The fact he knows the swipe gesture is incredible. Animals are super intelligent
They're us. Common ancestor. Just a different evolutionary trail for the last little while. We just came away with the keys is all; otherwise we would be the ones behind the glass looking out.
He likes that one girl and they told her to move. He wasn't having it and left. He came back when she sat back down. Amazing how intelligent he is. He isnt just an animal to take pictures by. He felt disrespected. Its so obvious.
He was just bored lol
When it comes to a silverback its all about respect, they are very smart, look up Michael the gorilla he was with koko the gorilla he learned sign language and on his own he told his caregivers about his mother being shot or murdered can't remember exactly
He be simping
I noticed that too
@@greywolf187 youre the reason why aliens havent visited us
He kept touching his forehead and ear as if he wanted to say “I got it” and “I can’t hear”. Whatever it is it’s simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.
The sign he was making with his hand from his ear to mouth is ASL for hearing or deaf, he also seemed to sign pretty and I like or love it.
@@jtalbot34 i agree
Jelani genuinely enjoys looking at the pictures! He is excited when he sees somebody he knows, and yes he does remember people ;-) He loves the company of hanging out with people and looking at their phones. The keepers have said that Jelani once had, if memory serves, a TV in his bedroom in the back. He did not look at it until people were around him! He genuinely enjoys human companionship!! He is an amazing being! I hope everyone gets the chance to hang out with him at least once!! It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and you will never forget it!! You can feel his peaceful Soul when you hang out with him!! It is indescribable!! Much love from the Bluegrass State!!
I hate to see an animal like him in captivity, but it's a good thing for people to be able to see them in person. To fully appreciate how magnificent they are and how important it is to support conservation efforts in the wild. The gorilla at the San Francisco zoo was my favorite exhibit by far when my son was little. Although he didn't didn't look too happy. He was bored out of his mind you could tell.
What's going on with his shaky hand? It looks like Parkinson's.
He looks like one smart dude to me.
@Glory Be To God Amen ca
Is this here in Kentucky?????
I always have mixed feelings when I see an animal trapped and contained in a zoo. Part of me feels for the poor animal' confinement. But another part of me feels great relief that they are protected from poachers, and preditors
RUBBISH. THEY SHOULD BE IN THE WILD.
Monics Hastings *predators*
Ditto
I never have mixed feelings seeing Apes and Chimps in the Zoo. They live healthier lives because they are being cared for. When you have seen one too many videos of wild baby chimps, monkeys, apes dying because they were hit by a car or they caught a cold you'll think the same way I do.
They should be in the wild it’s their flipping nature dude. Zoos are just prisons
This is language. This is two members of two different species communicating with each other. Amazing.
Without the glass
Thats call communicating
Well were in the same family so not surprising.
@The Logical Twit true...every living being as a soul...it doesnt matter who is stronger, or smarter...EVERY LIVING BEING HAVE A SOUL...all the souls are equal, no matter the body or size
Yes, it is! Some years ago it was discovered 2 or 3 gorillas learned sign language. This gorilla must have learned to communicate what she wanted by imitating humans. Neat!
It's so fascinating
OMG. He was telling the older girl she is pretty and touching his heart to say he loves her, I wish she tapped her heart back to him too. It was so smart of him to look at photos and sign a swipe motion for her to change the photo to the next one...so sweet and so smart! A gentle giant. ❤
They are very smart and beautiful and know how to treat their own kind they have a huge heart more then I can say about humans their is to much hate in the world but you look at these beautiful creature's and all you see is love he is a macnifesent beauty
@@jennyrules2694 I agree..gentle giants
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard
There's plenty going on in that brain. Magnificent creature
Of course there is, why wouldn’t there be?
animals are beautiful.
Yes they are ❤
Yes WE are.
Big Brother lmao yes
Not when it attacks
yes, but we are technically animals too. We just call alternate species' that to identify non-humans. We are not as beautiful as animals for sure, they are much more pure
I like the girl respecting the gorilla, she's like " i got you ma dude" and the gorilla actually felt the respect . While other children try to put their hands or phones just for attention or a pic he doesn't give em the respect back .
