Binti was amazing. I remember seeing that on the news. Not only did Binti cradle the child until help came, while all the other gorillas were becoming agitated, a male gorilla there seemed to take a cue from Binti, and accompanied her while she took the child to the door to get help, guaranteeing their safety. It was pretty amazing, and really quite a village.

I had the privilege of watching a gorilla give birth one time. I had friends who were zoologists at the zoo I was visiting. While we were chatting they got word that one of the lady gorillas was in labor. We rushed to the gorilla habitat observance room (not open to the public) and watched as she gave birth to her first baby. Once the baby was delivered, she picked it up so carefully and cleaned it up gently examining every part of her new baby. When she was sure that lil one was perfect, she began to nurse it and you could hear everyone watching breathe again! Years and years later, I visited the zoo where that baby was now a Silverback and a father and grandfather to many more gorillas. I was able to talk to one of his "staff" or as they called themselves his "servants"... LOL!!! He is a very hands on father and a big goof with his human servants. Since seeing him born, I have become an amateur genealogist of the gorillas in American zoos. I can tell you how most of the gorillas are related.

[@Reptile_Gecko]

ha, the servants part reminds me of a Gordon Ramsay video were he visited a woman working at a zoo whose job it was to prepare food for a lot of different herbivores, one being a gorilla who got a bottle of tea.. I think fruit tea, so not bad for him, but man he was one spoilt healthy gorilla.

My brother, Grandparents and I visited Cincinnati Zoo probably two years before Harambe went down. When I looked at the enclosure that the gorillas were in, I was rather dismayed by how small it actually was and how narrow the moat was. There were 9 gorillas at the time, including another male besides Harambe. My brother actually said "This is an accident waiting to happen, an angry gorilla could easily jump that moat." When the news broke, he said "I told you!" and went on a RANT about how people don't respect the animals and how they're lucky the kid wasn't hurt, etc.

@@Burning_Dwarf It isn't, Tarzan was raised by a fictional species of great apes, this fictional species had intelligence higher than any known great ape and had their own hierarchy different than Gorillas. With all that being said this does prove that the author of Tarzan chose the right kind of ape to base his creation on as Gorillas are (awesome) badass gentle giants who prefer to intimidate rather than scruff if they can avoid fights and occasionally help others out. Tarzan himself was unique from humans in some aspects, for one he was incredibly resistant to diseases, and due to his constant fight for survival and general way of life (using every single aspect of his body to fight and maneuver) his body was alot stronger, agile and tougher than most humans and he could commune with animals. People also underestimate how clever Tarzan was, he knew the lay of the land better than hunters and poachers and would use the terrain to his advantage.

[@connergibson5930]

@@cgecko3 to be fair if I had just now watched the movie/read the book you could have said gorilla and I'd have believed it, and communicating with the apes isn't really far fetched, we have a ridiculous amount of common infancy behaviours and mannerisms that most great apes (us included) share, so if tarzan had been raised from that young an age then I can easily see that communication happening (not so much the talking to people bit though, and the disease resistance is kind of far from the realm of probability, but not impossible)

You can hate the kid, you can hate the kid's family, you can hate the zoo, but in the end the fact remains that the zoo chose the option that would cause the least amount of problems. The situation could've been much worse, especially for a situation that was caused by human ignorance and stupidity.

Exactly. No human, especially zoo keeper, is going to make the decision to kill a threatened or endangered species (or really any animal) lightly. I'm sure it's not something they wanted to have to do either. Another thing is, sedatives don't always work. Those darts don't always release the medication. Sometimes it's not enough, or it can be too much, and often times, it takes a long time to start taking effect. 20 to 40mins, waiting for a sedative to work sometimes can definitely be the difference between life or death, even 5 or 10mins, and he's right, it passes them off to get darted. I'd be mad too! But regardless, human lives always have to come first. It makes me sad to even think about it tho. Harambe didn't understand, he was scared, just minding his business at home, then bam! Some kid falls from the sky and you're dead minutes later. It sucks...

