It is with deep sadness to see what the Gorillas have gone through. All animals deserve respect and to live their lives. They are jewels of this planet.❤️🙌🦍
That Medical Research Centre… What a horrible place, with the gorillas living in horrible conditions. The apes had no training to survive in the wilds. I’m speechless at the ignorance and cruelty of mankind. 😡
They sure skimmed over little Congos death real quick. So sad thinking that little baby, so loved by his family just suddenly died or disappeared pretty much in the first hour of them gettin full access. His sister adored him and helped hjs mother look after him. Extremely weird he would die at all let alone that quickly. Obviously there wasn't a lot of info to go off of but I feel they brushed passed it so quick barely giving it the acknowledgment I think it deserved. The little guy was so damn cute, I was heartbroken when I heard he was there and then just gone.😢
That mother gorilla came running to the humans for help, displaying not only intelligence, but also deep emotion and ... trust in the humans who, sadly, ignored her cry for help with scientific coldness or perhaps lack of emotional intelligence to understand the panic of a young mother in the process of losing her baby.
This whole situation with these gorillas wasn't right from the start. they never were properly trained to be let loose in the wild. These people are the worst I have ever seen on videos with gorillas. They failed horribly bad

Im so shocked and feel Soooo sad for these wonderful,intelligent animals, They were a close & happy family till people who it seems had no knowledge how to prepare this great family back into the wild, no mother would just leave her infant and run away, and even then the people doing the release never gave her the help that she cried out for, it was to early in the babies life to release her, It seems you all done it for your own reason, because you certainly didn’t do it completly for theirs,

Whose dumb idea was this! 🙄 you all are horrible for mishandling these gorillas 🦍 this way! Releasing them into the wild, when they were clearly raised by slow humans! That silverback couldn’t even adjust to walking on that ground. So how did you all think that the baby would survive!! This was heartbreaking! 💔
Watching ‘The adventure of the gorillas reintroduced in Gabon’ is an emotional and educational experience. The close-up shots and HD quality make you feel like you’re right there with them. Kudos to the filmmakers for this stunning piece of work!
Stunning? They done a horrible job with these gorillas. The worst I've ever seen. They never properly trained them for being ready to go in the wild. Any other videos out there,the people have all types of things for them to do,to have an idea of how and what to look for,but not these people. They failed horribly bad and hope they don't continue to do more. God bless the gorillas if they are
Too bad they destroyed a beautiful gorilla family in the making of this "emotional and educational experience." If that's what it was supposed to be about they should have hired actors in gorilla costumes, before putting this family into COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY DANGER, DISASTER, AND DESTRUCTION.😡
Also the dad will be forced to mate with his daughter when she is older.This not natural according to a study did by " Dian fossey" yet it will happen because they dont have any other non family members in the group.Maybe like they said they can introduce more into that area soon. Hopefully before the daughter comes into heat( or whatever its called) .If not and has babies by her dad this will contaminat their gene pool.This is the study fossey did on gorillas.
Its a wild gorilla's dream come true. They are magnificent, beautiful, and spectacular creatures. There are not enough words to describe. If these animals are pushed to extinction that would be an enormous loss and probably immeasurable. Humans and animals need to coexist. I hope everyone will feel that way one day soon.
Why on earth did they leave that poor baby gorilla with that people that murdered its mother? They left it to either die or be sold into abuse. Those people committed a crime in killing its mother so take the baby for f**ks sake. Unbelievable. I’m am so angry that a vet would walk away from that little soul. Locked in a box to cry its little heart out!
I could be wrong, but I don't think they want to invest in gorillas, just chimpanzees.I think they said this at the beginning of the program. It takes a lot of money and time to rear a baby gorilla. In the States, they ask for money to help support when raising the baby gorilla ( especially if they don't get funds or have big money coming in from admissions).I could be wrong, though.
They claimed self defense, obviously it’s bs but it’s not like they’re law enforcement just bc they’re white lol. They probably were given the choice to buy it or gtfo.
If they take the baby gorilla, they would have to pay for him. Then it would be only a matter of time before that village has five more baby gorillas they want to sell. They are in poverty.