You can see how gentle and loving he/she is, sitting with the kids like they're having a show and tell moment.😆🤣♥️👏
Yep!! And when she shews a flie she's thinking ,,,"hmmmm lil ones actually got something very interesting today " and smiles.... Such a tender moment she's having,and the pure joy she's having ACTUALLY INTERACTING with those children!!!!!!!
Poor thing is locked in a cage, how would you like it if those roles were reversed and it was humans in those cages.
@@deborahwhitney9427 I TOTALLY agree with you! That's why I don't go to zoos or any places where animals are confined...I can't stand it.😔
It's a silverback - male. He's the alpha stud in the group.
The video of the young mother bringing her newborn to the glass where a gorilla matriarch was sitting, watching people from a short distance is still my favourite. She brought the baby to the glass and held him up and the gorilla mother came to the glass and motioned with such affection, touching her own face and pointing to baby's face. Then she fetched her own small baby and held him in her arms, facing towards the other mum. There was so much love and deep interaction between the two mothers, the gorilla lying back and just gazing at the little human and making gentle, affectionate signs. As the commenter said above it was so clearly language between two maternal beings.

60 Minutes did an episode on Koko the female gorilla, when Penny was advancing in years. Apparently other scientists were still trying to claim that Koko's 1000 word vocabulary and ability to understand 2000 words was a fluke or fake. This is reprehensible, considering how Koko would make up words herself (Penny's ring was a "finger bracelet"; Koko's deeply beloved kitten she had named
"All Ball" because of how he looked when curled up asleep- his head and body looked like two balls stuck together which she thought was a lovely joke), her capacity for grieving and need for people to be inside her enclosure with her when interviewing her, which was not allowed for some reason and which upset Koko terribly.
She had an enormous sense of self and self respect, her favourite person was Robin Williams who visited her and played Tickle Me. There was so much still to learn about animals from Koko. I don't know why they kept her apart from interviewers at the end. It must have hurt her feelings so much.
When the 60 Minutes anchor told her he thought she was beautiful- she just turned her head away and back again, and signed glumly- "So why can't all of us be together in my enclosure? All of us.
Do. Do. Do."
You abject dolt… you haven’t the first clue regarding evolutionary biology nor do you have even the first inkling regarding cognitive sciences…
Animals don’t understand our language. PERIOD. END OF STORY.
They don’t know how to communicate with us AS YOU THINK THEY DO. PERIOD. END OF STORY.
You’re conflating how TRAINABLE animals are with an ability to actually understand our language & communicate at our level to ANY degree.
When animals like Koko were actually TESTED in a legitimate method, THEY ALL FAIL MISERABLY at “understanding” language.
However when promotional videos were made, THEY MADE IT APPEAR AS THOUGH THE MONKEYS UNDERSTOOD.
THEY DISN’T. IT;S CALLED YOU GOT DUOED BY PEOPLE WITH AN AGENDA.
What’s reprehensible is that you’re a GD adult and you fell hook, line, and sinker for it.
And that’s not only wildly uneducated to do, but it’s also detrimental to animals, because what humans project onto animals when they do this, almost always is ABSOLUTELY NOT correct, BECAUSE ANIMALS DON;’T HAVE DEVELOPED FRONTAL LOBES AND THUS DO NOT POSSESS THE CRITICAL & EXECUTIVE FACULTIES THAT WE DO, AS WE DO.
So when humans erroneously apply our language to theirs, EVERYTHING YOU BELIEVE THEY’RE SAYING THEY ACTUALLY AREN’T, and THAT is not only unfair to do to them, but also many times can be and is dangerous to them.
Your imbecilic desire to anthropomorphize animals because you’re unfulfilled in life is an insult to the welfare and safety of these animals worldwide, and quite frankly, is exactly why so many dopey humans get killed approaching these animals in the wild, thinking they’re just like us and just want to be loved.
FFS, grow up.
I KNOW!!! AND PPL WANNA SAY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL!?!?!! (all the while we don't even have natural habitat available for ANIMAL intelligence!!)
He's bonding with the young lady with the glasses on her head. He didn't want anyone interfering with them. Too cute!
He just wanted to interact with her.
Yes!!.. it looks like that indeed..😯😯
And yet that unruly brat kept interfering ... probably encouraged by her parents 🙄
These magnificent, gentle creatures actually move me to tears...
