Damian Aspinall's reunion with wild gorilla, Kwibi [FULL VERSION]

[BIGMAMAHURT]

De gorilla is like "Dese is mah bitches Shamiqua and Queshantashia, and dis my homie, Tyrelle, he just got outta gorilla prison"

[joergio]

Watching this, i keep asking myself what went wrong in the evolution of our specie.

[MrPernodDevil]

Look at him smile naww:)

[Algonquin81]

This is great to show how majestic these creatures are, but he still shouldn't have come back.. Now the gorilla is gonna miss him again

[dengar4000]

@1168shape shut the hell up idiot. Gorilla's are wonderful creatures, nothing retarded about treating them good. unlock some black natives who kill them for like 20 dollars.

[teleturk23]

@1168shape And you're stereotyping because?

[InnocenceExperience]

is this from a documentary?

[geromd91]

LEARN HUMANS!

[aliciab27]

Just beautiful

[chronic999]

When that gorilla wouldn't let him go I know he was thinking "O Fuck why did I do this again!!!!"...looking nervous as a mofo. Nothing like the Lion reuniting video lol

[RCaIabraro]

I'm the one jerk giving a thumb down ha

[LinusMFF]

Wonderful.

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on the beach one night see video book trailer

[913spiffy]

that is so Crazy Amazing! Touching, Glorious Vid!!

[AndreaFighter40]

AMAZING! I♥

[mzmarried07]

This broke my heart.....I understand how important it is to rehabilitate the animals and to release them, but he loves Damian so much and he abandoned him!! I could not imagine having to do this!! Im sure it was equally as hard for him as well!!

[o0fingerbullet0o]

that is amazing.

[JesusMcChristus]

Sad, but so beautiful

[KGoben]

When will we as humanity come to realize that despite our evolution, our technology, or our way of life, really has absolutely no significance in the animal realm. We are all equals...if a story such as this does not touch your heart, then you do not have the gift of kindness and compassion for the animal kingdom.

[Narethkraag]

It is incredible what we can do if we really set up our minds to do it, we can actually save amazing species like gorillas...... that actually have complex emotions and advanced thought process. In any event it is a great video......

[MightyMouse350]

wow.. how beautiful. tears streaming down my face...

[12tod]

I am so pleased to see 0dislikes on this vid, because it really deserves all green thumbs. I would also love to experience this some time.....

[bigbadbruins1]

Amazing video.I love gorillas.They are so much like us.

[DeejayLarz2006]

Damn it, why'd you have to go and make me cry lol ...geez. This is a very touching video, and it's hard not to cry watching it. I thought it was very sad how the guy had to leave but the gorilla kept on holding onto him. That shows true love ....his buddy had returned.

[austgirl34]

that is just so touching that it makes me cry !! It would be so hard to have to leave, how cute,the Gorilla held him, thats love...!! xx

[niggaT42000]

20:40, THE GORILLA SAYS "HEY NIGGA!!!!, THIS MY NIGGA BACK IN DA DAY, NUMTALKBOUT"

[mandyjri]

I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE IF I WAS IN HIS SHOES. IF I SAW HIM THEN FOLLOW MY BOAT WHEN I LEFT I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AGAIN TO SAY GOOD BYE AGAIN BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST BREAK MY HEART. SWEET. SO SWEET.

[777katsmeow]

how can people kill these beautiful beings, when they are so much like us?

[brianmoran1973]

@777katsmeow What makes humans kill gorillas is the same thing that would make you kill a gorilla

[shazva]

awww, beautiful... just beautiful, thanks for sharing Carole! XX

[Giztanzo]

and still we think we have the right to kill animals. we are sick!! but i believe one day we will understand that animals are way more intelligent then we suspect and we live in peace together

[mvda3295]

Man this sucks, i loved it but the story sucks so Sad.... 5 stars. Thanks

[indomitablespirit95]

I actually cried when I watched the episode where Kwibi died.

R.I.P Kwibi :(

[XDigdug45X]

@indomitablespirit95 he died?? holy crap really

[Melimecki]

@indomitablespirit95

Why did Kwibi die????