@@DogFiles they were told it’s a crime to kill an endangered species. Put the fear of arrest in them if they do it again. That baby is frightened and should be with people who know how to raise it and feed and care for it. I don’t care if they are poor . Find another way to survive. Gorillas are extremely endangered and could be gone from our planet if this continues.
incroyable cette réinsertion , il y a tellement d'animaux en captivité qui ne pourront jamais être réintroduit. Pour moi c'est une première et j'espère qu'il y en aura beaucoup d'autres suivant votre exemple. Merci beaucoup. J'aime beaucoup les grands singes et tous les animaux, Et pour moi les animaux sauvages doivent resté sauvages. Je ne supporte pas de voire un animal sauvage dans un appartement, puis abandonné. Merci encore.
I would suggest the Aspinall Foundation in England, run by generations of family - now led by Damian Aspinall and his daughters. They know what they're doing, they are knowledgable, trained, and they don't do play experiments. They run SUCCESSFUL conservation projects to PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES (many many gorillas have been SAVED) and have RETURNED CAPTIVE ANIMALS BACK TO THE WILD (not sending unprepared animals out there who have never lived outside of captivity.)
A drone would have been helpful in keeping track for the first week at least (if they had any). The baby gorilla maybe fell off the back of the mama from all the excitement of new environment and was never noticed. Tiny body hidden from the tall shrub. So sad!!
Péssimo, criminoso, amador, falta de respeito, empatia, ausência de inteligência, sensatez, amor aos primatas, sadismo, falta de noção, impunidade, é uma lista que não acaba, não é qualquer um que nasceu para ser cientista, pesquisador, e essa experiência perversa mostrou que a equipe não se importou não sabe planejar, não teve uma boa estratégia, foi muito triste, essa família gorila não precisava passar por isso, que burrice, muitos absurdos foram cometidos com animais criticamente ameaçados de extinção, essa pseudo equipe precisam ser denunciados😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
The way that the mother left the baby on the ground multiple times , I’m surprised the team didn’t go look for the baby in case she just left it somewhere,
Yes, your remark is relevant (surprising that there mother leaves him like that)..but hey, I'm not a specialist and "the return to nature", must, I think, take place without external intervention..It's also the subject of this reintroduction.
@@linkzelda1932 Chimpanzees do not particularly like gorillas..Besides, they attack gorillas to steal their babies and eat them..and yes!!! the chimpanzee is ommivorous while the gorilla is vegetarian, which makes all the difference between the two species.
@@linkzelda1932 850 / 5 000 But the opposite is something else... the chimpanzee is ommivorous, fighting, therefore eats meat... moreover we have seen Chimpanzees attack families of gorillas to take their children and in fact eat them.. While the Gorilla is much stronger than a Chimpanzee but it is not in its nature to fight against another weaker one. This is why if you meet a Gorilla in the wild, it will not attack you. will not attack (he is a hervibore)..you lower your head in submission, you step back and he will leave you alone..because he knows that you are the weakest and that you do not attack him..Don't Don't stare into his eyes though, that's a sign of aggression. And a simple "slap on the shoulder" and you're dismembered? he has incredible strength..But no problem with a gorilla if you respect a certain distance..
Other groups have successfully rehomed captive gorillas and chimpanzees. These groups should have been consulted to discuss what went right and what went wrong in their efforts before any action was taken by this group. This group of scientists seemed to not have studied and thought about all of the problems that could be involved and then implemented a true plan that covered contingencies. When you are dealing with different groups of people it is necessary to understand what is important to each group. For example, take the villagers. The scientists just went to one house where the people had murdered the mother gorilla to get the baby and the scientists tried to convince that family that there wasn't any money to be made selling the baby so just give the baby to them. It was obvious that the family wanted and needed money to buy food, clothing, land, etc. for their own family members. The scientists offered the villagers NOTHING for SOMETHING. It seemed that no one had ever had any contact with VERY important groups of people, the political leaders and the contributors/investors, to have successful interactions and negotiations. Let's talk about the scientists and the purpose of the Research Facility. The big facility that they worked for had a totally different purpose than to rehome primates. Their purpose was to use primates for medical research purposes. The chimps and gorillas were housed in small cages, not in any natural setting where they had any real social interaction with humans. And where was the recognized expert in rehoming that should have been on the team? Now for the most needed part of any project anywhere - MONEY!! Was enough money provided by generous and caring donor(s) to get this project to a successful outcome? If you don't have a donor with a big wallet who is given good reasons to give a large portion of that wallet over to a project which he/she cares about and sees a purpose to support, there isn't a reason for that person or group to hand it over to that project.
