@Billy Shears no it will read "Billy was brutally raped by a gorilla but luckily Billy survived and lived a very long life riddled with ptsd, insomnia and many failed suicide attempts and died a slow and miserable death from Colon cancer that formed in the scar tissue inside of the anal cavity from the brutal attack " You best hope I'm not like nostradamus and what u wrote was actually a premonition
I absolutely love the calm, measured, self-assured look in the silverbacks eyes. He knows that if the need arises he can handle whatever comes his way, which makes him so chill..
@stobe187 watch the Umubano Family. The Silverback Charles has a hilarious personality! If a person starts moving too close, Charles won't charge, but he will "run" past the person and push them with his hand or hips....there's always that one person who doesn't follow the Guide's rules and ruins it for everyone else! Charles and his Guide are very close, Charles trusts him and many times will walk up to him and pat his back. It's like he's saying "Thank you for keeping those humans away!" I think of all the Silverbacks, he is the one who shows people that they must respect Gorillas. He will NEVER hurt anyone, he's just trying to warn them to not get too close. I "adopted" him 15yrs. ago at Christmas, and ever since he's my favorite!
If you want to be saved from depression and every other evil, seek for yourself the truth about Jesus Christ. I was depressed too and in a really bad way. You'll have to read the bible for yourself to see what it is really about because most modern 'Christianity' is thoroughly corrupted and heretical. True Christianity is beautiful.

I love them too! There aren’t very many of the mountain girls left in the Virunga National Park in Rwanda. I know there are park rangers that are sworn to give their lives to protect these gorillas from poachers. I honestly would love that job. They also take care of the baby orphans in an gorilla orphanage. They are better than humans. Maybe we shouldn’t have gotten the extra 2.4% that separate us from them of dna so we could be more like them. They are beautiful, intelligent, peaceful and emotional creatures. That deserve so much better from humans. I will go see them in my future. It’s on my bucket list.
Gorillas are such kind and intelligent beings, they are not aggressive if not provoked. They symbolize a family and the power of the nature. They are our distant cousins and we should protect them, but also respect their privacy.
If they and humans have almost the same 100% genes, then I wonder what happens when human and gorilla have sex. What would the baby be like physically and intelligently?
chest beating isn't what you ad everyone heard on Tarzan. Apes have chests with far more volume and laryngeal air sacs that allow them to make and alter the sounds. Watch Finding Bigfoot- those idiots beating trees with sticks isn't the knocking noise. In my 30+ years of researching Relict Hominids no credible reports of them dragging sticks around are seen...but Gorilla's can knock anytime, anyplace.
I could watch these beautiful majestic creatures all day long. They are so fascinating and enjoyable to watch. Something special about observing other intelligent animals interact with each other with the same kinds of emotions humans do. Their gentle and peaceful nature, and capacity for empathy, compassion, love, and playfulness fills me with joy. They are surely less aggressive than some humans are, and have twice the heart.
I can see why gorilla poaching is so widespread. Look at them--they're so peaceful, calm, whole familes with a huge silverbacks & tiny babies tolerating humans right next to them. They're strong enough to kill us with their bare hands, but the most they tend to do is look at this group with curiosity. They're gentle creatures, & poachers take advantage of that fact. It's amazing that they let us witness them so close; they deserve our respect!

So true I saw a silver back in the Houston zoo earlier this month...he seemed so depressed in a glass box eating old lettuce he was facing away from everyone probably tired of being looked at all day

Chilling with your whole family all the time, nothing to worry about in the world except finding food. And other animals but as far as I know gorillas don't get fcked with too much but I could be wrong
The "funeral" he described of the Silverback was touching....And arent we also like that with dead? Some people die and are immediately forgotten and others the whole world joins together to mourn their passing...
It was! There’s another documentary that shows two brothers who lost their dad and they were mourning by beating their chest and trying to groom him. It was very sad
Yes my friend you can see these mountain gorillas in Uganda at a cheap price ( $700) is the cost of the permit, and i can help you and we prepaire this trip to see mountain gorillas.
