As far as primate go we humans don't fare well against most of our cousins.
Wow! That's so cool! Definitely a once and a life time thing!
Absolutely amazing! I love it!
So cool!
It is amazing he could hold still like that...I'm still working on kepping my hands still with my lizards....Very cool & sweet video, the are such smart animals. There are the closest animal to human, so it doesn't seem fair or resonable that they are endangered.
Other than that, great video!
Did you try to refrain from smiling?isn't that seen as a sign of aggression in most primates?
Where is this specifically?
Wow Amazing Report Thank-you!
1:18 "Get away from that naked weirdo, son"
Soon as the big male comes near, he dropped his eye contact fast....
i would shit on myself and pray so hard bro but you see this is why i watch these videos he knows exactly what not to do while encountering these animals NO Eye Contact Dont Touch Them Dont Even Move Too Much One Mistake You Pay The Price With Your Life
this silverback is a beast. man i wouldve pissed myself...
1:20 "C'mon, now, leave the nice human alone ... he's not bothering you ..."
where has the full length video gone?!
makes me smile everytime i watch this. SAVE our almost instinct animals. once there gone we will never seee them again so sad.
*That was incredible*
It's the same when human children come across a cat. The parents allow the children to examine the cat and play with it. The adults stand back and observe just to make sure the kids don't hurt the cat and the cat doesn't hurt the kids. That's what's going on here. The older gorillas are standing back allowing the baby gorillas to examine the human.
How close is the person that is filming this?
Dunno. Probably miles away with a big zoom lens.
Amazing to see.
Most incredible experience ever?
There are many more examples of peaceful encounters of different species. Human beings are mostly ignorant about them. I watched the peaceful encounter of a husky with two adult polarbears in the wild. But yes, the polarbears were not hungry at that time!
3:47 i think that was the sound of the guy shitting his pants.....LOL
3:47 the silver back farts and walks away lol
BurtGasm I most definitely believe he "ripped" at 3:47...bahaha
Incredible, what an experience
That silver back sh!tted 💨 in dude face 😂. So disrespectful .. den the gorilla 🦍 looked back at him .. 😂
I would've been so excited and scared at the same time...my life is so boring
Beautiful.
Great footage
This is amazing
i was grinning like an idiot the whole time watching this
idk,if one asked me word to describe these animals i'd say would be "unpredictable"
0:53 ''Who the f@#% threw that cigarette butt on my path?''
That is an amazing/scary encounter
Unbelievable, amazing!
that must of been a rush!
ScoopWhoop got me here!😂
-- Une sacrée rencontre. --
