Wish that woman would hold up her hand to the glass too.

I showed you mine, now show me yours!

Reality show Idea: give her the baby and let her raise it. Still Wouldn't be the worst reality show out there.

Does anyone know what the gorilla was signing?
jackinthebax
Babies are the best thing in this world. Gorilla knows that.
OMBO
When my eldest was a toddler she met a toddling gorilla at a window like this. It threw a chunk of rock at her head and romped away. 1/2
OMBO
Gorillas are a kind of people, simple, incredibly strong people.

Social animals kept in cages make me feel sad..

Is there's still someone affirming that they have no feelings ????

AND WE FUCKING PUT THEM IN CAGES! Zoos are a fucking travesty.

I thought the "do not unmute" was meant for annoying music, not for original audio.

Human too dumb to high five gorilla after multiple offers.

Imagine the baby waking up to this enormous weird looking gorilla 20 cm from his face, it would freak out!

"Omg Michael take a picture!" Poor Michael.... That guy deserves a beer
ILikeRespondingWithWillSmithGifs
It’s gonna hurt her when you take the baby away from the glass. I don’t advise doing this in the future.
TheDarkArchitect
They shouldn't be in there.
illtakeasideofkittenswiththat
I’m dying for the mom to hold up it’s little hand to the glass
Phryday601
Me too
NemoTheNemo
Yesss i was thinking exactly that too
IDidntAgreeToTheTermsOfService
In the full video she eventually does just that.
mezaway
Last time I saw this, somebody commented that the gorilla signed that the baby was cute or something. Could be bullshit.
Takkskalduha
It looks like she might be asking about the mask?
Moxica
And according to this primate dialect, “tar” means “white,” and “zan” means “skin.” Put these two together, and voila, you get “Tarzan.”

That gorilla wants to steal that baby
nop666
Jeez. Mom's too dumb to figure out that the gorilla wants her to put her hand up on the glass too.
FsImgur
It's amazing in this clip how she points to herself, and then the baby, basically saying she has one too. Can see it in the linked video.

Can see the gorilla's baby that is. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyBPj7XaN-E

Gorillas in cages, so sad
Fingerbob73
Gorillas in the Mist, Sigourney Weaver.
greenchair
Sad yes, but safer than being hunted there are very few in the wild.
AimlessSavant
Depends on where, and what the place they are being kept in is. """For profit""" zoos that use them as cheap attractions are scum.
FuzzyX
The cage is to protect gorillas from humans.

Zoos are animal prisons
HeywouldJablowme
It is. Unfortunately, because human suck, it's the only way some of these creatures can survive in our despicable world
Anonawesome
While I don't care for going to the zoo, they do a fuckload of conservation work. Much more than any other community.
ThatSonOfaBitch
On one hand I agree. On the other hand, I understand the need for conservatism and education about these species. Without zoos...
ThatSonOfaBitch
we wouldn't have seals and whales suffering. Also without zoos we would long have forgotten about our oceans, the...
ThatSonOfaBitch
African biomes, and South American forests.
Webbegong
Zoos are a very necessary part of helping people understand what's at stake. It makes the abstract tangible, and while not all captivity 1/2
Webbegong
Is responsible and caring, the ones I have worked for do a tremendous effort to maintain animal welfare and enrichment activities.
NayaTaylor
My ex would have never had her passion for marine life if it weren’t for sea world.
grubbylittleslug
Animals don’t need zoos but people seem to. All will be closed for entertainment by 2050
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
The "zoo" safari in san diego was helping breed the last northern white rhino so i feel like zoos are essential for that
grubbylittleslug
How’s that worked out? Only effective way to conserve biodiversity is the whole ecosystem, in-situ, approach. Zoos are just animal prisons
shdo2199
I think that if we closed all zoos, in a generation we will see less caring about animals and the environment. childrens need to connect.
grubbylittleslug
Respectfully, I disagree. Why more caring from an interaction with a captive ape through glass than watching ants foraging on a sidewalk?
shdo2199
we step on ants.

You can see it under the gorilla mom's hand in the first few second when she lifts the hand up.