The gorillas are like: ok everybody the big hairless apes came back to learn from us. Make sure everyone's on best behavior. Also well have few demonstrations. You 2 start a lil argument so I can show them how to handle that. You in the back show of a bit and make sure you show how to get food. Ok guys its important we teach our distant cousins how to live properly otherwise they'll go extinct
Last time I was at a zoo (Los Angeles, 2008) there was a massive silver back leaning up on the windows of the exhibit, I was able to stand mere feet away and look into his eyes, and it like nothing else I've experienced. It did not feel like I was looking into the eyes of an animal. There was so much more there and I could feel it, I could just sense it. It was definitely a simple but profound moment. I'll never forget it as long as I live. Edit: 9:03 I'm not surprised he mentioned this very thing.
@mj. rock That's a really ignorant statement, animals can love, there's scientific studies about it. Many species even have personalities, if instincts completely ruled their behavior every animal of a species would act the exact same as other of the same specie, for example, there wouldn't be aggressive or calm dogs, because they have the same instincts. You're just really ignorant.
@mj. rock What does that have to do with anything? But I have a little question for you, so here it goes: There's a lot of bad and suffering in the world, so, if God is omnipotent, and there's still bad and suffering in the world, that's means he's not that good, and if God is good but there's still a lot of bad and suffering in the world, that's means he's not omnipotent. What is your reply to that?
I can see aliens observing me. Me: Inside the pantry looking for some grub. Aliens: See he entered a closet area where they store most of their food. The interesting thing here is that this is all non-perishable good, while they keep perishable goods inside a box that cools down the food. Genius. You see him looking back and forth between the cereal and oreo's, he is trying to decide what he wants to eat next. Don't get the wrong picture, just because you see no meat here doesn't mean they are not meat eaters, they probably will cook us up and eat us given the chance.
This just blew my mind how amazing they are and this is great video and I’m watching it on a 50 inch so it’s like I’m there and they look so unique and amazing! thank you for creating this and sharing it for us to watch on UA-cam. Can you imagine living in your own world and never see any part of the world and just be happy living in the trees, knowing nothing of stress or any danger just worried about your little colony or tribe.
Sad state of humanity these days, that a being related to us is more human than us!!! Hope we never loose them as a source of check in to sanity and true love!
I am so envious. I would have loved to meet these magnificent animals. It won't happen in my lifetime so videos like this are very important to me. Thank you so much for posting.
Julian Starbuck one guy simply states he wants to see animals and an asshole makes a retarded statement, they’re not pussies you and that guy are just ignorant
Magnificent and beautiful. I think the first time I realised how loving and gentle gorillas were, was a moment when a mother was holding her newborn to her chest and the infant was getting fussy, wriggling in her arms, and the mother began to pat her baby on the back and rock it. It brought tears to my eyes.
There are funny videos of silverbacks playing with the kids and it’s so funny and exactly how a human father would act. Gorillas are so gentle and peaceful, chimps on the other hand? Only other species besides humans to wage organized war on other animals.
Indeed. Some wild chimp groups can be extremely violent & some will travel & kill neighbouring troops. The Bonobo are the more peaceful. I still love all primates. Some frighten me, though. Gorillas are my favourite. I see more of the gentler side of human behaviour in them.
@@suzc862 Bonobo’s settle arguments not with violence, but with sex 😂. Unlike chimps where the males dominate the females, the bonobos have females in charge and they solve conflicts through sex😆. It’s amazing how we see glimpses of ourselves in them.
@@WilbertLek What are you talking about? Are you implying this is fake? Scientists study gorillas for a long time now and we know they don't just attack humans.
@@mrwoody1413 Save some money, visit a travel agent, they will make all necessary arrangements for a small fee. A good one can put you anywhere in the world.
The chest beating sounds so strange. It’s like when you put your hand on a cup or something, sounds very suction-y not what you’d expect it to sound like at all
@King Charles I'd say it's only "sounds" intimidating because we know what it's coming from. I know if I was walking down a street at night and heard this sound (without knowing what it was from) I'd be confused, but not intimidated.
This is a fantastic documentary. I do love gorillas and admire them for their gentleness and their closeness to each other as a family group. Thank you for this vid. More power to you!
Oh, that mother and baby looking into each other's eyes like that, just melted me into a puddle. How lovely! She was jiggling her wee baby with the same love and movements we all automatically do. I've found myself doing it with dolls!
Gorillas are my favourite out of all apes. There is something in them that strongly reminds me of humans (especially here: 7:36), even chimps and orangutans don't resemble us as much as these guys do. They are like bigger, stronger, more hairy and more badass version of us.
