Must Watch!! Silverback Gorilla Showing Off & Following My Wife at the Omaha Zoo

This video is actually combined but were all shot in sequence with only moments in between. From the moment we arrived at the zoo these two bachelor Silverbacks had been vying for our (my wife's) attention. Following her from window to window for hours, slapping, bumping, and playfully kicking at the windows. Sometimes even the occasional chest beat and charge. This was just a short bit of the hours we watched and played.

[@RoselBenham]

She is definitely following him! Looks like he is trying to avoid her, not the other way around.

[@taylor1212eminem]

Exactly, another case of I'm special for no reason. It's creepy cringe

[@patrooney2283]

[@captainflint9138]

For someone so obsessed by gorillas you really know nothing about their body language. No the gorilla is not trying to get your attention when he beats his chest or smacks the window that is a warning because he is feeling threatened, so stop bothering the gorilla you strange woman.

[@novawalrus2273]

@Eric Redder Uh Captain Flint is telling the truth. You wouldn’t wanna chest beat or show your teeth they do show aggression towards the gorillas and they feel threatened. In this video she’s showing her teeth, it’s not surprising why the gorilla keeps banging on the damn window.

[@pepperann5766]

You guys are right! She is following that poor Gorilla, and she is actually freaking him out stalking around him like that. He's angry. I have no clue why the husband keeps directing her to do this and that. Or why he thinks the Silverback is interested in his wife. Silverback is visually ticked, and has no where to get away from her. The few times he did look in the window was in hopes that she had left. I imagine if one of the keepers were to catch all her action she and her troubled husband would be asked to leave before the valued Primate hurt himself. This is getting me upset, I can't watch this Animal abuse anymore, I further can't understand why no one at all didn't speak up for the Silverback. I also believe at the beginning of the video when the Gorilla saw he couldn't get away from her, and he gave her the leg up action? I feel he had something in mind like, "Piss off you psycho" Also later when he runs by and punches the window hard? I really think he's envisioning himself punching her in the head, and thinking she would be smart enough to understand that his punch meant, LEAVE ME THE HECK ALONE!!! And then? reality sets in for the Silverback... ""Ohh come on she can't be that dense!! Ok she is. One more really hard loud punch, that should scare her off, it always works on Herman"" ""Oh Dear God, Nooooo, yet she stands with arms bent, eyes in dead stare☠️ at me!!! My time is running out, her nostrils are flaring. "" ""YOU there little human in the corner, quick please dial 911 I'm in fear for my life!! I think the crazy in my face female is about to break out of her glass cage, oh help, Mama""

[@iamthevapingqueen9960]

Humans always think they know what a animal is thinking. That silverback gorilla is reacting to this woman's looking him straight in the eye. That is a challenge to a gorilla, especially a silverback. You need to look down instead of looking at them in the face. You can do sideways glances to see if they are interested, that will not make them mad. But when a silverback charges you and slaps something before charging away from you, it means you are pissing them off and you need to cut whatever it was that you were doing out. A gorilla has hit and broken the glass in their enclosure before. No one was hurt but it bears repeating, be respectful when looking at a gorilla. .

[@keithbannister5283]

at 5:35 The husband tells her "go to the end of the window" At 5:43 the husband says "he is slowly following you". The gorilla sits down and does not follow at all. Husband instructs "go sit next to him". Yeah, the gorilla is so interested that when he doesn't follow you go sit next to him...just keep forcing yourself on him when he ignores you. The gorilla needs a restraining order from all of the stalking and fucking harassment

[@peggyhill7283]

Keith Bannister..... I agree with you. Her husband is a creep. Notice comments he makes? In another video he is tells someone this gorilla is in love with his wife, then when the gorilla appears to sit next to her, the husband then says, " now he's making out with her," & laughs. I believe he thinks she is soo irresistible to man AND beast. While they are getting their kicks, this poor Gorilla is being tormented! BTW, I hope these two DO NOT have daughters.

That Silverback had never seen an albino gorilla before

[@sargondp69]

Actually, she was intimidating and challenging him by walking around his territory with a dominate posture and gaze. They did not see her as a mate (they cannot smell her) but as an invader with some followers too. He wanted her to go away and leave his clan alone. I doubt he would have hurt her in the wild, just show her that he is the boss. Without the glass in the wild she would not have been so bold

[@user-wu4bo1hz3p]

That's incorrect. He is competing for her with the other gorilla, or at the very least displaying alpha male dominance with respect to his connection with her and ownership of her attention. It's very obvious if you watch the body language of all parties.

