The Urban Gorilla - Child falls into gorilla pit at zoo

[@ValensBellator]

It's really interesting, the Silverback sort of pets him in a comforting, gentle kind of way, protects him from the other curious gorillas, and keeps looking at the enclosure entrance as if waiting for people to show up. Really demonstrated remarkable intelligence there.

I love how the Gorilla stood between the child and the other gorilla who was looking at the little boy. As if to say "hey, step back... I've got this under control here""... Then when he started crying the Gorilla knew he was scaring the little boy and went away so he wouldn't be afraid but still continued to watch him till rescuers got to him. Absolutely beautiful...

​​​@@torriebrown9607 no, wtf is wrong with people! Did you not watch the video! Some people can be so damn stupid. The gorrila rubbed the kids back gently, but the kids was knocked the fuk out at the time, when he started waking up the kid started crying the gorrila ran off, the kids was in pain maybe he was scared but it wasn't because the fu kimg gorilla that he didn't even see it was because he was in pain not realizing what is going on. Seriously use your fuxking brain, stop making this shit to be more whimsical than it is

[@idget76]

I saw Ivan YEARS ago when he was at the B&I in Tacoma. He had every reason to be cranky and sullen while living in such a small space, but he never was. He was always happy to see the kids at the windows. He would interact with them frequently. I saw this video when this incident first happened, and was struck by how kind the gorilla was, but at the time, I wasn't aware that it was Ivan. Now that I know it was him, I'm not surprised by his reaction at all. Such a noble creature

What you want is kind of clear and understandable in that situation. The 'you' part is the arguable part. 'you' failed as a parent to let that child fall. After that you want things but you just failed. Because of your stupidity an innocent soul has to die. Yes, you want the gorilla to die, but on the other hand if the parent is not a selfish fk he or she would want to die if the mistake can be solved that way. Because your mistake cost innocent lives.

[@ke1399]

I'm sure the parent was ready to jump in but was told not to. That could easily make things worse. Gorillas seems to have a deep compassion for babies and the young. There are videos of organutangs and gorillas smiling and pointing to a mother holding a baby close to the glass. There is some sort of awareness when you are around them that they also are self conscious beings with deep compassion. Very fascinating. Breaks my heart man has hunted them to near extinction.

[@fredkay6743]

Because of instinct. With a crying infant, the mother would not be far away and he knows what will happen if he is caught between her and the infant. Its the same with most animals.

+Dave Seavy Not just that, but on a genetic level gorillas and humans are very closely related. In fact, the same can be said for all primates. We all generally have a very similar social structure and are very sensitive and social animals (after all, humans generally have difficulty coping with being completely alone and cut off from contact with other humans for extended periods of time). As long as they don't interpret a human's presence as a *threat* it would be very unlikely that they would intentionally hurt a human, particularly a young human who was injured and unconscious.

I watched this video after learning about the incident that happened at the Cincinnati zoo. I have to say my heart is broken and I've been bawling my eyes out. Wild animals have more compassion than we realize and this video and the incident which occurred recently is proof of that. I am not aware of what happened in this particular video, but what I do know is that what happened at the Cincinnati zoo could have completely been prevented. After reading numerous reports of witnesses, it is evident that the boys mother failed to properly watch her son. Her son had made it clear that he wanted to go to the moat and his mother simply said no and paid no more attention to him. The boy then went through shrubs and climbed a barrier only to fall into the moat. This is clearly a rambunctious child with no discipline. There are many 4 year olds who are disciplined and/or supervised better. Harambe was clearly trying to protect this child and the crowd only made the situation worse.

Is it so hard to believe that these gentle giants have far more intelligence than we realised? That he could see the child was hurt and protected it? As much as we say 'they don't belong in cages' it is truly the last safe place left for these great creatures. They are driven out of their homes by greedy logging companies, but at least here people can learn about them, see how similar we are to them, understand them, and, as shown here, see firsthand how much like us they really are. It acted as we would when we saw a hurt child. It stood by it until help arrived. Alpha male silverbacks only attack when they or their family group is in danger. He could sense the child was no threat, hence why the screaming did not make him nervous. They are remarkable creatures the great apes. They show us as much about ourselves as they do them.

