2. Wow! At 2:45 when the silverback tells the baby to

stop messing with the weird animal (the human) it's wonderful

3. "Don't touch that, junior -- you don't know where it's been!"

"How strange -- now I smell urine, but none of us are peeing!"

5. What an incredible video!

I, too, liked the part where the silverback tells the juvenile to stop - it was very much like "put away your toys and come eat".

6. That was AWESOME!!! I think I enjoyed the man's reactions as much as the gorillas!

That was pure joy and amazement on his face!!!

8. making a connection with wild animals is an incredible privilege

I've experienced it twice in my life, once with a flock of birds that are usually very skittish. And once with a herd of about 20+ wild horses running towards me. It was exhilarating. And humbling. I felt so honored that they trusted me (and in the instance with the wild horses, I also trusted them not to hurt me).

This is a lovely video. Thanks for sharing it with us.

9. Favorite comment: "And that's the story of how I contracted ebola." or...

"show me on this doll where that wild mountain gorilla touched you."

10. Amazing how the tourist

wasn't mistaken for a rival silverback himself with his black shirt and silver hair.

11. I think the other guy said something like that

You can hear him say something about the black shirt and grey hair made them think he was a relative.

I wonder if dad gorilla took the family on a little outing to see some humans, he had to know that there were going to be tourists in that area, heck it's a "hiking path" or something.

Dad: "you see son they are mostly harmless, but don't get too close"
Mom: (as she sticks out her tongue) "I wonder what they taste like?"
