Yeah but as soon as that Gorilla gets fed up with those geese and no longer fears them they will end up as confetty 😂. You can be the biggest dickhead in the world with a shit ton of attitude but if you are physically imcomparable to another animal you are getting destroyed as soon as that animal decides to deal with you. Like for example you can be the biggest, strongest and fastest fighter this world has ever seen and destroy every other champ easily but as soon as you try to beat up a Silverback you are getting ripped in half.

If wild animals have to be in zoos THIS is the kind of expansive, large, and natural enclosure they should be housed in.

I agree, but I still think it is too small. They make sure that they are always close to the glass so the public can see them. I think they need to be allowed private spaces as well.

Mosquitoes and other blood sucking animals too. Should be extinct. They don't exist for any other reason than to make everybody else miserable.

[@adrunkgorillawithalobotomy353]

They are just super territorial and protective, that's all......since so many other animals are bigger than they are, they have to constantly be on the defense. Maybe the geese had eggs in the area Barney was trying to pass through. They never know what animals are going to do, so their best offense is a good defense. They're hardly the only animals to behave that way. Bears behave that way. Gorillas CAN behave that way if they feel threatened. Humans definitely behave that way. Why are we any better? We kill and threaten our own kind all the time, as well as other animals. Why do we get a pass for it?

[@jimzorn3853]

See how the goose continuously bows his head? That's how they "acknowledge" each other. He's trying to show that he "acknowledges" the gorilla. Try it some time. If you see a goose, bow your head to him, and he just may bow back.

I don't want Barney to accidentally kill one of the geese while toying around with them.