My very favorite, the mountain gorilla. They are the gentlest, kindest and most protective of all peoples. The silverback is the leader & hero of the family, using his size & strength to protect all others to the point that he will sacrifice himself for the greater good of his family; if only all men could do the same. 🙏🏼💗🌏
They treat there babies better then alot of human mothers ,we need to learn better parenting from these gentle gorillas, they never abuse or hit there babies and always hold them close ,very important for humans to learn from .
All the Gorillas r so precious! ❤. Gentle giants I didn't know this till I watched this wonderful video. Awww so sweet they really r magnificent looking. I wish people would wise up and treat all living beings w/ respect and compassion......all beings r special and humans need to help, protect and have empathy for them......really enjoyed this video so Thank You! 😮😅😊. U guys r all Earth angels.
Nope, that's what the system feeds you. Where is all the in between monkey - humans... If we evolved why did all the species in between cease to exist with no bone or body discoveries. Rumors and lies spread quick son.
CryptoCurrency Line Sure 99% same genetics but we have no relationship to them whatsoever I guess genetics are just a hoax anyway because muhh god and muhh creationism
The Swag Mango I watched documentaries about Koko lately and she even learned sign language and was able to ask for a cat pet. It blew my mind and I realized how close they are to us, their intelligence is underrated by most of us
While Gorillas are fascinating creatures and one of the most similar to humans in many ways,they were created by The Heavenly Father,The Creator of all things good just as we humans were created by Him. Each person,each animal,plant,&insect were created for the purposes of His. If there is not a Creator,&if we as people were not created then what really is the purpose of life and of living???! Why not just take whatever we want and use it all up,&why not do just whatever we want to do that pleases us at any given time if there is no life and no existence,with no one to answer to for hidden things done when this life comes to an end? Something few realize is that every person in created with a body,a soul,&a spirit which grow and change through the years of this life.While the fleshly body returns to dust with time after death,the soul and the spirit both live on and will spend eternity (the next life) in only one of two places,depending on the choices we make and the actions we take in this life. The soul and spirit are what makes each of us whom we are.We will each spend our next life,never ending either with our Creator in God's great city or if we have rejected our Saviour in this life,we will spend the next life away from the Saviour in darkness,pain,regret,&alone in torment. Something a wise one will ask themselves is.....'If this man who believes and obeys The Good Lord and lives his life the best he can live it in service to The Good Lord ends up being wrong in his beliefs,what will he have lost for his mistaken beliefs?' The answer is: He's gained much joy and peace in his life,but he's lost nothing! If,on the other hand one believes there is no Creator and there is no Saviour of man,&he lives his life in whatever ways he chooses while not believing in nor serving God,what will his just rewards be if he is wrong and he dies while never having searched out the truth in all the days God allowed him to live? This man will find himself eternally seperated from God while he suffers alone in pain,torment,®ret. If you look up a man online named Doctor Adrian Rogers who is a now deceased pastor,&listen to what he has to say,it may aid you some in finding the truth. Jeff Schreve is another name to look up online and hear what he has to say. I believe you'll likely be surprised if you only give it a chance.
Theyre just Incredible animals.. Who would think something so fearsome would be so peaceful. Even after all h poaching that took place in the past. Thank goodness these magnificent creatures are being able to thrive now. Hopefully their numbers continue to grow
Wonderful place, fantastic families. So endearing. I'm so happy for what your lifes work, or your guides work anyway has preserved. Thankyou for this. I am concerned why your not wearing masks???? Those gorillas can't tolerate human disease. Protect them More!!!! We have to do all we can, there's only 700 some left in existence? Holy crap.
There's no record I can find of a wild gorilla ever killing or seriously injuring a human. But given that a silverback weighs in at ~400 lbs and could at least _potentially_ tear you apart like tissue paper... yeah, I'd have to change my drawers too.
ForPETE’S sake City folks may not recognize the signs, signals& warnings animals give before they "flip" as you say. Those who deal with animals or spend time around them are aware of the obvious (to most) warning signs that they're pissed, don't want to be messed with, or intend to "fuck something up".
@@Chief2Moon city folks cant even feed themselves or heat their house without an entire network of support. Of course they cant tell when a wild animal is about to put a stompin on em.