[PTYSurferGirl]

this is beautiful

[agitrman]

i'd like to punch that guy in the head. he's only hurting that gorilla just so he can say "that was amazing" I wish the gorilla would have bite his head off

[meanpakistani]

@agitrman shush u twat the gorilla was happy

[nimasha83]

HOMO SEXUAL GORILLA..HE WANT TO FUCK THAT WHITE GUY..LOL

[Justforfun788]

@nimasha83 You ignorant nigger! That is called forming a bond!

[nimasha83]

@Justforfun788 LOL FUCK YOU CRACKER WTF IS CRACKERS DOIN IN AFRICA AN YWAY

[Kainiswatchingyou]

This would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic, this is a triumph of emotion over intelligence, and it makes Me sick.

[addanie55]

I got emotional. watched it three times. not as afraid of gorillas now.

[fourjwinds]

The sound was to low. Make the sound louder.

[hailan123]

it is amazing, and the story is so touching. Hope people will protect the environment and wild lives.

[cherrypopz567]

how sweet(:

i want a gorilla now!

[indomitablespirit95]

Damian is one amazing guy. The work he does is incredible. At least he's at least one person trying to change these beautiful creature's lives around, so they can have a sustainable future.

[Tinsby]

A truly touching story, kudos to Damian and the work he does. This looks exactly like a scene from the movie " Instinct" with Anthony Hopkins. If you haven't seen the film I suggest you see it.

I pray that your gorilla friends live a long and happy life and never meet up with poachers. These creatures need our protection, love and respect.

I envy you.

Regards,

Tinsby

[jilly1457]

This is just beautiful. How lucky are we to have Damian, not only raising a gorilla but having the courage to seek out and have a close encounter with Kwibi 5 years later in the wild. Thank you Damian for sharing your story - you have enriched my life.

[weejm1234]

Thank you for sharing this clip... amazing!

[poultry1996]

Nice...

[happymanoftheworld]

ulujm and rickwaynt - What do YOU do for conservation? Perhaps enlighten yourselves by checking Aspinall's work and Howlett's (as well as many other dedicated people, rich and poor worldwide). If everyone helped then there would be no problem. So many species being destroyed by our greed. Do you check for using palm oil products for example? There is just SO much to do -not enough "carers" or money available. My bit? see scottishrarebreeds

[hippykiller1]

APE SHALL NEVER HARM APE!

[untamd2]

I cried! I love ALL animals!

[oneseablue]

@untamd2 I cried too

[GolaniSoldierz]

@untamd2 women....

[wawiluk]

Awsome!!!!! :)

[rickwyant]

@ulujm , I agree , the humans need to satisfy their ego seems to be overriding the gorillas need to be left alone.... these people ascribe emotions to the gorilla it just doesn't have. If he'd (Kwibi) attacked he would have been dead meat....and we would have never seen this story....

[spoiled427]

AMAZING!! Joyful tears flowed as I watched this.

[ulujm]

animal lover?

well if he attacks they will shoot him! right! just because they want to meet the gorilla to satisfied the stupidity of human.

just leave him alone

[Cherrybabys]

Ok Im crying , If I had a choice to have a animal as my best freind or a human I would choose a animal. Its a amazing story

[LifeLight7]

Awesome!

[shariwork]

Such a touching story .. it brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you for sharing this ...

[jayoori1]

@urbanprophet777 wtf?

[aved619]

@jayoori1 wtf? is he talking about man.

[Jessicaxx2]

awe:)

[Moondancedenise]

I love this... thank you areyoulookinatmepal... happy dancing !

[Prettyflowerchild]

puts another twist on the Stones song.... emotionally wonderful share !!!

[2commonandcoarse]

all the talk about torture and abuse is valid, I can vouch for that on a personal level...

but... this video brought tears to my eyes, because i thought of the time when my friend and I finally meet eye to eye.. ahh.. 'to be drunk on each other', like these two... just absolutely wonderful share, James... you have a very good eye and heart !

~xoxo~

[areyoulookinatmepal]

this is so very lovingly cool.

