75% of gorillas are gone in the last 30 year.. they will be extinct in 20 years if the rate of bush meat slaughter continues. Our palm oil industry fuels the slaughter of Orangutangs. Careful what you buy. Know what your dollar is funding. A conscientious life can move mountains. We are all the change. Peace.
Bet those apes are not clever enough to have shares in ranching and logging companies. It must really piss them off when they hear chainsaws or smell a fire. We need to ease off on the burger and polished wood table urges but we wont. I think the apes will become confined to large parks. The apes have greater genetic diversity than us but it will not see them through in the long run.
I freaked out about this discusting cage..prison looking box. But I think they put her in there with her new baby. I looked up the zoo and it looks real nice for animals. 92 acres. So hope they have a nice environment now.
But following genetic and evolutionary theories,are we not altering their natural evolution by moving them from their natural habitat,exposing them to chemicals and diseases and controling their diets?
Since their main threat in the wild is useless,greedy humans that are barely above gorillas evolutionarily,why not kill those that threaten the gorillas existence ? We have more than enough ppl....
@goldensassenach Good question on whether captive diet alters gorillas. Given that gorillas are so much like humans, fat & diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, & other health issues are inevitable. But it's the carnivores like tigers, lions, etc. that will suffer the most. Ten, 20, or 30 generations without being allowed to physically catch their own food WILL alter their muscles, bones, & other tissue structures, exactly like humans being in space for months & years, with only tiny gravity...
The difference is that the gorillas have no say in what they eat and I think their diet is probably healthier than that of some humans, as it is put together according to zoo & veterinary guidelines (I presume). Less exercise is of course a problem ...
@goldensassenach obviously we are. we have almost no choice but to get animals in enclosures now. its either that or let them go extinct. people wont change their ways so wildlife will sadly keep disappearing.
it's really sad ho us humains have to take parenting courses yet a gorilla can do just fine without having to learn anything and still know how to parent a baby.
They're lovely! If you love baby gorillas you should check out the footage from within minutes of a baby gorilla being born in Dublin Zoo in Ireland, absolutely incredible. check it out on zootvseries (my youtube channel)
Without hair they are the same? what a ridiculous unscientific thing to say; different species altogether, different genes and cognitive capabilities.
@Ravin2kx well I wouldn't say harmless, they say if you look at one in the eye it means you want to challenge them, or something like that, they are gentle creachers, but in a nut shell, never piss them off, I honestly do wish there was a way we could comunicate with them, talk to them some how...
@CLASHofTHElonders Well the common thought of black people being monkeys comes to mind. Or the fact that one eats their shit and the other is a piece of shit. The only difference I see between the two is that one gets to wears clothes.
@RiceKiller191 you are one dumb ignorant person my friend black people are more closely related to you or me than a gorilla and if anything you are a peice of shit for thinking that!!
@CLASHofTHElonders Really?! I didn't know! I actually thought black people WERE gorillas! Who could make the distinction?!?!?!?! If anything you are a RETARD for thinking I actually thought that. Even though Obama is about as smart as a gorilla with Down Syndrome and AIDS with a hint of Autism.
@RiceKiller191 yea your a racist prick i can tell and obama is wayyyyyy smarter than you fuck even snooki and justen bieber is smarter than you except kesha you can be smarter than her but than again a sand grain holds more intelligence than her
@CLASHofTHElonders lol Yep! that was racist!! I'm racist!! And I'm the dumb one, even though you can barely formulate a sentence. "snooki and bieber IS smarter"?? You should at least look semi smart when trying to tell someone how "dumb" they are. And so I'm dumb because I hate Obama because he is the worst "President" ever? Not to mention his fucking retard cunt of a wife. " Hey I promise you a bunch of stuff but I'm not going to do any of it and put us in more debt. Vote Obama 2008"!!!!!!
@RiceKiller191 are you fucking stupid george bush was the biggest fuck up of all time and you guys voted for him twice being as stupid as you guys are
@CLASHofTHElonders You're still the fucking retard who probably voted Obama's retard ass in office. At least Bush did what he said he was going to do, Unlike Obama being a lying sack of shit who should have had his head scrambled during the abortion his mother should have had. He may not have been the smartest or best president, but he had the hardest fucking presidency ever.
@CLASHofTHElonders And I forgot how calling a black person a fucking idiot is Racist! God forbid a white guy has a disagreement with a black guy, the white guy must be in the KKK and hate blacks then right? Thats why they're arguing! Makes sense!
just too cute for words. I cannot get over how gentle the mother is...not to mention how the mother rocks it to comfort it...just so humanlike it is unreal..but cute nonetheless.