[@user-wu4bo1hz3p]

Nope - you are too busy looking at the trees and missing the forest. He positions himself between her and the other gorilla, displays masculine gestures to capture her attention, and even acts SUBMISSIVELY toward her...approaching her in a round-about way with relaxed body language. He is not remotely threatened by her. If you notice, the other gorilla actually takes a swat at him - they are so clearly competing for her attention that it's undeniable - probably mostly a game they play since they're not in the wild.

Her blonde hair is tied up in a pony tail on top of her head. To the gorilla this looks just like the crest on a male gorilla's head. So, the gorilla likely thinks she is another male gorilla who is following him around and challenging him by staring at him and standing upright. And he is reacting to that challenge.

Gorilla Attack on visitor of Dutch zoo Bokito made headlines on May 18, 2007 (on the day of the zoo's 150th anniversary) when he escaped from his enclosure. He dragged a visitor, who was seriously injured. The woman had several fractures, a shattered hand, and over a hundred bites all over her body. The woman thought she had a special relationship with the monkey, so she visited him four days a week and made frequent eye contact with him. This staring probably led to the attack. From the hospital, according to a message in the Telegraaf, the woman reported: "He is and will remain my favorite. I have made contact with him since he was in Blijdorp. When I put my hand on the glass, he did the same. When I went to him laughed, he smiled back ". A babysitter from Blijdorp had warned the woman a few days before the attack and asked them to keep their distance and not to look the monkey directly in the eye, according to a report in the Algemeen Dagblad. The woman nevertheless held the zoo liable for the damage suffered.

[@ramonuhhorsedink8350]

I understand humans have limited comprehension skills when it comes to animals, ironically apes in particular (or primates of any kind), but it's pretty clear this gorilla isn't just "showing off". If there wasn't the glass there to protect you, that gorilla would've put you in your place in a hurry. He's an alpha for a reason. That wasn't playful behavior; that was a "Go away, you're bothering me" behavior. I don't suggest you two ever go to see gorillas in the wild. You probably wouldn't survive the encounter. They don't like eye contact and following them suggests to them you're interested in conflict. Seeing as they have the strength of at least 6 humans, it's best not to agitate them.

Look at people coming in contact with Gorillas in the wild and they never get attacked, they might pull you by your cloths or bluff charge but they won't hurt you unless you're hurting them. That's why Gorillas are called gentle giants. Now chimps are completely the opposite they will tear you apart in a second, they're extremely violent. I don't think i even ever heard of someone being killed or badly hurt by a Gorilla.

Lela Dailey The Gorilla wasn't trying to hurt the kid, he was just panicked because of all the people screaming and yelling. If Harambe wanted to hurt that kid he could of done it any time but he didn't, he did drag him thru the water to get away from the people screaming but it's same way as Gorillas treat their young in the wild if you look at nature videos. In 1986 there was a kid that fell into a Gorilla enclosure and the Gorilla picked him up very gently and took him to the enclosure door where the rescue could get to him. Then again in 1996 a kid fell in and again a Gorilla stood by him protecting him from others and stroking his back gently while waiting for rescue. Gorillas are very intelligent, if they know you're not a threat they will not hurt you. Just look at Koko the Gorilla, she is unbelievably smart, look how gently she treats little kittens the she cares for. They're amazing gentle and very intelligent giants, even Gorilla experts will tell you that gorillas will do anything to avoid a violent encounters.

Cleary he's saying to her, "This is not Hollywood. I don't like you. I'm not King Kong."

[@JMARTIN1947]

It would start with drinks and soon she’d be telling the silverback that her husband is no longer interested in her. She feels lonely. The silverback would take her to his enclosure at the zoo. A week later, the silverback would stop answering her phone calls.

[@annblakney9731]

Just more disrespect from ignorant ppl..he is majestic..wow

[@SashaForGod]

Hes beautiful and didn't deserve this from these 2 idiots

[@JenniferGulizio]

Okay this is priceless ❤❤ She's not teasing him at all the gorilla seems fond of her. Maybe its the color of her hair but it's very sweet ❤

[@TheSageisBack]

He doesn't give a shit about her blond hair. The European woman who thought another silverback was "fond" of her had blond hair; staring at them reads as "challenge", and so when the opportunity presented itself, he escaped his enclosure and attacked her... he went looking specifically for her. Let's just say word on the zoo streets was that limbs were broken and bitten MANY times, and they weren't the gorilla's.

