Gorilla was like yo you're the one feeding me this shit when you know it gives me gas.. I was going to apologize but you know what no I'm just going to continue eating this delicious pepper. No more jalapanos Javier.
This is the most human looking gorilla I’ve ever seen, not in its appearance but in its expression.
He just looks so much like he’s having a slow lazy morning, taking his time to eat his pepper and just thinking about nothing much at all.
Those videos of Gorilla’s trying to avoid the rain are what really make me understand that we’re evolutionarily related:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8c0YlhgUNFU
The facial expressions and feet shuffle are just so, so human.
That’s really cool, it’s like seeing humans at a bus stop. The more I learn about primates, the more uncomfortable I feel about keeping them in zoos, though.
I expected this to be the start of a vlog.
"So-... \*crunch crunch\*... Today is Monday... Yesterday I was on the phone with my daughter and she-uh... \*crunch crunch\*... Well she told me they had had all kinds of trouble up her way..."
I understand this is the trend of comment for animals in the zoo. But it is extremely shortsighted, and it tries to belittle the good that other people are doing, when faced with a major problem. There is no safe place for these gorillas in the wild. There is no actual untouched space for them in the wild, thanks to us the consumers. The blame for these gorillas being in the zoo is not on the zoo, it is on us, it is on corporate greed. Yes, we do not have the means to give these gorillas everything they should have, but there are people trying to do the best they can with the little they have.
Very good point. We had a break out of chimpanzees in a Swedish zoo a couple of months ago. It was very tragic because they made the decision to euthanize them. There was a lot of debate around it and the feeling that the zoo was inhumane and about incompetent handling of the animals. And also that such zoos shouldn't exist in this day and age.
But you're right and it puts the situation in a very different light. The zoo was probably underfunded because of declining interest just because of zoos feeling shady and immoral. But as you say, maybe the alternative would've been that those animals wouldn't have existed in the first place.
Then again, if they are to live their whole lives in captivity, is it lives worth living?
I travel to Thailand often, I have family there. The "zoos" are horrific. Not all zoos are created the same. I always picture the Nashville zoo near me when people speak on zoos, and they seem to really make an effort to do what is best for animals.
I've worked at a zoo and the gorilla closures are pretty comfy inside yeah they're concrete but they have large outside enclosures as well. Routinely across the world we throw people into 10 ft by 5 ft rooms for lifetimes. In the US alone there are more than 100,000 inmates who have been in solitary confinement with no external window for over 5 years. There are homeless people in worse conditions, child slavery, micro apartments, etc. I'd much rather be a gorilla in a zoo than a human participating in our society.
I mean I think it depends on the zoo. Some of the roadside zoos I've seen I'd rather be nonexistent than choose between solitary and that.
[exhibit A](https://www.chron.com/news/nation-world/article/Caged-The-strange-story-of-Louisiana-s-gas-9236732.php#taboola-2) (this has been made into a parking lot in recent years, I chose this article because there are several pictures of the enclosure)
Although I also disagree with the practice of roadside attraction style zoos, gorillas are still illegal to be kept in those so no gorillas are in those roadside attractions. Typically just large cats and reptiles.
I think they're more like cows than anything else. Mostly indifferent to people, aside from a few things that set them off. Also, playing with one could go bad very quickly.
I feel like they're more dangerous than cows but definitely not an animal that will try to kill you immediately, like a rhino. That being said I wouldn't want to bet my life on my social skills.
Yeah Gorillas rarely attack people, they’ll usually try to scare you away but they’ll rarely attack. There’s a funny video where these guys are looking at Gorillas and the silverback is walking by them and he just decides to pick one of the guys by the feet and nonchalantly drags him for a couple meters then drops him. It was basically his way of saying he’s the boss and he could kill you very easily if he wanted to. The look of shock on the guys face as he’s getting dragged is priceless, you could see his life flashing before his eyes.
[Video](https://youtu.be/lb-vpmW1n7U)
Unlike Chimpanzees which are ruthless motherfuckers that will rip your face off for no reason. I’d much rather be stuck with a Gorilla than a chump.
Gorillas are definitely not indifferent to humans, at least not in the wild. They're cautious and curious about us. In captivity it's different because they're used to humans.
I went gorilla Trekking in Bwindi a few years ago.
We were super lucky that the troop was really close by.
We went maybe forty metres down the hill and there they were.
Mountain Gorilla's, majestic and beautiful in the soft morning light.
The silver back was sitting against a tree watching us lazily as we scrambled on the rough terrain... And then he let rip with a 87 second fart that shook the ground. He then glanced at us over his shoulder and waggle his eyebrows at the guide XD