Very sad; a baby was lost and that didn't have to happen. Very sad. Clearly, the way this release would have to be done is give them a little more area each day until the caged area is so big you can completely take down walls, which would take a lot of money..or have a team that goes and stays with them in the forest until they are deemed comfortable. Only a family without a baby should be submitted for this release.
My theory is the family is hiding and protecting baby Congo from the uncaring scientists. The. Father especially weed too much to let harm come to his precious boy. Yes ?
After reading the comments I felt the need to say something. This documentary felt old to me and poorly funded maybe done long ago and done to best of their ability at the time and with the knowledge they had and the funding they had. They loved those gorillas and wanted the very best for them I am positive of that and were broken hearted over the loss of the baby they held and loved. We only saw they baby in this video and we loved him they held him and looked into his eyes and I know they loved him very much . If they could have saved him they would have. I have been involved in the rescue of primates for most of my life. I know they loved the little baby and did the best for all of that family becaused they cared.
Why the hell are these "researchers" playing with these gorillas lives??!! Something killed the baby or it was dropped and injured and left to die - what did these people do about it? It happened in less than an hour!!! This was obviously NOT the way to do this! I'm sorry, but more experienced zoologists, vets, animal care specialists - whatever, should have been involved here. Seeing the mother walking upright and back with no baby, looking so distraught, was one of the most upsetting things I've ever seen! It should not have been done this way! I just find it hard to stomach! Damn. Damn Damn.
Sólo hay que escuchar los gritos de pánico y dolor, cuando, supuestamente (encima de estae indefensos y confinados en jaulas), se les acercan, estos siupuestos "rescatafores".😊
I wondered about that too. In the wild when a female gorilla reaches puberty she typically starts to wander away from her family group in search of an unrelated male to mate with; it's an instinctive thing to prevent inbreeding. Young males also leave their family troops but usually at a slightly older age. In this case, if there are no other gorillas on the island, the daughter would probably be inclined to stay with her family, as they don't like to be solitary.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci Except that these gorillas' natural lives have been totally destroyed by these useless "scientists." We already know that gorillas are smart, majestic, gentle, amazing animals. WTF. I can't believe they put that poor baby in a situation where it immediately died. Intensely irresponsible.
Je remercie tout le monde d’avoir tenté une expérience pleine de risques. Entre-temps, un jeune homme a immédiatement disparu, sans laisser de trace. Tous les autres devront être nourris à vie. Un gorille vit jusqu’à 40 ans. Où en sera votre organisme de bienfaisance dans 40 ans ?
Dian Fossey n'aurait jamais rendu le bébé gorille à ce braconnier qui a tué sa mère. Bien que ça soit une autre époque, jamais il ne fallait lui rendre ce petit.
I’ve seen a team who saves gorillas in the past on RUclips they just tell the person it’s against the law we have to take it and they walk away with the baby.Of course best to have law-enforcement with you.
Hello from Ontario Canada I am sooo very happy to know that they will be returned to their natural habitat. Seeing these big strong beautiful gorillas behind bars makes me feel physically sick to my stomach. They look soooo out of place behind bars. Thank you sooo much for your wonderful video. ❤😊
Yes let's release a domesticated gorilla family with a newborn baby into the wild, wonderful idea! Absolutely nothing will definitely go wrong! Oh what the baby immediately died? oh well, that would have been impossible to predict, no one could have possibly seen that coming.
Je ne suis pas du tout un spécialiste, alors si j'ai bien compris, ils faudra constamment les nourrir car ils n'ont pas eu leurs parents pour leur montrer quoi manger dans la forêt ? donc cette réintroduction est-elle vraiment réussie ? J'aimerais votre avis..
Просто нашли себе занятие.Там есть растения,вот и будут их есть.Им дают тоже самое и в клетках.Только лечение будет трудно осуществить.У самок очень часто не бывает молока,поэтому в неволе их подкармливают.Ну,а теперь будут дохнуть,как в природе.
This reintegration is incredible! So many animals in captivity can never be reintroduced. For me, this is a first, and I hope many others follow your example. Thank you so much. I love great apes and all animals, and I believe wild animals should stay wild. I can’t stand seeing a wild animal kept in an apartment, only to be abandoned later. Thanks again. Do you think there’s enough awareness about the importance of keeping wild animals in their natural habitat?
