Doing that can cost you your life. Fortunately there is a way to reduce this chance when dealing with gorillas. Check it out! :D

  • @StandingRedPanda Besides that, looking a gorilla straight in the eyes for a long time is inviting him to fight you, since you're questioning his dominance by behaviour (also applies to quite some (cub-)cultures in human society).

    I've seen this animal myself (at least his back, since he was sitting against the glass ignoring the apes at the other side) and he is massive.

    To prove your post, the "victim" was quoted: "If I laugh at him, he laughs back". ;-)

  • Phantom forfeit at 2:03?

  • Or you could always go to an aquarium instead...

  • bokito! I like stephen accent :) even kijken..

  • swear to god, jeremy and stephen have the same voice

  • There was a barman in my local with eyes like that. Very confusing when you tried to order a drink! Is he looking at me or the fella beside me..

  • @damarckusjonas Build a Man a Fire, and He'll Be Warm for a Day. Set a Man on Fire, and He'll Be Warm for the Rest of His Life

  • @Angdharagh I believe it would :3

  • @SelasSolaris Would it not just be simplest to avoid challenging the gigantic wild animal's dominance?

  • @acr08807 :P