[@Whoami691]

jayden killingexp I wouldn't go that far. They are as smart as a human child, but dolphins seem to undertand us more and improvise. For example, there is a vod on youtube of a dolphin with a fishing hook stuck in its fin. It saw a diver and knowing that humans have hands, it swam over to the diver so he could remove the hook. They are also aware of other species being in peril, they have been known to save us from sharks and rescue drowning humans. I think dolphins are just as smart as us. There body to brain size ratio is about the same as our, the great apes have it slightly smaller, but they seem to lack the little difference that makes the big difference. If gorillas are just as smart as us, what is holding them back? Dolphins lack opposable thumbs and the ability to create things we take for granted here on land - EG fire. That means they cannot evolve technologically as we have, but they have proven they have the intelligence to think creatively.

VanillaSnake21 Like I said, they're probably familiar with humans, they would probably notice the kid looks extremely similar to one of their own, but they're very intelligent and mainly use their eyes to see, they can easily differentiate a threat to a kid in pain, Gorillas are peaceful and don't try to attack unless provoked.

[@hamzahalal7141]

nah he knew his not a gorilla!! he has been dealing with humans and kids for a long time!! unless his a retarted gorilla!! animals love humans not all but many just as many humans love animals, for example fools like you think a dog is a mans best friend!! well not true at all, dogs are loyal because u feed and shelter them, many dogs would not attack someone killing their owner, your dog would not do shit!!! but dolphins who barley interact with us we don't feed or shelter them, they risk their lives for humans many times end up dead rescuing humans if a pregnate woman was amongst a group of humans drowning they would rescue her first they can tell shes carrying a baby, dolphins are smarter then dogs nd much closer to us humans, we don't need to feed them and bribe them with treats for them to help us. I just wanna say to all people who say they hate humans and love animals FUCK YOU your a sick retarted human!!! there are over a billion amazing great super human people who love life and other living things, and no HUMANS ARE NOT A DESEASE people like you are

[@VanillaSnake21]

GoodGuyDom11 you can't compare Koko to gorillas living in the zoo. Do you know how many years of daily training it took for her to use sign? Gorillas are not stupid at all, but instict still takes effect. In a study baby chimps took a big furry doll as their mother and climbed on the back for help. It's evident they're very intelligent because they understood that something was wrong with this creature. I don't think they can readily identify a human especially a small one curled up in a ball. Evolution doesn't let him attack since then he might attack an albino hairless baby gorillas that are sometimes born and in general any gorilla that looks weird. Wiping out his own population. Hence he was careful with him.

[@WALTKRIEG]

VanillaSnake21 Take care, the chimps are really dangerous animals. The baby chimps are funny, but when they become adult they become killers who possess super human physical power.

[@bostoncityofchampions6581]

Gorilla took better care of the kid than his parents did.

Thank You , Jambo.

Animal cruelty breaks my heart 💔 we have a responsibility to leave them and their habitat alone before it’s too late...

+Ellena P Kavarera the moment you find out it's humans that have copyed other animals in countless things like flying,living in a pack that is the same as a normadic family

[@ellenakavarera1565]

lol

[@mrolliepoper]

Ellena P Kavarera as a society, we are FAR from human. Our instincts are to love one another, with out greed. Though many events have set us so far from REAL humanity. Evil has disguised itself as good, and many are following.

Hi! You are very beautiful

1:28 Gorilla looking back: *"You good bro?"*

[@juice360]

everyone here was so calm and quite. in the other video, the crowd was all screaming and shit, they made the gorilla panic and it started dragging the kid around

[@spoda81]

I remember when this happened everyone one freaking out worried the gorilla was going to hurt that little boy, I knew the instant he walked over and quietly sat down he was NOT going to hurt him that he was just as worried as the boy.

[@battleroyale1760]

So u r there when this happened

[@T.Q.]

Those poor Gorillas. The only animals I see in this video are the humans.

[@wotsgonon1]

im ashamed of being human

[@shipperland8816]

the exaggeration level is incredible

[@blessed5182]

you are right!

[@wotsgonon1]

+Dolly Harrabi I think ppl who hurt animals will come back as an animal been tortured and so on,a never ending cycle until ppl wise up:)

[@heuvelke1065]

+gerry german im not , because i am not like them

[@avamyst70]

The difference between this incident and the one in Cincinnati is the people were not SCREAMING from above. I believe that is what spooked Harambe, and he was trying to help the child but was spooked and confused with the noise.