She/he is the taken gorilla. #boycottzoos
BellsTheorem
That isn't how zoos operate anymore. They are now vital for saving an endangered species and maintaining a diverse gene pool.
macgerdo
Isn't it sad? This planet is so ruined by humans, humans have to cage in animals so they don't go extinct.
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
But also animals can just be too much of one kind and it tips the ecosystem too much, a lot of the times by humans, added with natural f up
macgerdo
Yeah, sometimes I wonder how nature survived and even evolved before humans appeared and helped by regulating it.
BellsTheorem
Sad and unfortunately inevitable.
rajmago
Forgive my ignorance. I should do more reading on the subject. That said, having traveled through many a countries, what you're saying (1/2)
rajmago
Isn't universally true of most zoos across the globe.
BellsTheorem
I don't know if it is most or some but yes it isn't universal.
MrKomisiripala
I fucking hate zoos. That gorilla is probably yearning for one of her own.
Upinthecold
There are good zoos and bad ones.
trikucian
I think the gorilla is holding her own baby, you can see a baby gorilla hand
NyQuilDaydream
There's a difference between zoos and roadside attractions. I feel like most people watch stuff like Tiger King and imagine they're all....
NyQuilDaydream
like that but it's completely wrong. Zoos are critical to the study and rehabilitation/preservation of many species.
Cyclicus
Zoos truly suck. Poachers are worse.
adrianontherocks
Zoos do not suck. They save animals that would die. They bring species back from the brink of extinction.
IWannaStartACatCafe
As someone who is pro-zoo I would argue that modern zoos don't suck, but all other zoos do suck
ProbablyJustPlants
I thought the sane way, until I read Life of Pi. Ignore the movie, it leaves out all the good stuff.
FreakySexGuy
Animals in captivity have a very hard time fertilizing the same as in the wild. Must be the stress. Just like with humans.
Aeonika
If I recall right from the last time this was posted, she does have one and it makes an appearance after this clip ends.
adrianontherocks
You realize zoos are directly responsible for keeping multiple species from going extinct through breeding programs/SSPs
Cyclicus
Just because they are necessary doesn’t mean they don’t suck. Stop making equivalency fallacies.
adrianontherocks
They don’t suck. Why do you think they do? I would love to address your concerns or questions.
MrKomisiripala
Given a choice, I think the animals would rather go extinct. We’re not keeping them from going extinct for them, it’s for our entertainment
girthyafterbirth
And that is the hottest take of the decade WOW
Alpine262
Most animals going extinct are doing so due to poachers. Its very rare for a species to go extinct on its own. Pandas are an exception.
AndroidSoul
I thought most animals were going extinct because of human disruption of habitats. We love clearcutting forests and destroying water tables
imakeeper
What a horrific thing to believe. We are the reason these species are endangered, so we have a responsibility to prevent it.
adrianontherocks
You’d be surprised how many anti-zoo people I talk to who firmly believe that the animals would be better off dead no matter what
imakeeper
I've been out of the zoo field for a few years now, but I have had those conversations too.
adrianontherocks
…no, it’s really not. If it were there would be a lot more money in it. We do it for the animals.
MrKomisiripala
Fuck that. I come from a place where people were taken to be displayed in human zoos for the amusement of Europeans.
NewToTheEnterwbs
JESUS! How old are you? Last human zoos were in the 1800's. Or correct me very early 1900's?
adrianontherocks
What does that have to do with modern day animal zoos
Bigbadtacomuncher
And that makes zoos okay? A life in imprisonment just so humans have something to point at.
Upinthecold
They help with conservation and Information. Knoklene people gain from a zoo visit, very well might make people support more conservation
Upinthecold
Knowlege
Bigbadtacomuncher
We cant do that to humans, but these are just stupid animals so that makes it okay.
AimlessSavant
We do it to humans. Prison.
CameForNatalieDormer
That's not at all what they said. The point is that some zoos provide important breeding programs that prevent or fight extinction.
Bananasandwiches42
That may be but for me I can’t stand going to zoos. Ours is outdated and small. The polar bears look horrible and the sight of one walking
Bananasandwiches42
Back and forth out of nervousness and agitation made me depressed. She died later that week. I never went back to a zoo after that. I can’t.
number1superguy
So what you are saying is you hate bad zoos and your local one especially. It’s a valid point.
adrianontherocks
So push for change. We need more regulations in certain areas (Florida as an example) and we need more funding for animal welfare. But >
adrianontherocks
You can’t just say ‘all zoos are bad’ because they’re not.
LumpWithaLeafHat
We can't all be pushing for all things all the time. Them not liking zoos doesn't require them to take any action other than not going.
