      He would've shoved her out the way by force. I've seen a silverback called Munyinya shove a man who wasn't aware that the silverback was right behind him, so the silverback simply shoved him with his fingers and the man dropped like a sack of potatoes.

      The thing is the gorillas need these people to visit them. These people pay money to see the gorillas and in turn that money is used security for the gorillas as there are poachers that will kill the gorillas for Bush meat and parts and there's also poachers that steal gorilla babies to sell as a pet to people. To steal a baby gorilla the other is killed and quite often the Silverback as well. These tourists dollars also keep the area where the gorillas live protected from deforestation and encroachment of other humans to build new villages and towns

      He would've shoved them eventually. Silverbacks only take their time because they know the individuals will move out the way soon, that's how dominant males act with their own gorilla group, so visitors are made to show the same respect or the silverback will feel it's authority is questioned.

I think gorillas are being portrayed well in the media nowadays, in fact most people today think they're peaceful gentle giants, though peaceful isn't entirely accurate due to the bitter and even fatal conflicts between rivals or the occasional infant killings committed by silverbacks who takeover a group.

      Not true at all, gorillas aren’t dumb hun… they literally communicate.
      Gorillas want absolutely nothing to do with humans as long we don’t try to show dominance over them. Adult gorillas are aware of their strength and mostly uses intimidation tactics if needed towards humans, you gotta realise we are still evolved apes. Getting attacked by one is 100% your own fault, i saw a video about a ailver back encounter where the ape had a stare down with the man, the man did the grunt of peace “we are just passing by” and the ape immediately looked away and did a cheat beat run past the humans showing its dominance and turning its back towards the humans technically meaning “im in charge, we dont want harm”

      Argue? Facepalm... You're just a bot who couldn't understand the obvious gist of what I was saying.
      Look up the difference between a jungle and a rain forest and it would state that a rain forest, like a jungle, is filled with thick vegetation but it has a layer of tall trees.
      You also tried to change the topic to fit your failed point and I never even mentioned gorillas living in caves. I stated animals to the analogy of the comparison where it's not like a scenario where these guys are venturing inside a cave with an animal living in it. They are literally outside just passing through where its a lot more of a reasonable.
      Oh btw, the Gorilla wasn't being polite. It was displaying it's full dominance and control over the "rain forest" by expecting the human to move out of its way or get its spinal cord ripped out.

      Like all other animals, simians are subservient to instinct. To them manners are an alien concept and not possible. Might as well discuss their relationship with Mars.
      Humans alone are capable of manners--of politeness--of respect for the elderly and compassion for the weak--of chivalry and a gentleman's code of conduct. That humans opt against evolution and the impersonal, ruthless ways of nature and chose to practice these concepts so frequently that we've come to mistake them for the nature of not just us but all of creation as well speaks to how uniquely remarkable and praiseworthy mankind is. Gorillas have nothing on us.

      @@jlongobardy1612 You're so correct, JL. So many of these commenters anthropomorphize animal behavior in order to virtue-signal how they themselves are superior to other humans. Let the anthropomorphizers try staring directly into an adult male gorilla's eyes -- without moving toward the silverback or making threatening hand gestures -- and see if he continues to be beautiful and precious. He might rip them apart for making prolonged eye contact. Notice how they wisely avoid making eye contact here. Especially the young woman who had to move the most.
