Lol that's what your ment to do... Lmfao... Your ment to get lower than him no eye contact ppl. Preferably head turned away and hold out your hand palm up to him but not high just low....
The silverback was just trying to get to a certain spot to feed and the people were obviously in his way. Why do humans automatically assume everything is about violence? You know they're not violent creatures, right? They're not chimpanzees. These gorillas are habituated to humans. Unless you threaten their family, they treat you as if you were just another creature in the forest. They ignore you....unless you're in their way. That silverback was quite patient. All they had to do was quietly scuttle over a bit.
He was far enough away and his body language and the sound he was making (that gurgling noise) indicated that he was ok with them being there. If he felt threatened it probably would have been a different story. But that's why they all stayed still and kept their heads down in the beginning, to show they mean no harm. Plus I'm sure the guide also makes them feel safe
Must’ve been incredibly scary. That thing can grab you and snap your neck in a heartbeat. To have the ability to do that, but let you go… now that’s true power.
Silverbacks are only aggressive towards other dominant gorilla males, but they won't fight unless it's necessary. People don't realise they are protectors, not predators.
@@marymcintosh4406 I dont think there any cases of Gorillas killing humans, so living through an encounter with a gorilla is almost guarantied.. Ofc you might get injured if you act like a fool.. but remain calm and apparently they will too. I mean if anything the Gorilla is the one in danger in this encounter :P
We went on a gorilla trek in Rwanda a few years back and it was amazing! The guides are unbelievable and you feel very safe, but never forget who’s backyard your in and how powerful these magnificent creatures are!
In Uganda we had 2 armed rangers and a tour guide with our group of 4 people. There are lots of elephants in these mountains and they had destroyed the tracks. I had eye contact with a silverback and it was very friendly. However the trip to the gorilla family took a dangerous hike over 4 mountains, up and down very steep hills!! I will never do it again, it was a 5 hour nightmare.
Omegon he already knows that lol he’s taking the piss saying the guy who asked if ‘’ we can stand up’’ is a fucking moron, they should of let that guy stand up by himself...would of been fucking hilarious.
meatball sub w pepperonis the guide and camera man have clearly done this many times in their lives. I’m sure he knew that gorillas are more interested in physical dominance than worrying about some stupid sound that poses no threat
Honestly. I can’t imagine your first instinct in that situation is to start taking photos form three feet away. Taking a huge risk thinking the flash or beep won’t set it off
They are there with a guide, I expect they have been told what is safe to do. The gorilla seemed totally chill and friendly so I dont tihnk they were any danger... As long as everyone acts calm and humble ofc.
Theoretically yes, but gorillas barely ever eat meat. And those people were not in a threatening position at all so it really didn’t have anything to be afraid of.
@@TheGarlicfather You are joking, but its honestly a fair comparison.. The gorilla demonstrated friendly bodylanguage so they werent in any danger, similarly a human can kill another human really easily but we typically dont feel in danger near another human.

@@kiauni6818 Well, true, but I think it depends on the animal, and of course how much you know about it. Like, some animals you're supposed to run, or climb a tree, or stay still, or act big and be noisy. It's also possible that the camera man has some sort of "moral obligation" to do that, so that if the Gorilla does attack, it will attack him instead. Maybe he has the Gorilla equivalent of Bear spray, or has a weapon or something that makes his chance of survival higher than that of the other people present. I'll just leave all that to the experts, I don't plan to ever be close enough to a Gorilla to know any better XD

That whole crew of photographers was extremely lucky that that wasn't a aggressive, territorial gorilla. That would have ended really really ugly and wouldn't have made the prettiest photo-op either!
They didn’t give him any reason to be aggressive. They made themselves small and didn’t do anything he might see as a challenge like showing teeth or staring. They respected him in his kingdom, he showed them kindness. It’s simple
We cause them some serious anxiety by entering there domain, we are really tall, they tend to stand up beat there chest and look at you to intimidate ...so we tick two of those acts of intimidation just by going and looking at them, it's like a group of 8 foot extinct homonids just enter your house tensing there muscles frowning and looking at you, standing in your food and looking at your wife and kids, but to them there just enjoying your splendour...if they sat down relaxed and shook your hand it would put you at ease....that's what crouching and looking away is to the silverback, it means his group is safe and you are ok.

