The big Silverback looked like it was right out of horror movie...

LOVE IT!!!

This was absolutely amazing. Bruiser and I watched it together and would have loved to be the man sitting there. Just watching the interaction of the babies especially with the man, and the silverback overseeing and being the "Dad". Thanks for posting this JerBear!! :clap:

I would love to trade places with him. As BB will attest to, we are both animal lovers. She with her favorites, Polar Bears, dolphins and whales, me with my big cats, apes and snakes. Gorillas are social animals, if you notice though, the man made no eye contact with the silver back, that is a sign of respect. Had he made eye contact that woud have been a challenge to the big guy. The young apes were curious about the human and wanted to get his scent, see what group he was from. A learning experience for them. Thanks for the video Bro, I'll have to watch it again.

Ask BB about the time I was petting the black leopard at a zoo in England.

:yikes: I would not want to be anywhere NEAR that chair or path when those big boys came 'a-calling! :yikes:

The guy did do the right thing though :thumbup: He kept his head down and avoided any and all eye contact with them! :2thumbs:

That was quite a video. Okay to watch, but I know I would not have the composure to remain that calm and actually enjoy the experience.

Thank you for sharing the video. :thumbup:

I can tell you this; had I been in that chair, they never could have caught me when I jumped and ran... the footing behind me would have been too... slippery! :roflblack:

I've been really close to the Rock of Gibraltar monkeys, who are not shy in the least. If you don't give them treats fast enough they will come up to you and start going through your pockets. Guess I got too close to a mother and her baby and was chased for a while by other monkeys. The video of it was pretty funny to watch, but it wasn't funny at the time. They are very strong. No way I could sit there like in the video.

I would most likely have died of heart failure.

(Bruiser) - Ask BB about the time I was petting the black leopard at a zoo in England.

We were at an animal reserve in England and there were many different animals there. It was rather open, as far as being able to get close to some of the animals. As we stood and watched the big cats, Bruiser couldn't stand it any longer and started petting the leopard. He still has all fingers, toes, and no chunks were taken out of him. The leopard actually enjoyed it and was purring. What a sound to hear!!

 

[Bob Denman]

Are you sure that it was the Leopard?
It might have been Bruiser's heart trying to make a break for the hills! :yikes:
