"His mother abandon him, he was raised by humans." I think that answers why he doesn't like gorillas and likes humans.

Have they ever considered that maybe he's just not a gorilla person? There are plenty of humans who love animals, but aren't too fond of other humans. Forcing him to go through "therapy" if he's perfectly happy with his choice of social association seems pointless and a little insensitive. It's like trying to force an introvert to be a social butterfly. If his mom abandoned him, then it makes sense that he would be like, "Well, screw you guys. I'm going to be friends with the species that actually bothered to give a shit about me." EDIT: I'm actually starting to feel a little silly about my comment getting so many plus ones. As I stated below, I am by no means a gorilla expert. I will fully admit I'm probably just projecting my own pet peeves onto Patrick for the most part, and that I could be dead wrong about the relevance of my argument given that he's an entirely different species.

Younique by Lavon V. Thanks. X3 As an introvert myself, this kind of shit annoys me. People think there's something wrong with you if you don't want to be around your own kind 24/7. We don't work like that. Socializing may charge you up like a battery, but for us, it's incredibly draining. I completely understand that the idea of being alone for hours on end scares the living piss out of extroverts, They need social activity to boost their energy. I just wish they would take the time to understand that for us, our alone time is how WE recharge. Just leave the damn gorilla alone, people. If he's happy with humans, leave him be.

***** Humans are regarded as social animals too, but not all of them get their stimulation from interacting with others. He may be an introvert. He may also develop a resentment towards humans if they continue forcing him to socialize with a species he doesn't like. He may view it as them rejecting him as well, and then he'd really be isolated. On a personal note, I have a question. Why do you keep referring to him as "it" instead of "he"?

***** I'm not sure you have the right idea about what introversion entails. Introversion is not a disease with symptoms or factors that "cause" it. It is merely a form of social interaction. Extroverts get their stimulation from social activity, introverts are drained by social activity and need time to recharge. The idea that introverts are depressed by default is a misconception. It's just that extroverts don't understand how introverts can be perfectly happy with being alone most of the time. Being alone for extended periods of time scares extroverts, so they assume that it must be terrible for the introverts, which it is not. Just because we're quiet, doesn't mean we're not having fun. Just because we're alone, doesn't mean we're depressed. People assume a lot about introverts because they never take the time to ask us how we're feeling. If anything, people not being mindful of us and how we interact with the world is what is truly depressing.

Worst. Report. Editing. EVER.

Basically this Gorilla is a introvert. Loves people of other species but not his own. Relatable.

00:58 "Patrick is not a ladies man (heavy metal starts playing). Instead he's all up in their grill!" I died

He’s protecting his humans because he knows what the others would do to them .

I wonder if he'd crush a human without realizing it if we let him hang out with us. "Give us a hug!" *violent cracking noises*

Maybe it's because he's feels like he can't trust his own so he's alone all the time. Humans raised him when his own didn't. Gorillas are smart and they feel and i wouldn't be surprised if he's a little depressed or traumatized by something that happened to him in the past.

"He's a good man." lmao XD that cracked me up.

So why did they moving him if he's already showed that he doesn't want to be with other gorillas? Moving him away from his human family surely won't help him like other gorillas.

Darius von Liechtenstein I think they are following the trend of youtubers doing it

I can understand this guy's behavior as a bit of a social outcast myself. He got abandoned by his mother and likely was ignored by the rest of his group, but suddenly in comes this group of humans who takes care of him and raises him and gives him a home and new life. Little wonder he doesn't like the other gorillas. Honestly, I would have just left him alone and let him hang out with human beings, they're pretty much the only family he's ever got. Of course, this vid's 3 years old and it's probably a bit late for that bit of foresight, but, you know, whatever.

Protect this gorilla at all costs!

Story of my life...

Makes perfect sense within the first few sentences. Brought up by humans. It's sad that they removed themselves from his life because he is probably depressed. I'm sure they get traumatized just like humans do. I understand wanting him to be with other gorillas, but it is still a bit upsetting. hopefully, he is doing well.

Why is there a gate up between her and the gorilla? If she has known him for 14 years, he's not going to attack her. That's just demoralizing to the gorilla. Go in there and hang out with him!

That sad background music though lol

He’s kinda like the Reverse Tarzan. A Gorilla raised by humans. I mean, makes sense why he likes Humans better.

Any updates on his progress it's been years

Awwwww. Omg. Awwwwwwwww :'( :') he's the best

Can anyone give an update on Patrick's new Home?????

The editing on this video though lmao

he thought he was human!

I saw him at a zoo in South Carolina, he was pretty big.

and then too humans smoke them Justice for harambe

Patrick clearly doesn't know how trigger-happy humans can be.

Muito lindo!!!😘😘😘,,

they probably never introduced him to any other gorillas and all he's seeing every single day while growing up are humans and then they expect him to get along with other gorillas now that he's full grown?

Is Patrick still in South Carolina? Is he in Columbia?

he is a cool guy

I wanna be Patrick’s friend

Should make his President of the United States...this ape has more honesty, integrity and backbone !!

See, the Gorrila's evolving. In few months you will see a homo apian sapien.

Think of an introvert human that loves cats or dogs.

So, this was 2013. What happened to him?

How did things go in his new home?

bruh this zookeeper looks like Pete Carroll

People NEVER comprehend how much our closest relatives- chimpanzees , then gorillas and orangutans- actually care about/ love us. Don't you guys think that they can see how closely related we are?

No video of him interacting with other gorillas

I wonder how well Patrick would get along with humans without the plexiglass divider.

0:46 I’ve Seen King Kong 1933 Before! 😍❤️😍

Terry crews in a nutshell

Put him in a situation with a submissive female, I bet you he changes. Silver backs don't do well with other silver backs once they reach a certain age. That's normal. Find a gorilla who is semi-independent that won't cling to him (yet will submit to him as necessary) and he'll be fine. Each gorilla has a distinct personality. You can't just throw him in with any gorilla, they have to match his temperament and needs. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the right fit, just like it does with humans. You can't keep shipping him from home to home, though. He'll never learn trust or security that way, and that will definitely affect his social behaviors. Humans can't raise these animals. They need to be among their own kind or they find life with their own kind strange to them.

King Kong reference !

awwww

When I was younger I said I love you in sign language and he did it back then put his hand on the glass. All was good until boys came near me, and he hit the glass infront of them and sadly walked off.

I didn't realize they rehomed him. I left the area after they had tried to introduce females after Hercules passed away and he kept beating them up. Patrick especially loves women with painted toenails. Don't know why but he always got very interested if you showed him your toes at the viewing window lol.

I didn't know Pete Carrol was a zookeeper

His jimmies were rustled

It would make more sense if this story was in the Detroit Zoo