Superbe de voir des personnes dévoués.... et faire les choses comme il le faut du moins au mieux qu’ils peuvent !!! Ces gorilles vont pouvoir avoir une nouvelle chance nouvelle vie superbe
You have broken my heart with your experiment. I have cried for days. You destroyed this beautiful family. You have zero common sense. A newborn released into the wild ?!?! Natural Habitat?!?! Their natural habitat is the medical facility where they were care d for and had shelter. You left them without shelter You left the baby so vulnerable You left the family vulnerable, no shelter, they don’t know how to forage for food What the hell were you thinking What happens when it rains They fear gettting wet Look at them at a zoo setting and see I am so upset I grieve this wonderful family They cherished their little Congo Shame on you all How will you make this right Make it right In China, at least, they provided container type shelters for their release Are you going to Dave/ rescue your experiment family Or will you leave the beautiful family to perish Profound sadness and tears
THANK YOU! I couldn't agree more, you've put it perfectly, sadly. This experiment broke my hear and brought me to sobbing tears as well, and it does over and over whenever I think about it - I first saw it a while back. My God, not only should they lose whatever license or permission they got to screw around with ("research"🙄) the lives of these beautiful critically endangered creatures, they should never be allowed to go near gorillas again, in fact they should be held LEGALLY responsible for CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, hell, for CRIMINAL PRE-MEDITATED ENDANGERMENT of this FAMILY!!!!!!!!! Yes, this was a FAMILY!!!! Better than a lot of humans, that's for sure - certainly better than the humans who did this to them! 😡
Great documentary. I hate it when I see poachers kill the momma to sell the baby. This is so sad. I love gorillas and it makes me so angry to see this happen. I am torn between captivity (zoos) and leaving all gorillas in their natural habitat, so this is the only reason I would agree with wildlife being in captivity, safe from poachers. It was for his own good, but at 21:46, that was funny. The ending was sad. Poor Congo!☹
This is a terrible trial, the operation for the transmitter, disaster, the table not big enough, no clamps or straps to hold hands and feet just terrible 😢
Look up THE ASPINALL FOUNDATION in England. It's a charity that runs two wildlife parks and conservation projects around the world. They've been doing it for several generations of the Aspinall family, and unlike the types of travesties seen in this video, they actually KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND THEY LOVE THE ANIMALS THAT THEY CARE FOR. THEY ARE DEDICATED AND DON'T PLAY AND EXPERIMENT I THE NAME OF "RESEARCH." They work to promote wildlife conservation, habitat conservation, PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES, and return captive animals back to the wild. The son of the founder runs the charity (Damian Aspinall,) with the help of his daughters and a large group of dedicated people.
A la question ; " que seront-ils demain ? " , justement nous le public voudrions bien le savoir ; y a-t-il ou y aura-t-il une suite et d'autres. documentaires produits et publiés sur ces sujets d'étude ?

That silverback couldn’t even adjust to walking on that ground. So how did you all think that the baby would survive!! This was heartbreaking! 💔
Watching ‘The adventure of the gorillas reintroduced in Gabon’ is an emotional and educational experience. The close-up shots and HD quality make you feel like you’re right there with them. Kudos to the filmmakers for this stunning piece of work!
Stunning? They done a horrible job with these gorillas. The worst I've ever seen. They never properly trained them for being ready to go in the wild. Any other videos out there,the people have all types of things for them to do,to have an idea of how and what to look for,but not these people. They failed horribly bad and hope they don't continue to do more. God bless the gorillas if they are
Too bad they destroyed a beautiful gorilla family in the making of this "emotional and educational experience." If that's what it was supposed to be about they should have hired actors in gorilla costumes, before putting this family into COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY DANGER, DISASTER, AND DESTRUCTION.😡
La doctora que graba todo esto es inhumana.
Quand Mabeke rend le classeur bleu c' est bluffant .😊
Also the dad will be forced to mate with his daughter when she is older.This not natural according to a study did by " Dian fossey" yet it will happen because they dont have any other non family members in the group.Maybe like they said they can introduce more into that area soon. Hopefully before the daughter comes into heat( or whatever its called) .If not and has babies by her dad this will contaminat their gene pool.This is the study fossey did on gorillas.
amazing work these people are doing I wish I was there to save them❤
Great documentary ❤❤
Its a wild gorilla's dream come true. They are magnificent, beautiful, and spectacular creatures. There are not enough words to describe. If these animals are pushed to extinction that would be an enormous loss and probably immeasurable. Humans and animals need to coexist. I hope everyone will feel that way one day soon.
