Gorilla Big Male Fang (For Fight See Ref. below Scream Attack Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpXA-gY6Z_4 Shows a longer version of this video

This video shows the large canine teeth and huge mouth and jaw muscles of the male silverback gorilla.

The longer video shows gorilla fights. The second one begins when a large silverback grabbed and attacked a young gorilla. Although female gorillas are depicted as submissive to males, this is not the case. In this instance the females attacked the male and rescued the young one. They continued screaming and chasing him. Such a male would probably not be a group silverback in the wild for very long. The gorillas screaming sounds almost exactly like human screams.

Although many videos of gorilla fights are of juveniles play wrestling, this was a real fight involving adults seriously fighting and a serious attack on a young animal.

The other portions show other gorilla fights. Gibbons howling can be heard in the background.

One of the female gorillas is Colo, who is the world's first gorilla born in captivity and the oldest known gorilla. She is an amazing world record holder for many additional reasons. Colo gave birth to Emmy, the first second-generation gorilla born in captivity and became a grandmother when Cora, the first third-generation gorilla, was captive born. In addition, for ten years, Colo's grandsons, Mosuba and Macombo II, were the only gorilla twins born in the western hemisphere! Colo is also the great grandmother of Timu, the first surviving gorilla conceived by artificial insemination.

**These are western lowland gorillas (gorilla gorilla). The adult males are very colorful with silver backs and red top hair. The gorilla (gorilla gorilla) is the largest of all living primates. These African apes are divided into two species and 4 or 5 subspecies. Their DNA is 97-98% identical to that of humans and they are considered the next closest relative after the chimpanzee. Gorillas can be over 6 feet tall and weight over 500 lbs. They are highly intelligent. Some such as Koko have been taught a subset of sign language. They use tools for a number of purposes.

Gorillas are normally peaceful vegetarians, but they defend their babies. In this case a whole group of females chastised the male. No one was hurt.

not a good thing

[Holyworms]

@marryjanne420 so then poachers can kill them?

[danzig159]

@TheUnreaI They are never alone or go hungry in the jungle either. All they eat is plants and they're always in groups. The reason they can't be out there is poachers. Mankind has very little respect for life or nature.

[TheUnreaI]

@marryjanne420 They have a great life here. They never go hungry, they never are alone, they get medical treatment. There's animals are indangered. It they let them all out, they will all be killed off!