Everyone’s making jokes in the comments about how those people just ignored the Gorilla But these people were actually very smart because keeping your head down and not making eye contact is a show of respect in Gorilla society so the Silverback saw they weren’t a threat... In other words if this was you guys you would all be dead! 😂🤣
Considering the fact that a Silverback can twist a truck tire into a figure eight, yes, it would be wise to follow these guidelines. Especially when you understand how people found them out.
When i was a teacher i showed students videos of scientists scaling a cave in order to collect samples for experiments. A black student shouted out "You know no black person would ever do that shit!" Watching this video makes me think the same thing.
One of them? Silverbacks are between 10 and 15 times stronger than an average man. And can press over 4000 pounds. He could have killed them all without really trying.
NEVER stare directly into a gorilla's eyes. It's a sign of aggression. They will attack. Gorilla: "One wrong move and you will be dead or I will tear ya'll apart" 🤨 Everyone: *being respectful* 😅😨

@@Gaboxxy96 Unless it had Braun Stroman or Brock Lesnar standing in front of it, then it would of have some competition, hahaha!
Impalaman1968 Like being at a Detroit gas station at midnight
They didn’t give him any reason to be aggressive. They made themselves small and didn’t do anything he might see as a challenge like showing teeth or staring. They respected him in his kingdom, he showed them kindness. It’s simple
I'd be shitting myself for three days...
legend says that they were stuck up the mountain because of the amount of shitting in pantys that was done that day
Why? Gorilla’s are so gentle, they don’t have an aggressive nature at all unless you provoke them, they are called gentle giants for a reason
they're grunts may sound scary but it means they are being friendly with you
Tour guide " well guys this is Gerald and he is a completely wild gorilla"
Gerald " Wild! Im livid" (in cultured English voice)
He is so beautiful and fluffy! :)
Miss Amber YES! Now try run towards him shouting GIMME A HUG YOU'RE SO FLUFFY & see how he reacts :)
Fluffy...lol
everyone: avoid eye contact
Rwandan man: aye what up fam
Gorilla like: you guys my ancestors or descendants?
He walked through that crowd like a boss 💯
The fact wild gorillas can even tolerate humans operating so close to them is amazing to me.
Bruh.... now THAT'S clout! They scared to even LOOK at him!
looking at him could pass as a challenge, and challenging a gorilla usually isn’t the best way to stay safe
We cause them some serious anxiety by entering there domain, we are really tall, they tend to stand up beat there chest and look at you to intimidate ...so we tick two of those acts of intimidation just by going and looking at them, it's like a group of 8 foot extinct homonids just enter your house tensing there muscles frowning and looking at you, standing in your food and looking at your wife and kids, but to them there just enjoying your splendour...if they sat down relaxed and shook your hand it would put you at ease....that's what crouching and looking away is to the silverback, it means his group is safe and you are ok.
Radical Cajimas agreed. Standing and staring it down could get you killed
I love when boomers use words that they don't even know the meanings of. just how tf is this clout???

Gorilla be like "dont leave your trash here"
Look I just wanna eat some plants ok? Says the Silver Back
What a beautiful creature. I would have been terrified though, amazing experience.
Everyone’s making jokes in the comments about how those people just ignored the Gorilla
But these people were actually very smart because keeping your head down and not making eye contact is a show of respect in Gorilla society so the Silverback saw they weren’t a threat... In other words if this was you guys you would all be dead! 😂🤣

Shut you clown ass up.
Like you know anything.
Considering the fact that a Silverback can twist a truck tire into a figure eight, yes, it would be wise to follow these guidelines. Especially when you understand how people found them out.

You know nothing about nothing of nothing.
If i was there u see me in wwe with. Him😂
There’s so many videos like this… I feel like people come here WANTING to experience this
When i was a teacher i showed students videos of scientists scaling a cave in order to collect samples for experiments. A black student shouted out "You know no black person would ever do that shit!" Watching this video makes me think the same thing.
Well there were black people so are you sure
ya but they were the guides lol
Khal Drogo wow racist and not true
Khal Drogo There's something wrong with you have you been doing drugs
Khal Drogo Yeah I'm an African American surprised you got my gender right people always call me a he
I was waiting for him to charge back out of the bushes when they stood up laughing
The Guerrilla is like, “wtf are the humans doing, somebody gonna give me a banana or something? Y’all are weird”
Gorilla- Why are u in my home? get out! Get out of my home!
Very tense indeed... Great camera work. X

LOOOOL
IF he wanted he could have easily grabbed one of them and run off into the jungle
like in the movie right?
One of them? Silverbacks are between 10 and 15 times stronger than an average man. And can press over 4000 pounds. He could have killed them all without really trying.
So hes donkey kong
Lunes de comida pretty much
Vivek V lmaooo
They went full mannequin mode 😂
NEVER stare directly into a gorilla's eyes. It's a sign of aggression. They will attack.
Gorilla: "One wrong move and you will be dead or I will tear ya'll apart" 🤨
Everyone: *being respectful* 😅😨
“Yeah, who’s boss!” “That’s what I thought!” 😂
Sometimes I have a hard time believing such majestic animals exist.
If only we could look at them face to face randomly without them thinking that we're challenging them
Gorilla:"Human,Stop playing invisible phone"
Tense, but one of the most amazing experiences anyone would ever have!
Swmiu
Possibly a "shit in your pants" type experience.
