A close encounter I had with a silverback gorilla in Rwanda ....

Updated: Wasn't expecting this to become a featured video. Been off on holiday (not quite as dramatic this time - Portnoo in Donegal on the North-West coast of Ireland. Look it up!) and came back to about half a million views and over 2000 comments!

Also, didn't expect to start a debate on creationism vs. evolution (evolution by the way!) or quite so many racist comments!! And to all you racist folks, just what is it that brings you to such distorted view of people/life/the world?

Anyway, hope you enjoy this!

    "They aren't that different from us. They won't attack unless provoked."

    What? Who are "us?" You must be a gazelle or something, because thousands of humans attack every day without provocation.

    You're safer around the ape than at least half of humanity.

  • Is that gorrila as big as he looks? He looks 15ft tall!

  • @RandytheAstonishing I disagree. Humanity has a lot to answer for but this misanthropic bullshit coming from animal rights people is neither accurate nor helpful. There's a lot of beauty in the human species and by dwelling on the negatives we achieve nothing. Are "at least half of humanity" murderers, rapists and other types of abusers? No. Most people are good and decent. If these fuckwits hate humanity so much they should start doing something about it by killing themselves. Useless cunts.

  • Hiya,, can you give me a smile please..........he looks so angry!

  • I'd scream shitless, still love these things haha

  • Awesome video....wow

  • Ceasar!!

  • I love how the gorilla stops and turns toward the camera all relaxed and chill.

  • wow whats with all you idiots commenting here?

    all you religious people, we care about the facts not about your opinions or bible verses.

    racist people, its obvious your just trying to make people mad and i wont fall for it (probly true with a few of the religious people to)

    and people who say that zoos are animal prisons and stuff like that, that may be true but zoos are where gorillas are safe from diseases, poachers etc.

  • gorillas.... well they're huge... saw one in person.. and i kid you not.. his fore arm is the size of my thigh!

  • I'd be shitting myself lol. I saw gorilla in the zoo on my last vacation. Being near them without anything between us, would freak me the fuck out haha. If they wanted to, they'd just rip off your arm or leg ;)
