  • In June 2017 our Chairman, Damian Aspinall and his wife, Victoria, made a special trip to our project in Gabon to oversee the transfer of a young gorilla group from the sanctuary where they met, to our Gorilla Protection Project in the Batéké Plateau National Park.
    During their trip, Damian and Victoria met up with Djalta and Ima; two male gorillas from Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent, who made the journey back to the wild in 2003.

He doesn't know who she is and yet after only one time seeing her, he is showing her his full affection and attention. So sweet. Btw, I find it hilarious that the other gorilla was sitting there like watching a tv show and wondering what's gonna happen next lol.

      Hell, sometimes I swear even my cat understands laughing and crying and absolutely knows the difference.
      They both definitely get visibly upset when we laugh AT them and not when we just laugh in general.

      It's a similar thing with dogs too. Dogs can look guilty when they do something bad, but studies have found that dogs don't actually feel guilt at all, but people think they do because of their facial expressions

      Leave it up to liberal animal lovers to get anal tickled over them laughing at the Gorilla, like you blow hards know how the Gorilla was really feeling while they laughed. Get a sense of humor and don't act like offended cupcakes.