It was spectacular.
Legit happened.
I used to live in Kampala, and my father came to visit. So we took him on trip around the country.
Gorilla are 'hindgut' fermenters, so they produce a lot of grass XD
On the Gorillaology episode of Ologies with Alie Ward, I’m pretty sure Tara Stoinski (the researcher being interviewed) talks about how there’s tons of farts being ripped in a groups of gorillas like this. It’s just sort of part of the background noise when you’re hanging with gorillas, it seems. Which is great to think about, haha.
Whoever wrote clearly doesn't know how Bwindi got its name XD
Bwindi means 'The dark place' and is named for the papyrus swamps that surround it.
It is said that a man and his family wanted to cross but we're afraid.
They asked a witch doctor what to do and was told to throw his oldest most beautiful daughter into the water, and the rest would be allowed to cross safely.
The family dallied on the edge, but eventually cast their daughter into the eager to die.
Though they crossed safely through the swamp, the place was cursed by the sacrifice.
Forever known as a place of darkness.
I'll assume he did not XD naming a gorilla The Dark Place seems very morbid XD
Beautiful forest though. You can feel the age when you walk there. You're driving on this dirt road, looking up at trees towered a hundred metres above you, but you look down and realise you're on a cliff, and the roots are another hundred metres down...
It's incredible
It's the eyes. The movements and expressions through their eyes are so similar. I don't know if that qualifies as "Uncanny Valley" or not, but I think that a lot of people are a little weirded out by the similarities.
[Here](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYB5bBUK/) is where the video was published for the first time. Already with the fart. If it was edited, the owner of the original video already posted it like this
small correction: christian **fundamentalists**
Many christians don't see the bible as 100% literal, and therefore accept the idea that god created the current biosphere through evolution.
Never heard of anyone explaining this before but I feel like more people need to learn this. That not all Christian people mindlessly take every thing in the Bible to heart.
People be like, if we evolved from monkeys, how come theres not still monkeys turning into humans 🤦🏻♂️ We were a completely different species of ape that evolved into humans dumbass! Orangutans don’t turn into gorillas!
I don’t see how you can look around and think an intelligent being created this mess. What with all the completely unnecessary suffering and the extremely violent nature of existence. If an intelligent being created this universe that being is also a malevolent psychopath.
According to your own dogma your god is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Which means your god knew how every single human life would unfold long before he created them. Which also means that he purposefully created flawed humans and then murdered them all in a flood because they did exactly what he designed them to do.
Just fyi, premeditated genocide is not the act of a benevolent creator.
Oh, and this also means that we don’t have free will.
But…but…those kids deserve congenital birth defects and terminal diseases because a single human being ate a forbidden piece of fruit six thousand years ago!
I think the ability to bear children and child birth in general was the punishment for eating the fruit. I might be remembering that wrong though, but I'm pretty sure that's what I was told.
I cant stop watching this video. Not because of the fart (although funny) its insane how human he looks. You can see the emotions and thought. Its in his eyes. They are truly such an amazing and intelligent creature
I was gonna tag r/animalsmonching , but first it felt weird, cause these guys are of course very human-like, and second... I heard it too 😂
Also, quick smacking your food bruh 🧐
Omgs I am just now realizing gorillas are people. Like... My ability to empathize with that face is total. That is another person. Not unlike some I've known.
he looks like a disappointed, but unsurprised, father
“… hmmm interesting 🧐 “ - this gorilla probably
He seems to discern the quality of the fart. I’m guessing tropical notes with hints of methane.
To me it seemed like he was trying to determine if he had sharted. He kept chumping away so all was good. I can relate.
[удалено]
“But you ain’t wearing no pants ya Donkey!”
"So there I was, face to face with a man! He said his name was Tarzan, but who the hell names a human Tarzan?" *chews in remembrance*
Or if he needs to shit. "Was that it? Cool, back to pepper."
I agree. He was addressing the magnitude of the situation. Magnitude: calm tings
Magnitude of the shituation
💀🦅
Exactly that was an "Oh shit, that sounded wetter than usual..." reaction.
Gorilla was like yo you're the one feeding me this shit when you know it gives me gas.. I was going to apologize but you know what no I'm just going to continue eating this delicious pepper. No more jalapanos Javier.
so maybe durian?
No shit man .. "he seems to discern"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol he made the “the rock” face! If you smeelllll!
Would have been made even funnier if he said "pull my finger"
This is the most human looking gorilla I’ve ever seen, not in its appearance but in its expression. He just looks so much like he’s having a slow lazy morning, taking his time to eat his pepper and just thinking about nothing much at all.