They are not always gentle.
Girls !
I understand EXACTLY what you mean Poppy....they are so like us.....just looking in thier eyes is a moving experience. They have something other animals don't.I think they are VERY self aware, and aware of others and their interactions with them as well.
yes! me too poppykok5 xo I even wonder is he is underfed or neglected who knows right but that is the point when animals have to depend on humans to take care of them I worry about them so much xo
poppykok5 I hate the way that they are taken away from their homes and families
The gorilla is more intelligent than some of those talking in the background.
By eating paper?
Just kidding. I agree with you.
@@drizap8015 Good! Because I sure didn't want to go all ape on you.
🦍
Seriously
So says the expert
You're not exaggerating. Lol
I remember when I was a kid when we went to zoo and showed chimps the zoo guide. There was only one sitting near the glass and in seconds there were all three watching. They totaly understood when we showed them their photos in the book and completely freak out when we showed them elephants photos. Quite jawdropping experience, primates are seriously intelligent.
Incredible...but it gets a little sad when you see people letting their kids smack and kick the glass...don't torment him.
Triggered much
Well to be fair they are kids, not much can be done to stop them. And also kids will be the last thing gorillas are scared of lol.
The kids should learn at an early age not to do that, it just takes someone to speak up
@@davgar4241 no one is triggered
@@TheRealBleach The kids that were disrespectful shouldve been told to stop it, the gorilla then turned his back he is much more intelligent than the parents.
I hope everyone gets to meet Jelani at least once! He is beyond amazing! I think God put him here for a reason!
Gertie Music I hope I do get to meet Jelani!
@@bytheway7656 I hope you do too ;-) you will never forget it and he does remember people if you visit him three or four times
Gertie Music Aww, thanks for letting me know he remembers people!
Gertie I think you mean humans
@@GertieMusic Can he and is he signing? Pretty, turn?
I know many people believe animals shouldn't be in zoos, however I consider them absolutely vital for preserving certain endangered species and teaching kids about animals and how to love them. It's how I learned to love and respect them as a kid. If a child can visit a zoo and see just how amazing and intelligent these lovely creatures are, they are more likely to grow up wanting to protect them rather than harm them. This video is a perfect example.
very true
You can teach kids how to love animals and how to protect them without taking them out of their home in the wild and putting them in cages or enclosures.
i feel like in the wild they are in danger and less relaxed than here. meaning they peacful
@@ninjasjams3776 Is this your professional opinion, Dr Doolittle?
@@G3NK5T42- Soon there wont be any to see anywhere. Laying back and chillin is what they do in the jungle, it doesnt mean they are bored. Its not like some zoos where there is just one animal in an enclosure or cage.
Jelanie is touching her right cheek with her thumb to sign "girl", circling her face for "pretty", and tapping her chest for"mine" because she wants the phone for herself😄👏
is is a boy or girl monkey?
It looked like she was using sign language ❤️
He, that's a Male. You can tell by the crest
Also his silver back
@Glory Be To God Amen can you fucking stop
he's pretty calm considering they're looking at him right in the eye
Not every gorilla is getting mad by eye contact, some of them don't care and some of them are getting used to it because of too many people looking for so long time.
Instead.. if you go on a trip with guide guys in the jungle and you encounter a silverback gorilla, the first things that you need to do.. is to lay to the ground low on your legs and to avoid the eye contact as much as possible...
KRISTIVN BEATZ lol
@@jasonrochon6301 yea, i was on a trip 2 years ago in the Virungas mountain, Congo(Uganda) and we didn't expect that, as soon as we ecounter the big boy, our 2 guides were ready with the machete's and told us to stay low to give them the rights of dominance and to avoid the eye contact..
After 6 or 7 minutes, he want away
Pretty sure the gorilla can differentiate between little boys, little girls, women and threatening men.
@Glory Be To God Amen People like you are honestly really fucking annoying. Nobody cares about your Jeezis fanfic. Go away.
🎠 He is so smart. I bet if he had his own phone, he would be texting in no time.
Carolyn Byrd texting in what language though...
@@georgeosborn421 Any language I guess. lol....