So nice to see them in the wild like that, they absolutely are healthier looking than gorillas kept in captivity, their coats, skin, their weight, just look healthier ,which is a good thing 💯🥰🦍
one of the best videos i have had the pleasure to see there humanity and peace compaired to ours who is the wiser species they simply live as nature intended for them to do while we require nature to bend to our will

didnt the guy at the beginning say they were BLACKBACKS? i didnt watch the whole thing so what am i missing
@@jussayinmipeece1069 I think the young males are called "black backs" because their backs haven't turned silver yet.
@@KazakDax ok, sort of funny though. Guess i am now a "shine head " then.🤣

"Their eyesight is very similar to yours"
Me: so not that good
Lol.....thats what i said. Two corneal transplants for me.
LovoluNxGen I think he means they can see colors like we can because most animals are color blind
@@makhtar6029 i can only imagine what other animals might see if they can see more colours than us
They be mad as hell. Lol. I aint too blind but blind enough just to wear it while driving. But it is getting worst.
😂 😂
What a majestic creatures. Gorillas truly are unique animals.
The "funeral" he described of the Silverback was touching....And arent we also like that with dead? Some people die and are immediately forgotten and others the whole world joins together to mourn their passing...
sadly we are
It was! There’s another documentary that shows two brothers who lost their dad and they were mourning by beating their chest and trying to groom him. It was very sad
@@Lostinmyhead23 Do you know the documentary name I think I remember watching that
@@ethandiddens2193 ua-cam.com/video/BSX0M1qorIM/v-deo.html here’s the link to the video. I think there’s a longer documentary and this may be the clip
@@Lostinmyhead23 Thank you
I simply adore gorillas. It would be a dream come true to watch them in the wild as you did. I'd cry a lot. They're just magnificent.
Yes my friend you can see these mountain gorillas in Uganda at a cheap price ( $700) is the cost of the permit, and i can help you and we prepaire this trip to see mountain gorillas.
You cry real loud and you are dead..
@@garyD-sp7rkoh hush up you Nincompoop. get out of here with your radical cult buffoonery.
@@garyD-sp7rkThere's no proof
The gorillas are like: ok everybody the big hairless apes came back to learn from us. Make sure everyone's on best behavior. Also well have few demonstrations. You 2 start a lil argument so I can show them how to handle that. You in the back show of a bit and make sure you show how to get food. Ok guys its important we teach our distant cousins how to live properly otherwise they'll go extinct
brilliant
Yes but where is the preacher about harambe

Cuuuuute! 🦍 🌱 🌎 ❤️🏃🏼♂️
Last time I was at a zoo (Los Angeles, 2008) there was a massive silver back leaning up on the windows of the exhibit, I was able to stand mere feet away and look into his eyes, and it like nothing else I've experienced. It did not feel like I was looking into the eyes of an animal. There was so much more there and I could feel it, I could just sense it. It was definitely a simple but profound moment. I'll never forget it as long as I live.
Edit: 9:03 I'm not surprised he mentioned this very thing.
Too bad they have him locked up in a zoo
The guy from hangover really can do anything. Much respect
I so loved how Charlie explains the mother holding the baby with so much love
@mj. rock Animals actually do feel love, and many animales are not just instinct-driven
@mj. rock and what is love?
@mj. rock ok, cool. But what is love exactly?
@mj. rock That's a really ignorant statement, animals can love, there's scientific studies about it. Many species even have personalities, if instincts completely ruled their behavior every animal of a species would act the exact same as other of the same specie, for example, there wouldn't be aggressive or calm dogs, because they have the same instincts. You're just really ignorant.
@mj. rock What does that have to do with anything? But I have a little question for you, so here it goes:
There's a lot of bad and suffering in the world, so, if God is omnipotent, and there's still bad and suffering in the world, that's means he's not that good, and if God is good but there's still a lot of bad and suffering in the world, that's means he's not omnipotent.
What is your reply to that?
I can see aliens observing me.
Me: Inside the pantry looking for some grub.
Aliens: See he entered a closet area where they store most of their food. The interesting thing here is that this is all non-perishable good, while they keep perishable goods inside a box that cools down the food. Genius. You see him looking back and forth between the cereal and oreo's, he is trying to decide what he wants to eat next. Don't get the wrong picture, just because you see no meat here doesn't mean they are not meat eaters, they probably will cook us up and eat us given the chance.
😂😂😂😂
Legend lol
this cracked me up. thanks! 🤣🤣🤣
Why did i read that in Werner Herzogs voice ?