One day Bokito decided he had enough and jumped the moat around his enclosure and escaped. He ignored everyone in the park except the woman who taunted him.

When you think about how many people go into a zoo daily? it is more inevitable this stuff happens.

Apes and Monkeys are scary creatures, but it doesn't mean they aren't also sweet at times. It varies a lot on the type but the two are not mutually exclusive. Its why stuff like this can end up so tragic, since there is a need to treat them as dangerous but also a need to remember they often dont understand what they are doing wrong.

Great commentary on that first clip! This is the first I’ve seen of your channel and I’m very impressed with how well you thought the situation through and were exactly right. Also that it pissed you off. Throughout the rest of the video you clearly know what you are talking about instead of filling in with guesses and wrong info, which I come across so often. As a long time student of animal behavior, you have my respect. Things like the slow blink, just for starters. Subscribed!

[@jessragan6714]

The most frustrating zoo story I've heard was when a little kid decided to get up close and personal with meerkats, thinking that they were Nathan Lane because of that Disney movie and that the worst they could do to her was be sassy and sarcastic. She got bitten, and the entire pack of meerkats in the exhibit were put down because her parents wouldn't consent to giving her a rabies shot.

[@mosterchife6045]

Wait, why put the meerkats down because the kid didn't take a rabies shot?

[@Veladus]

@@mosterchife6045 Because the only way to be sure an animal doesn't have rabies is to examine its brain. From the inside.

[@RoulicisThe]

@@mosterchife6045 Basically, the child wasn't vaccinated, thus could've been carrying rabbies. When bitten, that would've been a possible contamination to the meerkat who got blood in it's mouth, and then would've spread it to the rest of the pack by social grooming. Thus, since it was "possible" that the child brought them rabbies, the only option left was to euthanize all of them. Just because some asshole parents didn't bother protecting their own child from a deadly disease.

[@Veladus]

@Gi Gi It's not quite as bad as it's made out to be. Rabies shots are notorious. We're not talking about a minor little needle in the arm like a covid shot. It's a massive series of massive injections into a sensitive area. Grown men, tough guys even, have described it as torture. And we're talking about doing it to a little kid that just endured being mauled by a pack of meerkats. Just putting trauma on top of her trauma. I'm not a parent, and I can't imagine having to make that choice, but I can't say I'd have chosen the lives of the meerkats that just mauled my kid over saving her from torture level pain. There's a reason it's pretty common to catch and kill a wild animal that attacked someone over just giving them the rabies shot.

Although visitors passing by warned the kid of the danger, he continued, as his incredibly idiotic father was incentivizing him. Eventually....the tiger caught him. He lived, but his arm had to be amputated. The dad got some jail time, but not too much as he didn't had any prior criminal convictions. Which always makes me think: During all these cases where a kid enters in contact with a dangerous animal...where the hell were the parents?

This reminds me of a guy I met when I was working in a reptile center. Some idiot in his mid-40, drunk at 10 a.m on a saturday. He came with his brother (also completely smashed) and his 13 y.o daughter who apparently loved reptiles, but couldn't enjoy the visit due to her father behaving like an overgrown spoiled toddler. Since that idiot had tried to jump in an ostrich enclosure to ride one just before he even entered the reptile center, I was kinda worried he'd do something incredibly stupid, so I kept following them around, answering the girl's questions along the way the best I could, since her father was constantly interrupting any conversation he wasn't part of... Then we arrived at the nile crocodile display. A couple of crocodiles, both above 40 y.o, and both around 4.5 meters in length... The big drunkard suddenly decided he wanted to go inside the enclosure to show her daugher how you catch a crocodile, because you know... He watched "crocodile dundee" in his youth, so he clearly knew how to do it. When he was about to jump over the fence I grabbed his shoulder... Tightly (I'm over 1.9 meters tall, so I was towering above him), I looked him straight in the eyes and told him : "If you want to show your daughter the horrible conclusion to your life, I'm completely fine with it, it's your choice. But mark my words : once you get down there you're on your own, and none of us curators will move a muscle to save you. Unlike you, we value our lives." Seems my tone kinda rang his survival instincts back online since he immediately backed away from the enclosure's fence, and after staring at the crocodile who curiously came out of the water to look at us, concluded that there would be better occasions for him to demonstrate his "skills", and went on with the visit. I kept watching over them until they finally left the place, but he didn't try anything funny again.