@@CarolynDenison his fingers would be to big to text so hell just be like "akjjbeejendk"
Carolyn Byrd lmao their fingers are too big to text
or maybe he would eat the phone after 3 minutes
The zoo keepers should maybe give him something like a phone to play with. He seems interested in the phone a lot
Yes
He would figure it out, they are smarter than crows and crows have the mind of a 7 year old, and you know they use tech a lot
Random Bible verses for no reason
He would probably search up how to get out the enclosure 🤣
They smartttt
He seems to like interacting with people. Such an amazing and beautiful creature. Gorillas are so special.
This is one of the sweetest animals I’ve ever seen. Even if he’s trapped at the zoo he’s cared for and protected and apparently knows how to communicate with humans which is pretty cool!
Oh really.can't believe how you can come to this conclusion. So uncaring.
@@harpermacenzi9483 take a chill pill.
@@mdb1010 You too.
@Glory Be To God Amen Beautiful...♥️👑
@@harpermacenzi9483 she didn't come to a conclusion, she read the description before watching. If you hit the word "more" it tells you
LOL he is a whole mood, I am always looking at peoples kids like "okay, go away. Excuse me can you please come and get ur kids please" lol
Jelani is tapping her heart to say she loves seeing pictures.
If that's the case, has anyone tried or thought of making a device that shows and even lets gorillas swipe through pictures?...
It's a silverback - male.
@@you2be839Gorilla glass is a start 🤭
The strange thing is that gorilla can memorize things faster than humans
Yeah, it‘s obvious on his reaction, the girl is swiping too slow. She could go 3-4 pics per second. So he wouldn‘t be bored
Chimps can also do that. They are more advanced than us when it comes to memorization and expressions.
Bc consciousness isn’t in the way
I love how gorillas can readily distinguish tiny humans from adults and the engage with them completely differently.
It was the most moving sight! I couldn't stop watching Jelani interacting with these children. What a highly intelligent, kind and majestic creature. Jelani patiently watched the cell phone images. Then gave them 'speaking' hand gestures to signal his interest, but the public can't respond to him. The zoo does an amazing job looking after all their animals and providing enrichment programs. Yet, it's so tragic they can't remain in the wild. All due to illegal poaching, game hunting and loss of habitat. I think Jelani sits near the glass, as he's bored stiff. Gorillas are so close to human DNA. I think primates' emotional and cognitive abilities are far superior to ours. Like whales and dolphins. These gorillas live such long lives in captivity. If only there could be large sanctuaries built for them, instead of enclosures...
I think the humans entertain them. I like to see footage where people do magic tricks for them, perform yo-yo tricks, show them the contents of their purses, etc.
Your absolutely right......what's wrong is our world in general.........
@@genxx2724 yessssss!! We as spectators SHOULD provide something entertaining to them as well!! I LOVE THE PEEKING INTO PURSES!!!! So funny!!!
I like how most of the children are so calm, quiet and attentive. It's like a family with their gorilla elder.
The little girl with the cap was just sittin there.. watchin.. cute..
Maybe they have gtreat parents that teach them manners!!👍🤩
Don't see it a lot anyone! That was wonderful!🤗🥰
Or maybe let the kids into the catwalk. Then they would know the truth that it is a wild animal and not a toy.
What amazing footage. Thanks to whoever shared this.👍
Oh, I wish it were possible for me to visit her! I'll have to make a future plan to do so! So beautiful and intelligent! The children will always remember this wonderful experience.
Yes it's Amazing, beyond words!!!!!
What you and your friends need to do is Boycott these Prisons. Would you like to switch places with the Gorilla?
Tami I admire ur can do attitude! Thanx for the confidence boost!
@@RUclipsDeletesComments while I'm not keen on zoos for primates! We first need to understand the world's resources for them and what we can do to help! Let's not throw zoos away before we figure out a better way for them! What about the ones born in captivity? I'm sure their needs differ from those born free!
I worked with gorillas for 13 years. That they go so much farther than humans in trying to connect in a respectful and meaningful way still amazes me -- not because they aren't incredibly intelligent, but because they are often repaid with ridicule and disrespect. We need to ask, as many people below have, if these people, so like us, should be held against their will when they clearly are so connected, smart, forgiving, and self-aware.