Exactly in the documentary way
This just blew my mind how amazing they are and this is great video and I’m watching it on a 50 inch so it’s like I’m there and they look so unique and amazing! thank you for creating this and sharing it for us to watch on UA-cam. Can you imagine living in your own world and never see any part of the world and just be happy living in the trees, knowing nothing of stress or any danger just worried about your little colony or tribe.
its 2020 and we are nearing 1,100 mountain gorilla's hell yeah!!!!
It says 880 on Google
@@udontknowmyname8714 You've got your facts wrong it's at least 1,000.
I'm just glad its on the increase!!!!!
Wouldn't masks help while visiting their turf? Just a thought?
How's they're population doing in 2022?
Any word on 2022 numbers?
There's no telling what kinds of videos in my recommended I'll end up watching in their entirety.
RIP Dian Fossey. She gave everything for her love of the gorilla
Rip 👈nonsense 🦉
Even her head 😢
Sad state of humanity these days, that a being related to us is more human than us!!! Hope we never loose them as a source of check in to sanity and true love!
They look so powerful and beautiful at the same time.
I am so envious. I would have loved to meet these magnificent animals. It won't happen in my lifetime so videos like this are very important to me. Thank you so much for posting.
Holy shit go to a fucking zoo.
Chalupa batman to see these captivated ? Nah
@@PrussianFrost I don't think he wants to see them in a enclosed small zoo, he's probably talking about seeing their group in a natural habitat
@cloudykai it's a joke pussies
Julian Starbuck one guy simply states he wants to see animals and an asshole makes a retarded statement, they’re not pussies you and that guy are just ignorant
Magnificent and beautiful.
I think the first time I realised how loving and gentle gorillas were, was a moment when a mother was holding her newborn to her chest and the infant was getting fussy, wriggling in her arms, and the mother began to pat her baby on the back and rock it. It brought tears to my eyes.
♥️
Lovely, precious moment! 🤗🦍💝
There are funny videos of silverbacks playing with the kids and it’s so funny and exactly how a human father would act.
Gorillas are so gentle and peaceful, chimps on the other hand? Only other species besides humans to wage organized war on other animals.
Indeed. Some wild chimp groups can be extremely violent & some will travel & kill neighbouring troops.
The Bonobo are the more peaceful. I still love all primates. Some frighten me, though. Gorillas are my favourite. I see more of the gentler side of human behaviour in them.
@@suzc862 Bonobo’s settle arguments not with violence, but with sex 😂. Unlike chimps where the males dominate the females, the bonobos have females in charge and they solve conflicts through sex😆. It’s amazing how we see glimpses of ourselves in them.
That gorilla specialist is the greatest! He absolutely loves his job! It’s pretty awesome!
The Gorillas are beautiful. Good work everyone.
18:24 I love that he's so amazed by the mom gorilla, while the expert is like "man, I wish we had In-N-Out around these places"
Wow... it’s amazing that they can just walk around the gorillas and the gorillas don’t even care one bit, they just do whatever they usually do...
Never treat a Hollywood movie as a nature documentary.....
It's rather curious indeed that apes exhibit this nonchalant behaviors. Even the smaller types. Go to a zoo and see how they ignore you to death.
Chimps would tear you apart
@@WilbertLek What are you talking about? Are you implying this is fake? Scientists study gorillas for a long time now and we know they don't just attack humans.
@@Thesngianno he's saying Hollywood makes them out to be killing beasts, when in reality they're cool as a cucumber
When I saw the mother locking into the eyes of her baby, I feal tears in my eyes...Gorillas are so amazing and beautiful...i really love them !
I was there in 89.
Wonderfull trip.actualy the best of my long life.

So jealous of these guys. I would so love to be out there to experience that. Love the gorillas.
I find it so crazy how they allow humans to chills near them even though they're soooo powerful hierarchy based.
Yeah, their ferocity is just being exaggerated, gorillas are just really peaceful creatures unless they feel threatened.
@@iceman1287 yeahh I get what you mean
Umm humans are their fellow primate so they have no issue with us hairless apes
@@qjtvaddict bro 😂
the last gorillas look who grew up definitely recognized the man...❤
The chest beating sounds so strange. It’s like when you put your hand on a cup or something, sounds very suction-y not what you’d expect it to sound like at all
Pop pop pop pop!
@King Charles I'd say it's only "sounds" intimidating because we know what it's coming from. I know if I was walking down a street at night and heard this sound (without knowing what it was from) I'd be confused, but not intimidated.