[@benymmjohanson1267]

The Czech state likes your videos.

[@Mari-tn6fn]

I love gorillas, so gentle, kind. Humans on the other hand...not so much

[@LurkerDood]

LOL What is that guy going to do with the stick?

[@Closeoutracer]

Trying and look bigger and meaner than he is. George Washington won alot of battles with "the bluff"... Regardless he had the stones to put himself in harms way for that child,and that's man enough.

[@ozopozo3717]

Could be a stick that produces electric shocks - they had this stuff on pig farms in the 70's

[@boston6290]

[@teaexposedtv5445]

to me looks like the grorilla was tryna see if he was alive and was checking on him

[@kpkp1993kp]

classic example of a world moving backwards

[@tapa5602]

Yes thanks for commenting on a video where people are still falling into f ing gorrilla pits!!!!!!!! This time the gorrilla went back when called the other wouldnt and probably should learn that before spreading your lack of knoledge.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Stunned that the dad didn’t go in after him. Leaves his son lying there. A male zoo attendant and a paramedic jumped into the enclosure from the wall, unaided. If that had been my child, I would’ve been the first one over that wall.

[@ATATURKdusmanlarininAMK_NJ]

Yea i know

[@pollachannel2804]

Jumping into the pit would just make the situation worse. They don't see the child as a threat, so they don't attack him. You jumping in there would just make them angry, and probably get you injured, if not killed.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Polla Channel You’re probably right, but it just would’ve been my instinct.

[@thecrazyyoutuber1454]

Gorillas are my favourite animals

[@jonzgurl4ever]

Harambe at the cincinnati zoo was murdered today because a stupid parent let their 3 year old fall into the enclosure......R.I.P Harambe

[@tracepage7578]

I am 100% convinced Harambe wouldn't have hurt that kid, looking at the video,the report even says witnesses say he looked like he was trying to protect the kid. I really hope the "adult" in charge of that kid can live with themselves. I agree R.I.P. Harambe.

[@KitKatToeBeans]

+Trace Page I agree completely. This is beyond tragic. I have to ask why were there no tranquilizers to use instead? I'm so angry that once again human stupidity kills a beautiful creature.

[@DragonOfTheWest_I]

see he was protecting the kid RIP Harambe so sad

[@krys421]

+Mara Santiago Dragging a kid around for 10 minutes and slapping him in water is not protection.

[@DragonOfTheWest_I]

u all right but intention to kill the kid not

that was a good animal he shot the fuck away from the boy when he started crying

[@hannahdyson7129]

Its better tha shooting them . There were people armed and prepared to step in should things have turned nasty . Would you have rather they shot the young male ?

[@Jazziijemish]

I'm here because of the recent video where they killed the critically endangered silverback because a kid fell in the pit. The gorilla looked like it was calm but I guess you never know.

[@eeveecloud9849]

Same I know it's dangerous for a kid but I think the gorillas are close to humans all the time at the zoo there can be a small chance it could kill it

[@enflaskpost]

+Amzingred I fully agree what you just wrote though I am amazed how fucking bad the security for example i thiis video are.. There isnt even fences? Its a low fucking wall who anyone can climb up on and fall into the pit. I dont know if its normal for Americans to be so stupid, cuz here in Sweden and other places ive been to, they atleast have some Iq left to know that you cant just have a small wall. Ty.

[@Amzingred]

i agree on americans just being stupid in general, but this video doesn't show exactly how the exhibit is presented as far as the fence and structure that keeps people at bay,

[@metazoxan2]

Aneisha Barrett Human life is more valuable. Even though Gorillas are smart they don't have the same self awareness and consciousness we do. Humans are actually different from other creatures on Earth is more ways than just our IQ level. Meaning it's not arrogant to put ourselves above animals or say we are different from them. It's a legitimate fact. However I will say although I do view humans as higher I still don't approve of animal cruelty because there is no need to just torture animals for no reason.

[@Jazziijemish]

+Aly R I agree with the fact that zoos shouldn't be a thing, but I think we both know that isn't gonna happen anytime soon.

[@paddington1670]
