Corrupt youtube keeps deleting my posts but i wrote before that when i last went there 18yrs ago me and my dad at the time was at the other end of the enclosure while everyone else and other gorillas at other end, the silverback was at the end with just me and my dad as we watched a silverback litteraly laughing at a man who was struggling to get his bycicle through a narrow doorway and we looked at eachother so shocked but it was awesome! 😂 i love these animals! ❤

It's so interesting, most people are used to trusting animals whether they be cats or dogs but gorillas there is no chance you could fight them off. The connection this man has with this gorilla is based on trust that is as solid as iron.