Why on earth did they leave that poor baby gorilla with that people that murdered its mother? They left it to either die or be sold into abuse. Those people committed a crime in killing its mother so take the baby for f**ks sake. Unbelievable. I’m am so angry that a vet would walk away from that little soul. Locked in a box to cry its little heart out!
I could be wrong, but I don't think they want to invest in gorillas, just chimpanzees.I think they said this at the beginning of the program. It takes a lot of money and time to rear a baby gorilla. In the States, they ask for money to help support when raising the baby gorilla ( especially if they don't get funds or have big money coming in from admissions).I could be wrong, though.
They claimed self defense, obviously it’s bs but it’s not like they’re law enforcement just bc they’re white lol. They probably were given the choice to buy it or gtfo.
If they take the baby gorilla, they would have to pay for him. Then it would be only a matter of time before that village has five more baby gorillas they want to sell. They are in poverty.
@@DogFiles they were told it’s a crime to kill an endangered species. Put the fear of arrest in them if they do it again. That baby is frightened and should be with people who know how to raise it and feed and care for it. I don’t care if they are poor . Find another way to survive. Gorillas are extremely endangered and could be gone from our planet if this continues.
I couldn't agree more. 🥺
Gorillas
So wrong to treat them this way(as experiments) I found this documentary sad and disturbing
incroyable cette réinsertion , il y a tellement d'animaux en captivité qui ne pourront jamais être réintroduit. Pour moi c'est une première et j'espère qu'il y en aura beaucoup d'autres suivant votre exemple. Merci beaucoup. J'aime beaucoup les grands singes et tous les animaux, Et pour moi les animaux sauvages doivent resté sauvages. Je ne supporte pas de voire un animal sauvage dans un appartement, puis abandonné. Merci encore.
I would suggest the Aspinall Foundation in England, run by generations of family - now led by Damian Aspinall and his daughters. They know what they're doing, they are knowledgable, trained, and they don't do play experiments. They run SUCCESSFUL conservation projects to PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES (many many gorillas have been SAVED) and have RETURNED CAPTIVE ANIMALS BACK TO THE WILD (not sending unprepared animals out there who have never lived outside of captivity.)
A drone would have been helpful in keeping track for the first week at least (if they had any). The baby gorilla maybe fell off the back of the mama from all the excitement of new environment and was never noticed. Tiny body hidden from the tall shrub. So sad!!
This documentary takes place in a year 2000. No drones.
Too bad they didn't know how to do it properly.
Bravo !! A toute les équipes un travail formidable !!
Péssimo, criminoso, amador, falta de respeito, empatia, ausência de inteligência, sensatez, amor aos primatas, sadismo, falta de noção, impunidade, é uma lista que não acaba, não é qualquer um que nasceu para ser cientista, pesquisador, e essa experiência perversa mostrou que a equipe não se importou não sabe planejar, não teve uma boa estratégia, foi muito triste, essa família gorila não precisava passar por isso, que burrice, muitos absurdos foram cometidos com animais criticamente ameaçados de extinção, essa pseudo equipe precisam ser denunciados😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
As a scientist why would you not want to know what happened to the baby,every single gorillas should be protected.
@connieso199 Absolutely! 😡Wondering about this "scientist" label being used here, didn't seem apt.
I'd like to know what happened to the baby. They should've put a tracker on the whole family.
My dream job, above n before anything or anyone else, to be able to work with and save gorillas!!
The way that the mother left the baby on the ground multiple times , I’m surprised the team didn’t go look for the baby in case she just left it somewhere,
Yes, your remark is relevant (surprising that there mother leaves him like that)..but hey, I'm not a specialist and "the return to nature", must, I think, take place without external intervention..It's also the subject of this reintroduction.
@mhv8855
Yes, but gorilla do like chimpanzees do you not so much think?
@@linkzelda1932 Chimpanzees do not particularly like gorillas..Besides, they attack gorillas to steal their babies and eat them..and yes!!! the chimpanzee is ommivorous while the gorilla is vegetarian, which makes all the difference between the two species.
Dommage pour le bébé 😢
@@linkzelda1932
850 / 5 000
But the opposite is something else... the chimpanzee is ommivorous, fighting, therefore eats meat... moreover we have seen Chimpanzees attack families of gorillas to take their children and in fact eat them.. While the Gorilla is much stronger than a Chimpanzee but it is not in its nature to fight against another weaker one. This is why if you meet a Gorilla in the wild, it will not attack you. will not attack (he is a hervibore)..you lower your head in submission, you step back and he will leave you alone..because he knows that you are the weakest and that you do not attack him..Don't Don't stare into his eyes though, that's a sign of aggression. And a simple "slap on the shoulder" and you're dismembered? he has incredible strength..But no problem with a gorilla if you respect a certain distance..