Imagine trying to do a documentary on tigers and trying to get this close with them. It’d never go down this smooth lol
😂😂😂
Felines and primates are different mammals. Gorillas are so similar to humans that they see us as just a unique type of ape.
This is a fantastic documentary. I do love gorillas and admire them for their gentleness and their closeness to each other as a family group. Thank you for this vid. More power to you!
Much more gorillas, gorilla sounds, gorilla action and much less people = better video
I so am in love with gorillas. The are misunderstood. I think of them as gentle giants. There amazing creatures.
@mj. rock l would as seems humans are so stupid.
@mj. rock Yeah you're dumb
Susan L Caldwell I wonder what you must think when you see a hulking black man 🤔

Oh, that mother and baby looking into each other's eyes like that, just melted me into a puddle. How lovely! She was jiggling her wee baby with the same love and movements we all automatically do. I've found myself doing it with dolls!
A wonderful short documentary!! Well done Explore.org
Ennio Finaldi
A great documentary. Really held my attention and I thoroughly enjoyed watching these wonderful animals. Nicely done. This is a keeper.
Is it just me that want to go smoke a blunt with them, then eat a fruit salad or something.
Fuck yesssss! This comment is mad underrated.
This needs more likes here I'll help you
@Edward Oliver you ok?
marijuana is super strongly overrated
Then they rip you apart for puffing your stinking ass smoke on them
This is an amazing documentary. In the end, he said that he rediscovered his own humanity through the gorillas. They are such wonderful animals.
Gorillas are my favourite out of all apes. There is something in them that strongly reminds me of humans (especially here: 7:36), even chimps and orangutans don't resemble us as much as these guys do. They are like bigger, stronger, more hairy and more badass version of us.
My very favorite, the mountain gorilla. They are the gentlest, kindest and most protective of all peoples. The silverback is the leader & hero of the family, using his size & strength to protect all others to the point that he will sacrifice himself for the greater good of his family; if only all men could do the same. 🙏🏼💗🌏
We did until society demonized it...
They treat there babies better then alot of human mothers ,we need to learn better parenting from these gentle gorillas, they never abuse or hit there babies and always hold them close ,very important for humans to learn from .
I dunno what human mothers you’v been around!! Utter Skum and jailed woman should be who don’t look after babies the right way
All the Gorillas r so precious! ❤. Gentle giants I didn't know this till I watched this wonderful video. Awww so sweet they really r magnificent looking. I wish people would wise up and treat all living beings w/ respect and compassion......all beings r special and humans need to help, protect and have empathy for them......really enjoyed this video so Thank You! 😮😅😊. U guys r all Earth angels.
Such beautiful amazing creatures.
Creatures? Don't u mean ancestors.
Nope, that's what the system feeds you. Where is all the in between monkey - humans... If we evolved why did all the species in between cease to exist with no bone or body discoveries. Rumors and lies spread quick son.

Sure 99% same genetics but we have no relationship to them whatsoever
I guess genetics are just a hoax anyway because muhh god and muhh creationism
The Swag Mango
I watched documentaries about Koko lately and she even learned sign language and was able to ask for a cat pet. It blew my mind and I realized how close they are to us, their intelligence is underrated by most of us
While Gorillas are fascinating creatures and one of the most similar to humans in many ways,they were created by The Heavenly Father,The Creator of all things good just as we humans were created by Him. Each person,each animal,plant,&insect were created for the purposes of His.
If there is not a Creator,&if we as people were not created then what really is the purpose of life and of living???! Why not just take whatever we want and use it all up,&why not do just whatever we want to do that pleases us at any given time if there is no life and no existence,with no one to answer to for hidden things done when this life comes to an end?
Something few realize is that every person in created with a body,a soul,&a spirit which grow and change through the years of this life.While the fleshly body returns to dust with time after death,the soul and the spirit both live on and will spend eternity (the next life) in only one of two places,depending on the choices we make and the actions we take in this life.
The soul and spirit are what makes each of us whom we are.We will each spend our next life,never ending either with our Creator in God's great city or if we have rejected our Saviour in this life,we will spend the next life away from the Saviour in darkness,pain,regret,&alone in torment.
Something a wise one will ask themselves is.....'If this man who believes and obeys The Good Lord and lives his life the best he can live it in service to The Good Lord ends up being wrong in his beliefs,what will he have lost for his mistaken beliefs?' The answer is: He's gained much joy and peace in his life,but he's lost nothing!