Not only did you help the dad get some common sense back and quite possibly save his life, but you also were so very compassionate to his daughter allowing her what amounts to a personal tour of the reptiles!

Listen gorillas and orangutans are gentle gians that can do a lot of damage but usually choose not to. Bonovos are pacifists but all other primates(looking expecially at chimps) are a nightmare. I love them i work with them but they are hell. They bite they are incredibly sadistic and there is a reason for that. It's all about hierarchy. Gorillas have only 1 male so he doesn't compete much with others. But other primates live in groups where there are many males and females. And then you would much rather hurt and disfigure your competitors thn kill them. Cause then you just removed one and Don't climb up. But if they are messrd up they go down and you go up. So what they go is rip eyeballs ears genitalia and bite noses and fingers off. Even the small cute ones are like that. The only primate i feel comfortable with in the zoo i work at is the gibbons cause our ones tend to run away and steal stuff rather than fight. We hve chimps and the policy is there should be at least 2 doors between the chimp group and the keepers. We can't go near the bars and it's only done to trank them for check ups. Same with babbons. The only ha ad on experience we get are the marmosets with some heavy duty gloves. Primates deserve to be freaked out about. They deserve our conservation effords and ehat we have to do is understand why they act the way they do.

On a somewhat related note: I live near the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and a big problem there is idiots vs. bears. It's a common saying that "a fed bear is a dead bear" because they get habituated to easy pickings and often come into conflict with people because of it. Not only do morons feed the bears, but they don't understand that they need to secure food in vehicles or cabins and can't figure out (or won't use) bear proof trash cans. The park can't use the best bear proof trash cans available because, as one ranger put it, "there is considerable overlap in the intelligence of smarter bears and dumber humans".

[@samvimes9510]

Oh god, that shit happens all the time around here. I constantly see stories on the local news about bears breaking into cars looking for food. Half the morons who visit the Smokey Mountains leave their doors unlocked and don't seem to realize that bears can and will open your car door if they smell food. Another problem in nearby Gatlinburg is that due to weird zoning shenanigans, not all parts of the town are required to have bear-proof trashcans.

I want lend a little extra context to the problem with tranquilizer darts as told to me by several people who worked at zoos: People typically think these are hypodermic needles but the reality it terrifying. A tranquilizer dart, depending on the animal it's being used on, can be quite large. Put your index and middle fingers together, that's the sedative cylinder. The actual needle is almost like a drinking straw. Getting hit is painful. The cocktail of drugs matters too. The typical combination is Rompine and Ketamine. Yes, you read that correctly. Underdose the dart and it can take forever, if it all, to take effect. Overdose and you can kill the animal. The dosage is by weight and that can pose a problem if the darts are pre-measured. Even at the perfect dose it can take some larger animals a half hour to go down. Meanwhile you have a hurt, pissed off animal that just got stuck running around. The delivery gun has to be in good order while the operator has to be well trained or they may not get adequate penetration to deliver the dose. Basically it's a gamble and even if the animal is knocked out the staff must act quickly to prevent them from falling in a manner that harm them further. Elephants are apparently the hardest to tranquilizer as if they fall forward on their legs it can cause traumatic chest compression and stop their heart.

And there are some animals that can fight through sedation when they're stressed enough

[@MsMirthling]

and of course it is delivered by an airgun. nobody likes getting shot with a shot. it hurts just from the pressure and add in the noise, too.

[@jackierocha5096]

I was wondering if we’d see someone in the comment section that could enlighten us more about the tranquilizer argument and I had no idea that the darts were that thick, my god I would hate being hit with that in normal circumstances let alone when people are screaming & throwing things at me

There is a good reason anesthesiologists get paid as much as they do.