Other groups have successfully rehomed captive gorillas and chimpanzees. These groups should have been consulted to discuss what went right and what went wrong in their efforts before any action was taken by this group. This group of scientists seemed to not have studied and thought about all of the problems that could be involved and then implemented a true plan that covered contingencies.
When you are dealing with different groups of people it is necessary to understand what is important to each group.
For example, take the villagers. The scientists just went to one house where the people had murdered the mother gorilla to get the baby and the scientists tried to convince that family that there wasn't any money to be made selling the baby so just give the baby to them. It was obvious that the family wanted and needed money to buy food, clothing, land, etc. for their own family members. The scientists offered the villagers NOTHING for SOMETHING.
It seemed that no one had ever had any contact with VERY important groups of people, the political leaders and the contributors/investors, to have successful interactions and negotiations.
Let's talk about the scientists and the purpose of the Research Facility. The big facility that they worked for had a totally different purpose than to rehome primates. Their purpose was to use primates for medical research purposes. The chimps and gorillas were housed in small cages, not in any natural setting where they had any real social interaction with humans. And where was the recognized expert in rehoming that should have been on the team?
Now for the most needed part of any project anywhere - MONEY!! Was enough money provided by generous and caring donor(s) to get this project to a successful outcome? If you don't have a donor with a big wallet who is given good reasons to give a large portion of that wallet over to a project which he/she cares about and sees a purpose to support, there isn't a reason for that person or group to hand it over to that project.
Very sad; a baby was lost and that didn't have to happen. Very sad. Clearly, the way this release would have to be done is give them a little more area each day until the caged area is so big you can completely take down walls, which would take a lot of money..or have a team that goes and stays with them in the forest until they are deemed comfortable. Only a family without a baby should be submitted for this release.
My theory is the family is hiding and protecting baby Congo from the uncaring scientists. The. Father especially weed too much to let harm come to his precious boy. Yes ?
Gorillas 🦍 don’t leave the babies for any reason. Maybe he got took from another animal.
Yes, I can't believe they were so irresponsible and also nonchalant about losing the baby IMMEDIATELY. It makes me furious.
After reading the comments I felt the need to say something. This documentary felt old to me and poorly funded maybe done long ago and done to best of their ability at the time and with the knowledge they had and the funding they had. They loved those gorillas and wanted the very best for them I am positive of that and were broken hearted over the loss of the baby they held and loved. We only saw they baby in this video and we loved him they held him and looked into his eyes and I know they loved him very much . If they could have saved him they would have.
I have been involved in the rescue of primates for most of my life. I know they loved the little baby and did the best for all of that family becaused they cared.
I just finished the doc and I'm wondering if little Congo was scooped up by another female?
@@JenikaVonLea It is very sad but we will never know.
@JenikaVonLe
Un serpent ?... Un animal sauvage ?..
“It’s ok if they wander bc we have a guy tracking them”- 30seconds later, cut to a lost baby & women shrieking mia gorillas’ names 🤦🏻♀️
I know, they were ridiculously incompetent. 🥺
Why the hell are these "researchers" playing with these gorillas lives??!! Something killed the baby or it was dropped and injured and left to die - what did these people do about it? It happened in less than an hour!!! This was obviously NOT the way to do this! I'm sorry, but more experienced zoologists, vets, animal care specialists - whatever, should have been involved here. Seeing the mother walking upright and back with no baby, looking so distraught, was one of the most upsetting things I've ever seen! It should not have been done this way! I just find it hard to stomach! Damn. Damn Damn.
So sad something happened to the baby. It certainly didn’t take long. Something scared mom out of there
No soy violenta, pero este caso es inhumano
Déjà vu mais bien une seconde fois 😊
was für intelligente Geschöpfe Gottes ❤❤
Sólo hay que escuchar los gritos de pánico y dolor, cuando, supuestamente (encima de estae indefensos y confinados en jaulas), se les acercan, estos siupuestos "rescatafores".😊
merci pour vos beaux reportage
Wouldn't the daughter gorilla will have to be relocated so that the father will not mate with her?