If,on the other hand one believes there is no Creator and there is no Saviour of man,&he lives his life in whatever ways he chooses while not believing in nor serving God,what will his just rewards be if he is wrong and he dies while never having searched out the truth in all the days God allowed him to live? This man will find himself eternally seperated from God while he suffers alone in pain,torment,®ret.
If you look up a man online named Doctor Adrian Rogers who is a now deceased pastor,&listen to what he has to say,it may aid you some in finding the truth. Jeff Schreve is another name to look up online and hear what he has to say. I believe you'll likely be surprised if you only give it a chance.
Is it just me or does Charles remind anyone else of Will Farrel in Land of the Lost.
definitely
And the man in the mustache looks like the old guy from tarzan
The gorillas remain so positive despite their high levels of homelessness and unemployment. We can truly learn a great deal from these furry bastards.
I absolutely love gorillas the number 1 animal to me on this planet.. my 2nd would be the Bengal tiger
The guy at 13:40 looks petrified then a few seconds later you see him hiding behind a tree.
that guy is in the wrong line of business lol
Pretty sure he’s more comfortable in the area than the people “documenting”, he wasn’t hiding behind the tree looks like he stepped back to lean on it
Lol is just look like he was told to get out the scene
thank you for the documentary about camera men, with a tiny smattering of footage of gorillas put in as well
Yeah my cat follows me around everywhere and makes a documentary about me, which will run on cat channel.
Theyre just Incredible animals.. Who would think something so fearsome would be so peaceful. Even after all h poaching that took place in the past. Thank goodness these magnificent creatures are being able to thrive now. Hopefully their numbers continue to grow
You guys are doing amazing work studying our distant relatives. I think we have alot to learn from them
In gorilla society: "we found your nose print all over the crime scene"
Wonderful place, fantastic families. So endearing. I'm so happy for what your lifes work, or your guides work anyway has preserved. Thankyou for this.
I am concerned why your not wearing masks???? Those gorillas can't tolerate human disease. Protect them More!!!!
We have to do all we can, there's only 700 some left in existence? Holy crap.
I would give my life for these beautiful amazing Gorillas
Nobody: ...
Greg: This is absolutely fantastic
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that he explained as much as he could, what he thought there actions ment. That makes it even more fascinating. Thank u:))
their expression, their eyes, the way how they look, oh god, i realised they are humans! gorillas are very smart as well..
omg mama with her baby, just absolutely fascinated with baby.... so sweet. so loving. wish all human parents were like that.
If a Silverback charges towards me beating its chest I think I'd piss myself.
ok pussy
Nomad it's best to non aggressively stand ur ground! Then assess ur situation keeping ur exit options open!
There's no record I can find of a wild gorilla ever killing or seriously injuring a human.
But given that a silverback weighs in at ~400 lbs and could at least _potentially_ tear you apart like tissue paper... yeah, I'd have to change my drawers too.
Nomad Black AS YOU SHOULD
Elias 7 u would be the one to piss the most BIG BOY
I do watch this documentaries all day and would love to see new ones
Not almost HUMAN and this guys in LA LA LAND .... any wild animal can flip on you in a heartbeat !
And humans can’t right
ForPETE’S sake City folks may not recognize the signs, signals& warnings animals give before they "flip" as you say. Those who deal with animals or spend time around them are aware of the obvious (to most) warning signs that they're pissed, don't want to be messed with, or intend to "fuck something up".
@@Chief2Moon city folks cant even feed themselves or heat their house without an entire network of support. Of course they cant tell when a wild animal is about to put a stompin on em.
Ya bc humans never do that of courses the are human not homo sapien but in the family
Theese great animals cannot live in zoos
So nice to see them in the wild like that, they absolutely are healthier looking than gorillas kept in captivity, their coats, skin, their weight, just look healthier ,which is a good thing 💯🥰🦍
one of the best videos i have had the pleasure to see there humanity and peace compaired to ours who is the wiser species they simply live as nature intended for them to do while we require nature to bend to our will
These are absolutely magnificent animals. Beautiful.
I've just watched this documentary for the second time and I loved it even more the second time. I will never get bored of watching such incredible beauty 🦍❤
My God, what magnificent beings. Impossible to understand their persecution. So grateful to know they are being protected now.