Also, the mothers seems a bit more clumsy... do you suppose they're built a bit more sturdy than we are, so they can handle being dropped once or twice?
@blackgumdrawpz You are interpreting very large hands as cumbersome to your narrow human hands, but I wouldn't describe it as clumsy. They are aware that they are holding something very important to them, because their maternal instincts are strong, so they will never drop their baby or it may die just a like a human baby would from a concussion.
I think the baby gorilla is adorable too, but MONKEYSARENASTY is an obvious troll or, at the least, not worth your time. When you mount up on your high horse to tell someone off like that it just kind of makes you look pompous, and could be exactly what the potential troll was looking for. Just my advice, you can take it however you want.
really monkeys are nasty? ppl are killing them because we are cutting down trees for useless reasons. we are the predator to EVERY animal. So of you're calling it an ugly little shit you're technically calling yourself that. it's rude. it does look like a baby. and that's the closet relative to us you're gonna find.
huh, hairy disguisting things in the universe. It does look like human some what but much be SCARE when that hairy thing CAN TALK!!! You will be SHOCK!
I agree, he really looks like human baby. why? looks human, and suddenly so hairy. I have always felt the gorilla is my closest friend. See the one who is sad to be a gorilla in Ueno Zoo. when i saw her, i could feel the same too.
ok i just want ot point out something if anybody ever says gorilla babies are ugly ure basically calling human babies ugly cuz without the hair they are the same
@charangness I'm sorry but I must disagree. The facial features and the shape of the body are much different. But, they are all beautiful in their own special way. Primate babies are somewhat similar but not that close.
@charangness Yeah except they dont have the cute little button noses like our babies but that close up shot of the baby's arm did look like a human baby arm.
@charangness Well no "new born" apes are goodlooking... I think new born humans are ugly.. Until they get to like 2 months +. Then all apes are adorable as babies :)
Come on now, you shouldn't talk about yourself that way. Just because those are the first words your mommy said when she saw you, doesn't mean you should take it out on a baby gorilla.
Learn how to spell and use proper grammar. Those gorillas have a higher IQ than you do, you pathetic little fool.
@XforeverlongingX When I mentioned god in my comment, I was responding to this comment by MINKYSARENASTY: " What a UGLY LITTLE SHIT. Thank GOD there r people tryin to KILL these animals" Don't take it so literally. I don't believe in god, it was merely a figure of speech. If I'm going to thank people for their contribution as you instructed, I wouldn't do it on YouTube.
ok...so where did all the religon chatter come in? sheesh....you ppl can fight about anything!!!! keep the peace!!!! (lol i can already feel some disapproving glares...)
I don't understand what gives you the authority to define something that in reality doesn't exist; but is instead our interpretation of our feelings, the feelings of others and a word that captivates who were are as individuals. I think it is arrogant for you assume you can define such a word so plainly. Furthermore what is more alarming is that your statement is false, as animals do indeed empathise pain, it has been observed that chimps comfort each other after a fight.
rik: In general, I am anti-anthropomorphism. Many people try to see "human" in most everything. It is our deep need to not be isolated as a species.
But, you are correct. My poodle, too, empathizes pain if he bites, by pulling back, then licking my hand, while whining. He tried to drive the car, too. For real. Even got the key into ignition and paw on the gear handle. He prefers the Cadillac. Smart dog.
Empathy and other positive social behaviors are not exclusive to apes.
You're grammar is appauling and so I won't dignify you with a proper reply, however I will say that I am, and I imagine the person you have replied to is against all religion. You simply cannot argue that religion automatically has the moral high ground, as there is astounding evidence to suggest that altruism is an evolved characteristic, I know that all ideas of an intelligent designer are false, as there is no evidence for one, but enormous amounts of evidence for natural selection.
and i dont see why you people are catorgorizing us different from animals cuz if u remember WE ARE ANIMALS we just figured out a way to invent stuff but in reality we have the same instincts and feelings as animals do.
Every living thing in this world have a spirit, and soul, we all connected in a delicate balance, and when this balance is interrupted everything goes wrong, animals like this(orangutans, chimps,gorillas, ext) are not pets, they are wild animals and there they should stay... FREE.
I strongly disagree with the mistreatment of animals, but if your are bothered by this video simply because the animal is in a zoo then you have very little idea about how important zoos are for ex situ conservation.
I wanna raise a gorilla. It won't wine like a human child because it can't talk, and when it's older, I'll have him beat up anyone who tries to mess with me.