Dawn Prince .
Dawn Prince break my heart seeing intelligent being taken against her will it is very sad and disturbing.
Dawn you are so lucky to have had that amazing experience.......we have come a long way since hunting them for trophy's
Animals don't have the concept of self-created world as people do. People are unnecessarily full of pretense, welcome themselves to the concept of how others should live, and desperately assert their own concepts to have their own sense of living the life that leads to the success they imagine that they are supposed to have or think they deserve to have. Animals don't have all that senseless crap to get in the way of connecting with other social beings.
He's smarter than a lot of humans.

Me too! 😃😁
And me too
It’s probably nice having some people he can communicate with in a way.
He is using sign language . Pretty me, he says, then turn it ,
I wonder if he means pretty me as in pretty human us gorilla meaning me!
He’s doing sign language, that’s great! What a sweetie.I think that he’s saying that is him , If there were no glass, everyone would be screaming
she is signing my heart. Can anyone love her back?
He's probably wondering why everyone is so obsessed with the tiny gadgets in their hands 😜
This is both fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time. The Gorilla is sitting there, interacting with the girls and signing, clearly understand HOW the device works and what he wants it to do and asking them to make it do it and the girls clearly understand what the gorilla wants as well. It's an incredible thing to watch, two different species meeting in the middle and interacting with one another as individuals. Then you remember that this beautiful, intelligent creature is a captive who will never know what it's like to be free. All that intelligence is trapped in a glass display for humans to stare at. I sincerely hope they aren't self aware enough to understand .
I thought the earlier phone shower was even sadder. That girl understood what the gorrilla wanted because she took the time to care and connect. The earlier ones had clearly seen a youtube clip of it & did it for self gratification with no interest whatsoever in the gorilla's feelings - that's sad! They just walked off in the middle of the gorrilla trying to connect with them
Zeynab Uthman i get it.... Your right and it's sad. We don't visit zoos and such i watch this stuff far as being an animal lover. But i get it. #letthemgo
Zeynab Uthman did you ever think that maybe they assume that we are in captivity as well? They don't know what's behind the glass. They just see people behind it who are just people on the other side. They are in nature, I'm sure they feel free. We on the other hand, in their eyes, are stuck in a room behind a glass.... Who knows what's going on in their head
Kevin Smith j
i still cant help feeling sad about it all.
I could watch gorillas all day. This guy is a sweetie. ❤
Grace Jardine You are why zoo's exist -_-
I actually believe in Ape Personhood, and would like to see an end to gorillas/apes in captivity, but this guy wouldn't survive in the wild. 💔 I'm sad to see them in zoos, but I can also appreciate the lengths apes go to communicate with us on the other side of the enclosure. I hope someday there'll be no zoos, but for now I'll commend the ones that exist to do what they can for animals who can't return to the wild. ❤
Hi
Out in it he open
He acts so gentle around the children.
He’s asking to have his picture taken,and then to show him on the phone❤️
Amazing, but sad at the same time...:(
humans are really really stupid creatures
@@Nantosuelta Not stupid. Heartless maybe. Lack of compassion.
Humans are too smart for their own good, driven by greed and selfishness.
He's really good at sign language
I wish they had a chart or video showing the signs the gorillas know. That way, the kids could communicate with them. I wouldn’t be surprised if all zoo gorillas are being taught sign language these days.
It would be SUPER fun for the kids to learn sign language too! “What did you do this weekend?” “Well, I spent some time chatting with my gorilla friend. You?”
Jelani's my Hunny! Such a sweety. 💕
He's Amazing!! Love him!! I hope everyone gets to meet him, once in a lifetime experience!
Jelani truly is very special ;-) it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to hang out with him ;-) I have been to other zoos and seen other gorillas but have never met one quite like him ;-) if you ever get the chance to come to Louisville Kentucky you will never forget it and have the time of your life ;-) he is one special dude ;-) Much love from the Bluegrass State ;-)
Bertie I'd love to return to Kentucky! Your state gives off a peaceful vibe! I've always enjoyed my time there! Glad u have jelani! Uve a right to be proud of his intelligence!
