[@carlabunn1134]

I am in awe. The best of our athletes and ballerinas have nothing on an every day gorilla. Look at the musculature, the grace with which he moves, always keenly aware of his surroundings, and where his body is in space. Just awesome.

[@ChessmindedThinker]

Lets not all get carried away, our friend couldnt ice skate, break dance, do gymnastics, play football, rugby, ballet dance, follow any chorography. He can simply spin around in a pool and you can add music in later to fit his moves lol

[@carlabunn1134]

@@ChessmindedThinker you missed the point. Human athletes learn, study and practice in order to achieve their amazing feats. This Gorilla does this quite easily with abandon. No training, no watching himself over and over on video in order to observe his movements and make corrections or improvements. I am a former ballet teacher and I assure you,not one untrained student stepped into the studio with the ability to perform. If you are not amazed, you must not have ever trained to achieve a physical feat.

[@ChessmindedThinker]

@@carlabunn1134 Its not comparable to elite humans that train, study and learn, you are right about this. Its more like, well exactly what it is - an untrained gorilla spinning around, splashing water, then getting dizzy with music added afterwards.

I don’t know if this guy is a rescue gorilla Or not, But if not, he would be so much happier dancing in the waters of the land he was meant to live out his life, with the group of gorillas he was meant for.

[@cattymajiv]

@@laborincana4490 It is a girl. In this clip she is too far away and moving far too fast to see the coloring properly. But gorrillas vary widely in body shape and color, even among immediate families, never mind between types of gorrilla, so to try to judge a fast moving animal from a distance is just dumb. Many times I've mistaken females for male, because of the head shape. But only when we get a still shot of a very mature male can we be absolutely sure. There is a fairly mature male I see a lot on KZbin who has the same dumpiness of a female, and I often don't even recognize him, because he is so dumpy and awkward. Like us, they come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. People who come in here, posing as experts after watching a few videos are idiots. Whatever makes them think they have the knowledge or the right to impose their faulty knowledge on everyone, even on the people who live in that city, and know that gorrilla. The arrogance and stupidity of the average KZbinr is just astounding!