I wondered about that too. In the wild when a female gorilla reaches puberty she typically starts to wander away from her family group in search of an unrelated male to mate with; it's an instinctive thing to prevent inbreeding. Young males also leave their family troops but usually at a slightly older age. In this case, if there are no other gorillas on the island, the daughter would probably be inclined to stay with her family, as they don't like to be solitary.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci Except that these gorillas' natural lives have been totally destroyed by these useless "scientists." We already know that gorillas are smart, majestic, gentle, amazing animals. WTF. I can't believe they put that poor baby in a situation where it immediately died. Intensely irresponsible.
Je remercie tout le monde d’avoir tenté une expérience pleine de risques. Entre-temps, un jeune homme a immédiatement disparu, sans laisser de trace. Tous les autres devront être nourris à vie. Un gorille vit jusqu’à 40 ans. Où en sera votre organisme de bienfaisance dans 40 ans ?
It’s so beautiful
Vous m'avez conquis dès le début seulement avec le choix musical, ça annonce bien . Je vous reviendrai !
poor little congo
Lindos
Dian Fossey n'aurait jamais rendu le bébé gorille à ce braconnier qui a tué sa mère. Bien que ça soit une autre époque, jamais il ne fallait lui rendre ce petit.
C'est clair ! J'ai pas compris prq ils lui ont rendu, j'éspère au moins qu'ils ont prévenu les autorités
I’ve seen a team who saves gorillas in the past on RUclips they just tell the person it’s against the law we have to take it and they walk away with the baby.Of course best to have law-enforcement with you.
Sim isso foi triste coitado
Hello from Ontario Canada
I am sooo very happy to know that they will be returned to their natural habitat. Seeing these big strong beautiful gorillas behind bars makes me feel physically sick to my stomach. They look soooo out of place behind bars. Thank you sooo much for your wonderful video. ❤😊
This entire doc is an expose on how not to rescue gorillas. Paints a poor picture of humans, period.
Travail magnifique !
Im shouting the gorrila doesnt speak french! But it looks like they do 😮. Awesome 😊
Neat they need to be lwft alone. I have a bigger hunk of land on my property these enclosures are to small
How many languages do they understand? They are not only beautiful but very intelligent. My dream is to meet one. Im 70 and havee never seen one.
This animal fight left me with chills. Is this how it usually happens in the wild?
NO
Yes let's release a domesticated gorilla family with a newborn baby into the wild, wonderful idea! Absolutely nothing will definitely go wrong! Oh what the baby immediately died? oh well, that would have been impossible to predict, no one could have possibly seen that coming.
What in the world could’ve happened to that little baby so quickly?
I’m assuming she sat the baby down and then couldn’t find it in the vegetation :/. There were a few scenes where the baby was on its own nearby.
TQ Bray Lanjut
Je ne suis pas du tout un spécialiste, alors si j'ai bien compris, ils faudra constamment les nourrir car ils n'ont pas eu leurs parents pour leur montrer quoi manger dans la forêt ? donc cette réintroduction est-elle vraiment réussie ? J'aimerais votre avis..
Très bon raisonnement.
Cela n'est qu'un grand parc.
17:20 THAT RAT GORILLA SCREACHING NEEDS TO SHUT UP!
@@BenzoBob-ye2dc We avoid writing in capital letters, do you disembark on the internet or what are you the "service badger"?
Просто нашли себе занятие.Там есть растения,вот и будут их есть.Им дают тоже самое и в клетках.Только лечение будет трудно осуществить.У самок очень часто не бывает молока,поэтому в неволе их подкармливают.Ну,а теперь будут дохнуть,как в природе.
❤❤😢😢😅😅
This reintegration is incredible! So many animals in captivity can never be reintroduced. For me, this is a first, and I hope many others follow your example. Thank you so much. I love great apes and all animals, and I believe wild animals should stay wild. I can’t stand seeing a wild animal kept in an apartment, only to be abandoned later. Thanks again. Do you think there’s enough awareness about the importance of keeping wild animals in their natural habitat?
Merci beaucoup de montrer le plus positive d’espoir, j’ai senti dans mon corps pour les animaux la donne beaucoup d’espoir de ça
this doesn't feel right, many things feel wrong in how all this was done
Gli manca soltanto la parola sono intelligentissimi.❤
21:46 and 21:47 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he just collapse like he was about to sleep. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Superbe de voir des personnes dévoués.... et faire les choses comme il le faut du moins au mieux qu’ils peuvent !!! Ces gorilles vont pouvoir avoir une nouvelle chance nouvelle vie superbe
You have broken my heart with your experiment.