I agree that this is both a happy and sad moment. It makes my heart happy to see the moment of clear communication between that young lady and the gorilla, but immensely sad to know that she has spent her entire life in captivity. I am not suggesting she doesn't have a good life surrounded by people that love her and take care of her, but she is not where she should be.. I hope there is a day when our curiosity doesn't interfere with the lives of the many beautiful creatures on this planet.
Lisa Rankin "not where she should be" people can be a little misinformed. How do you know this gorilla didn't have a sickness or disease and needed to be cured in captivity. Did you know it's not easy as just releasing the animal back into the wild like throwing trash back in the bin? Sheesh open your mind
Lisa Rankin We all live in captivity.
Me,too
Clearly this gorillas has a curiosity about us as well - and is intelligent enough to realize that it is much easier to communicate with children than adults and that children instantly attribute intentionality the gorilla's gestures, while adults have more difficulty even noting the gestures in many cases - or the adults would not need cages - they would be communicating instead.
Lisa Rankin in the wild getting killed by poachers?
Where are the parents or teachers when the smaller kids are hitting & kicking the glass?. I know the kids don't get it but the adults should step in & stop the little kids rude behavior towards the animals. Come to think of it, the little kids acted more like animals than the gorilla did. People get your munchkins under control, especially in a place where there are animals that should be respected.
This is truly amazing that an animal is so close to a human being every way
I hope everyone gets to experience Jelani at least once in their life :-) there's nothing like it! He is our new Secretariat in Louisville ;-) what a rockstar ;-) when the phones come out he definitely pays attention ;-)
Koko would have liked him!
Anita Foster Koko liked Robin Williams. Their interaction together was so funny. I hope you can see it
And from watching Koko's vids we learn that gorillas NATURALLY use their own sign language, hence were relatively well-disposed to learn ASL, or whatever it was Penny taught her. I cant remember if she had 1000 or 3000 words in her vocabulary. This is as big a discovery, in my mind, as that of extra-terrestials. Imagine, if gorillas were found on Mars instead of here. They would have embassies.
OOOOOooooooooo getting spicy over here.
Me : "I'm gonna go to bed early tonight."
Me at 2:52 AM : This video
@Glory Be To God Amen you seriously need to get a hobby dude
Did something similar with a gorilla at a zoo in colorado. Moments like these are something you dont forget. I'm sure it makes their day to.
It seems nearly impossible that these creatures could EVER be dangerous. They appear so gentle & calm. And their intelligence is amazing. I wonder what this guy would do if he had an iPhone of his own?!?!? 😯😊💕
Mama Ames if he's really intelligent he return it for a Samsung lol
Thiis video put a smile on my face for hours.👍Thanks
Anthony Coyle Awesome!! Same here, much love!!
That gorilla is like,”look at these foolish humans.”🤣🤣🤣
...had to chuckle when karen wanted her princess daughter to take a selfie... and Jelani rebuffed her...
...even gorilla's get it...
You so cool
Not what a Karen is
Amazing! U can tell he is honored that someone took the time to show him something and included him. My cats are the same way! I show them videos and pics of themselves all the time. My one cat watched bob Ross paint a picture the whole video. Sounds crazy, but he did. I also educated them to stay away from coyotes through videos. Coyotes is a dirty word in this house! When they hear them, they come running
THESE ANIMAL SPECIES HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE THAN SOME PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING. THEY WILL HELP THOSE THAT CARE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. HOW MANY HUMANS CARE TO DO SO AND HELP OTHERS IN NEED. MAKES YOU WANNA BE THEIR FRIEND. 👍👌🙏😇❤️
I think he wants to see pics of himself. He touches his face and taps his chest. Very beautiful moment.
Wow, that Gorilla knew exactly what the kid was trying to do when she wanted to tale a selfie with her.
These kids will love gorillas their entire lives.
I think it’s signing by touching his right ear. AMAZING AND SO SMART
this is a perfect display of how gentle and intelligent gorillas are, its so amazing to see this gorilla (an animal that's basically the description of raw strength and power) calmly interacting with humans
When he waves his hand in from of his face he's saying "beautiful"
They teach them sign language.
Wow. I wish they would tell people about that. He's talking to them but they don't even know (apart from obviously telling them to show them the next pictures).