[@rosesheavenlylove2853]

So mean to see these animals gaged, hope your enjoying it.

Classic example of humans tormenting a animals...

[@DJKEVINEBADD]

He is confusing his wife for another Silverback ... cause she's built like one......lol

[@davywavybish3483]

he was warning the other silver back to stay away

[@waterswatets1416]

He likes her so sweet

[@evocative01]

I bet that gorillas thinking "shes been watching me all morning. shes been jumping at the glass all morning. Shes definitely following me, the one with the blonde hair. shes definitely impressed by my running and leg kicks. Shes watching me. 10 bucks sais she wants me to do it again up here at the next window again."

[@paulagwhyte1720]

She IS leading him on....and they wouldn't be laughing if he got through that glass! It's happened.

[@ABN6565]

he pimping his wife out to a GO rilla. LMAO

[@DJSCRMNGHST]

Damn I didn't know everyone in the comment section are silverback experts🤔😂

[@beccatee66]

I think you meant say that she followed him around?

[@samcarrasco2358]

so who's the gorrilla?😂😂😂😂

[@dajiban9325]

he runs from her😆

[@nahavandi89]

Oh you mean that the gorilla is your rival?? 😂😂 thanks 4 posting btw 😂😂

[@AmyCCloverlanez]

very cool video!! funny when he kept putting his leg up lool

[@missnlos1]

Another misleading bait caption. Perhaps he was trying to get away from her. She's the one following him for the most part. A mere few moments of interest... 10 minutes of boring

[@thatkiwi00]

I had the same thing a year ago! I was at a zoo with 5 silverbacks, and the youngest of them was following me non stop! A few months later he recognized me again and he was showing off on me😍 It’s kinda cute, but you can say we are best friends now😅

[@edwardwright2989]

Hahahhhhhahhhahhhhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahha...ok.

[@fec9496]

❤

[@slaydog5102]

Sure, delusional.

[@TheAp0phis]

Bokita and this Lady had a special bond, because apparently she thought that when she smiled at the Gorilla it smiled back, until an incident where he escaped grabbed her by her feet dragged her ass around quite a distance, and sunk his teeth into her a few times, she had many fractures. So no that so called special bond "Smile" ended up pretty shit for that Lady

[@cherylmahaffey6184]

He is spraying the bricks. Marking his territory. He is in Love.

[@pattiharrild212]

This kills me! Why can't they just have one way glass? People can see them in their imatated invorment, and doesn't distress them...they want to eat you!

[@SuperKinahead]

They are herbivores u fkn moron

[@pjdougherty6442]

Gorillaz aren’t carnivorous to my knowledge. They mostly eat fruits and vegetables. However, they are territorial and violent towards those they see as challenging them, and challenging them could be as simple as making eye contact. They hate eye contact. Knowing that, it’s a wonder why they don’t have one way glass, guests must be pissing them off every day.

[@symphytumtribe1582]

Dang stop following him around.. poor animal. She is an idiot. He hit window because she is standing aggressively toward him . She thinks she can usurp this animal and make it all about her and her stupid husband. Seriously I feel sick watching this level of egotistical intent. Ridiculous. Worthless.

[@grandparolie]

Thanks for sharing! 💯👍🏼😊

[@kellymchugh1101]

This is truly SO AMAZING TO WATCH 🙏🌏❤️❤️

[@Bob-it4sm]

daaamn amanda, you are getting hilariously rekt in the comments

[@larita1472]

TAN HERMOSOS LOS EJEMPLARES. SI ELLA NO SE PUSIERA EN ESA POSICIÓN COMO RETADORA....ÉL ACTUARÍA DIFERENTE. LO SÉ XQ SIEMPRE LOS HE ADMIRADO Y HAY QUE ESTAR FRENTE A ELLOS EN ESTADO DE SUMISIÓN. MUY HERMOSOS....OJALÁ TENGAN UNA PRÓXIMA OPORTUNIDAD Y SE ACUERDEN DE ESTE DETALLE.

[@pheebs818]

This is awesome, thanks for sharing

[@Pale_7567]

Yeah for gorilla culture, intense eye contact with the silverback is a challenge to his authority Averting one’s gaze from the silverback is seen as a sign of respect

[@AbbieJolie]

OH to be telepathic!