I have cried for days. You destroyed this beautiful family. You have zero common sense. A newborn released into the wild ?!?!
Natural Habitat?!?! Their natural habitat is the medical facility where they were care d for and had shelter.
You left them without shelter
You left the baby so vulnerable
You left the family vulnerable, no shelter, they don’t know how to forage for food
What the hell were you thinking
What happens when it rains
They fear gettting wet
Look at them at a zoo setting and see
I am so upset
I grieve this wonderful family
They cherished their little Congo
Shame on you all
How will you make this right
Make it right
In China, at least, they provided container type shelters for their release
Are you going to Dave/ rescue your experiment family
Or will you leave the beautiful family to perish
Profound sadness and tears
THANK YOU FOR SAYING ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT I AM ALSO FEELING ABOUT IT! So incredibly irresponsible and HIDEOUS! 😡😢
THANK YOU! I couldn't agree more, you've put it perfectly, sadly. This experiment broke my hear and brought me to sobbing tears as well, and it does over and over whenever I think about it - I first saw it a while back. My God, not only should they lose whatever license or permission they got to screw around with ("research"🙄) the lives of these beautiful critically endangered creatures, they should never be allowed to go near gorillas again, in fact they should be held LEGALLY responsible for CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, hell, for CRIMINAL PRE-MEDITATED ENDANGERMENT of this FAMILY!!!!!!!!! Yes, this was a FAMILY!!!! Better than a lot of humans, that's for sure - certainly better than the humans who did this to them! 😡
There is no real caring here. Just another EXPERIMENT, with no caste of the suffering, the confusion, or the outcome. Shame on all of you!!
Kim placing the baby on the back was so cool to see! This is an awesome documentary; I wish there were more!
When did this happen? And does anyone know how they are now and if anymore have been introduced?
This is a real loss
Khỉ đột ngoài thiên nhiên nhìn rất đẹp❤❤❤
Great documentary. I hate it when I see poachers kill the momma to sell the baby. This is so sad. I love gorillas and it makes me so angry to see this happen. I am torn between captivity (zoos) and leaving all gorillas in their natural habitat, so this is the only reason I would agree with wildlife being in captivity, safe from poachers. It was for his own good, but at 21:46, that was funny. The ending was sad. Poor Congo!☹
This is a terrible trial, the operation for the transmitter, disaster, the table not big enough, no clamps or straps to hold hands and feet just terrible 😢
Id love to go for my father, he wanted to go every since his brother went to study animals in Mexico
Look up THE ASPINALL FOUNDATION in England. It's a charity that runs two wildlife parks and conservation projects around the world. They've been doing it for several generations of the Aspinall family, and unlike the types of travesties seen in this video, they actually KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND THEY LOVE THE ANIMALS THAT THEY CARE FOR. THEY ARE DEDICATED AND DON'T PLAY AND EXPERIMENT I THE NAME OF "RESEARCH." They work to promote wildlife conservation, habitat conservation, PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES, and return captive animals back to the wild. The son of the founder runs the charity (Damian Aspinall,) with the help of his daughters and a large group of dedicated people.
Ive got 2 devices implanted....no biggie...thats a big beautiful boy!

This reminds me of some areas of Atlanta, GA.
very disturbing
A la question ; " que seront-ils demain ? " , justement nous le public voudrions bien le savoir ; y a-t-il ou y aura-t-il une suite et d'autres. documentaires produits et publiés sur ces sujets d'étude ?
Exactement !
WTF ! They gave that baby BACK to them??????🤬
Beau documentaire même si il as l’air vieux ...
La nature es magnifique et nous donne tellement respectons la !!!
Ils n’ont même pas chercher le bébé gorille rien savoir ce qu’il s’était passer
The fact a single great ape is in a cage on this planet is mind boggling.
enfin une très bonne action merci ❤
Euh personne se demande où es passer le bébé ?????
muito triste também pensava que ele iriam atrás pelo menos do corpo ou se ele foi abandonado mas nem isso
I SHOULD HAVE NEVER WATCHED THIS TERRIBLE HAPPENED TO THE BABY
This whole situation and video so upsetting they should be left alone like all animals in the wild
Что за мир.... Европейские правозащитники, ещё какие, тьфу....