[classicallady]

The only chance animals stand for survival is the anihilation of mankind. So be it.

[areyoulookinatmepal]

@classicallady

are you one of those who thinks,man should die to save the world?do you wish your loved ones death?do you hate yourself?

[classicallady]

@areyoulookinatmepal I am the one with total disappointment at mankind. Animals don't pollute, don't kill for pleasure, don't invade countries and don't torture. Take your pick.

[areyoulookinatmepal]

@classicallady

your points are valid,should even the good people like you and me die?are your loved ones guilty also?i can talk without asking a question,or can i?

[classicallady]

@areyoulookinatmepal No, you are right. But I happen to be born in a family of respectful citizens toward the animals and the planet. We were taught to understand and love them. Have you seen lately how many ppl torture animals? I belong to several Humane Societies and o respond to you question - yes , we would all sacrifice to the benefit of others. Yes I do adore my family.

[areyoulookinatmepal]

@classicallady

i say good people like us,but how do i know you're good,you want the annihilation of mankind,i kid,i kid,i joke with you.i've seen many vids of abuse,even one i cant find now about how they fatten up thanksgiving turkeys,it was horrific.i'd want all the bad selfish people to die

[classicallady]

@areyoulookinatmepal I am not there yet but working it up. Becoming a veggie. I can't see any vid about abuse...they hurt me terribly. It's like watching children being abused.

[areyoulookinatmepal]

@classicallady

it's good you havn't seen any yet,since you already know it's happening then dont break your heart by seeing it,you'd really want to kill someone,i know i do,and would if it came down to me or them

[perfecttrunks2000]

@classicallady why don't u start by offing urself?

[bambikohaku]

@classicallady I concur with the others...you are part of the problem. If all you are going to do is complain then start the anihilation with yourself, or shut up!

[luckyowl249]

What's so astonishing about it as they're our nearest "animal" relatives!

[perfecttrunks2000]

@luckyowl249 no chimps are closer.

[LordHewing]

Stunning and moving story. The best thing I've seen in a long long time.

This warms my heart and restores my faith in this world. : ))

[wondertwn5843]

Amazing.  Had to wipe the tears away.

[umvumvumvu]

Made me a better person. Thanks so much!!!

[halcyon0830]

Leaving him once would break my heart, but leaving him twice is unimaginable.

Love, devotion, wisdom, understanding, compassion, commitment, friendship & loyalty, the things that all intelligent mammals are better at than humans.

Why would you put something so intelligent into a cage at the zoo?

If someone hunts and kills animals for sport, that person SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH ASAP. An Animals Life is Worth THE SAME AS A HUMANS LIFE.

Gorillas would do a far better job at governing this world.

[classicallady]

@halcyon0830 Ditto ditto

[perfecttrunks2000]

@halcyon0830 zoos hold animals based on the "logic" that seeing them up close will bring awareness of their plight and cause pepple to want to save them and their habitats. its a tough call deciding whether to keep them there or release them all but spread less knowledge and awareness.

[drsammhurst]

amazing story ..... truly touching and beautiful..... thank you so much for sharing this!

[glowkiwi]

this has to be one of my favourite video's ever. I cried watching it.

[sabbathhead]

I was moved to tears by this. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible story about what love looks like.

[myrdavPeace]

The world is a much better place having people like Damian Aspinall; what a great human being your are!!!!!! with all my love, Myriam, New Jersey US

[myrdavPeace]

I had tears on my eyes when I saw this; what a lesson for all the hunters and people that destroy animals. The love and affection this animal expressed is incredible. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Myriam

[rppvt]

...and that he shared his children with you...

[Dolphin8762d]

This is just an awesome video that you have to see. Brought some happy tears...

[mosienko1983]

It made me cry to think how much he missed his friend - how happy he was to see him again - but then, of course he lost him again.

[DamianAspinall09]

@mosienko1983 I was delighted that my old friend Kwibi remembered me after 5 years and although I was sad to be parted from him again, I know that he is where he belongs; in his natural habitat with his wives, protected by the rangers who do a fantastic job.

[lala4010]

a lovely story, I like it. thanks for sharing !