[@williammcleroy558]

Yeah, most people think dart gun when it's actually 9-penny nail. Haha. I bet those are extremely painful.

The slowblink was probably one of the best takeaways I learned from this. It helped comfort my cats when we were babysitting a dog that never saw cats before and scared them by barking and chasing on sight

[@glitchxero4687]

I'm old enough to remember the stories of both Binti and Jumbo from when they actually happened, which is probably why I was so surprised about how the whole Harambe thing played out. If the onlooking people had just observed instead of throwing things and yelling in a misguided attempt to help, the whole situation probably would've gone down a lot better for poor Harambe.

Exactly

[@JuMiKu]

It likely wouldn't have. At that point the situation was FUBAR. The zoo should have had a proper fence instead of that mixture of a handrail and tripping hazard. Edit: Sorry. I just really hate how people keep blaming the mom, the crowd and even the tiny toddler, instead of the bloody zoo.

[@mostlywholesome]

@@JuMiKu It was the mom's fault tho? How could you not notice your child going inside? If you're really that tired of parenting, why don't you just get a babysitter and go alone at that point?

[@samvimes9510]

Every single year there's at least one story about some idiot tourist in Yellowstone getting attacked by a bison. In fact, this year there were two attacks _just in the last week of June._ I've been to Yellowstone. The park is covered in signs warning you to stay away from bison and it's one of the very first things park rangers will tell you. Despite this, there are always idiots who try to get close to bison. Some try to pet them, some try to take selfies with them, others try to deliberately provoke them. And every single time, the person is either gored, tossed 15 feet into the air, or both. Bison may look like big fluffy cows but they aren't. Never underestimate the stupidity of humans.

[@miquelescribanoivars5049]

You probably shouldn't approach free ranging cattle in that manner either.

[@jennyduong3498]

Wait I thought bisons when extinct-

[@Shinshiamon]

@@jennyduong3498 They are not extinct. But their natural range of habitat has been severely reduced. They used to be practically everywhere in the states I think. So [I could be wrong with this next statement] Yellowstone is one of the last places they live at, from what I gather. Same for the wolves too I think.

[@jennyduong3498]

@@Shinshiamon oh ty for the information

[@epickittymonster4435]

Yeah, I went on a road trip and saw several, first thought was "I'm not going near that". Also I've heard some idiots have tried to put their BABIES on the bison's back for a cute pic and at that point I say steal the child and leave the adult to the bison 💅

[@AtsukaWolfcat]

It's fascinating to see that in almost every story here, the gorilla helped the child. It's a shame for Harambe that the people were freaking him out and screaming when they really should not have. The animals sometimes have more respect for humans than the humans for the animals.

[@StoicVeR]

people were different back in the 80s-90s. We didn't have the viral video craze or the tiktok clout chasers. The crowd was different at the Jambo enclosure, they didn't go nuts, didn't provoke the gorilla. I don't know if they knew better, but getting excited and screaming while a child lay hurt def was not the approach, and it helped the situation. Statistically speaking, these days more people get mauled by a wild animal - even herbivores - because someone is trying to "get a selfie". A lot more free range stupid people are on the loose, and it really fucks up the animals in the wild trying to get by a day and survive human kinds b/s territory invasion.

[@emilynolan187]

Unfortunately most people don't realize that freaking out is the worst thing you can do in a situation like that. Animals notice when people act differently than normal and will respond to that. Zoo animals learn to tune out the usual stupid stuff that visitors do, but seeing all this people panicking would alarm many of them. Poor Harambe thought there was a threat because the public was acting like there was. If they had stayed calm and quiet he might have decided to follow the females inside.

[@T_E_G]

It's like screaming at a flock of birds or a cat, they're still animals and can be triggered easily. They work differently and so do we, yet our species behaves like idiots.

[@williammcleroy558]

That is almost always the case. Animals almost always warn us when they straight up attack any other trespasser creature. Of course their are exceptions in any instance.