@@mickibirch3571 From 5:12 to 5:27? I was just thinking that it looked like some type of sign language, wow.

Awwwwww how beautiful this is God Bless all animals Amen that gorilla is so smart and very intelligent
So amazing the power they have and they can be as calm as anything we are the animals
I realize people are sad because he’s not in the wild but we don’t know how he got there. He very well could have been a rescue who likely wouldn’t make it out in the wild. This is a beautiful video. I just wish they had more rights...
Jelani is the new Secretariat for Louisville ;-) he loves to pose and he knows he's a rockstar ;-) I hope everyone gets to meet him ;-)
Rude brat needs to sit down.
Damn bro, He understands how a phone works better than my grandpa
He's a fun loving big fella.
I truly believe that he would hug that little girl!
Then you would be wrong. One thing that people tend to do is think that animals in captivity are cute and cuddly. Just ask his handlers how often they turn their backs to him.
He would hug, just before he ripped her face off
@@alexandereisen3486 You're an idiot. Gorillas are incredibly gentle creatures and there's literally 0 reports of them ever seriously harming or killing a human.
Those animals are exactly we are. I don’t know how to explain. ❤️
Its obvious that he is trying to communicate, i think he is the smarter guy in the video. Hope they treat him well. Beautiful creature
Don't worry. I think he must be treated well, because mistreated animals behave aggressively.
Look I am on the CTA train in Chicago, watching this video, it is amazing to see this gorilla interact with human being, very smart animal they're, it really touches my heart to see this, thank you for sharing this video.
I’m pretty sure he’s only interested over the satisfaction of switching one picture to another not the pictures
He needs his own tablet
Would have to be a damn tough tablet.

Tiffany Davis He was born in captivity so they can't release him into the wild...he wouldn't know how to fend for himself.

You know something about little kids they always trying to help people they know no fear of anyone or anyting that was make them so special. I wish we could all be little kids again so we know how to love each other again. Not only animals but each other two.

Jelani is awesome...precious silverback.....🥰🥰🥰
So kind
someone taught him sign. he is saying love a lot thats whwn he is tapping his chest..the text thing is a no brainer he is saying next next next..cute and sweet gorilla
She keeps rubbing or touching her nose as well. Not sure what, if anything that means.
So he was signing love?
J Roy isn’t it sweet...they connected on an emotional level...maybe he doesn’t mind getting to know the humans who come to stare at him..I remember, as a little girl , going to the fair and there was a side show once that we dared to go thru and one poor woman had extremely large feet...the result of a lymph system disorder..and they had her just sitting there and people came in and stared at her feet ..it was very awkward and I remember feeling so bad for her but I guess she did what she had to do to earn a living...
J Roy I was hope some one known some sighn yea I agree

You can walk right by them in the the
jungle and it's like your one of them.

I've been fascinated with gorillas since I was young. 💞When I see interaction like this I often wonder what is the gorilla thinking? When they see humans do they think wow strange creatures? lol like that woman is wearing rainbow reflectors on her head & the lil girl has on a pink hat the man is holdn a Metal contraption cell phone. it's like what is this gorilla feeling thinking about humans? omg i love thm so much!
yes he does need his own tablet
The question should be; "Do they see us as their captors?"
All well and good until you see what the poachers do to these magnificent creatures who are defenseless. They are protected here until you do gooders realize the need to eliminate the savages who slaughter them.
@@TR5T Ease up! I did nothing to them. I was just wondering how they saw us.
Gorilla seems like grand pa nd children are his grand children...beautiful..💓😘😘🥰💕
Wow such beautiful amazing animals that deserve to be in the wild not being a case. My heart breaks for these beautiful sweet baby’s 😔❤️
Amazing! The animal is intelligent, intutive, conscious, tolerant, observant etc. They appear very gentle with children! It is not agitated because of the cofimement and accepts the reality in a graceful manner. They have many appreciable qualities we humanbeings can learn from.
Jayaram Putisari they cannibalize the children of their enemies ie. other baby Gorillaz
Jayaram Putisari uh...
So amazing these animals are. So much like us.
Gorilla is looking at them like, “You stuck here too?”