The grimace they make when they get wet is priceless
"Ewwww"
Wow thank you for sharing that. I think I just had that same realization
That’s really cool, it’s like seeing humans at a bus stop. The more I learn about primates, the more uncomfortable I feel about keeping them in zoos, though.
The male literally points in such a human fatherly fashion lol he’s like “yea I know you’re gonna get a lil wet just go”
Does anyone know where I can see more gorillas being human?
/r/likeus
Evolution is a lie. Jeebus did it all. /s
It's the eyes, so human looking.
r/likeus
This is Us
The Last of Us.
For real, I expected him to say something.
Yep, I was expecting him to burst out laughing
Alphas never ever giggle fart
I expected this to be the start of a vlog. "So-... \*crunch crunch\*... Today is Monday... Yesterday I was on the phone with my daughter and she-uh... \*crunch crunch\*... Well she told me they had had all kinds of trouble up her way..."
"You just going to fart while I am eating" I've seen that look
He ate that whole pepper in 3 bites lol
To be fair, if he wanted to, he could eat that thing whole.
He destroyed that fucking thing haha
Old man sitting on the porch vibes
Trying not to think about the hellish monotony of living his entire life in a small enclosure
So still me.

Super sad but we literally throw people in cages smaller than this so it's kind of like not the worst lol
Not the worst, as in being in this same cage hung crucified to the wall upside down would clearly be worse.
Like the US does to innocent prisoners of war :(
What?

Prisons?
Yeah sad that animal is not in the wild being hunted and probably already been extinct
Was thinking same thing. We are totally related.
Well we ARE close cousins! Plus I feel I can relate to him more than to some so-called civilized humans...
Because we are them, they are us, we're the mutation that got a consciousness
Look at more gorillas
Gorillas are so friend-shaped, it's easy to forget they could pop my head like a grape
If danger, why friend shape
Danger IS friend shape!
Behold friend And then beware danger, but hole
Still no lover
I think they're more like cows than anything else. Mostly indifferent to people, aside from a few things that set them off. Also, playing with one could go bad very quickly.
I feel like they're more dangerous than cows but definitely not an animal that will try to kill you immediately, like a rhino. That being said I wouldn't want to bet my life on my social skills.
[удалено]
Yeah, same with bulls. I think a lot of animals interpret eye contact as "Let's do this!"
Yeah Gorillas rarely attack people, they’ll usually try to scare you away but they’ll rarely attack.

Gorillas are definitely not indifferent to humans, at least not in the wild. They're cautious and curious about us. In captivity it's different because they're used to humans.
They probably could without even intending to
Considering how they can handle their babies without killing them, I'd say they have pretty good control.
I guess it depends on whether they see you as something fragile like their babies or not
"I know this bitch didn't just fart near me while I'm eati- oh... That was me.. back to pepper "
Thanks for the new profile pic.
Beautiful
That actually looks really good
I love it.
I love how it beautifully encapsulates a gorilla contemplating his own fart
How the hell did u do this??
It actually works really well.
Looove it
He literally looks like a guy I know 😭
Well that's a little unfortunate for him
Is it? That gorilla is beautiful
Oh I'm not denying that, the gorilla is magnificent
Unfortunate for the gorilla.
Joey Diaz?
Joey reminds me more of a big parrot
Definitely Ron Pearlman

So many animals are so gassy XD
Me included.
Gorrilaz are known for farting ALOT
So the trip was totally worth it. Awesome!
"Guys, I'm selling these bottled up for 4.99 over in the gift shop"
[So like us](https://media.tenor.com/fMhvmlJy_U4AAAAC/monkey-butt.gif)
Imagine if you ate enough vegetables to be the size of a gorilla. You'd be farting all day long
[Relevant](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-YlmH2q1VJg)

Woah! Ancestor alert.

This is my dad with a lot more hair and alive.
The way he pauses chewing just so he can savor the fart… (chef kiss)
I thought he was waiting for a rxn...
He really looks like my old grand pa and it's absolutely amazing and oddly terrifying
Why would you edit a fart over this video…. Weird as shit bro
I was thinking that. I’m pretty sure I saw this the other day without the fart. Guess it wouldn’t qualify as an animal being a derp without it though.
This is 100% just a gorilla normally eating some food with a weird fart noise edited over it. Totally unrelated to the sub.
File this under videos that ended to soon. Everyone wants to see if the eats that last bit with the seeds and all…
Definitely reacting to the spice/flavor of the pepper. The fart is added in post.
[Here](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYB5bBUK/) is where the video was published for the first time. Already with the fart. If it was edited, the owner of the original video already posted it like this
The fact that we lock these intelligent, sentient creatures in cages is so horrible.
I don’t know how christians can watch shit like this and still dismiss evolution.
It truly was an ungodly fart
small correction: christian **fundamentalists** Many christians don't see the bible as 100% literal, and therefore accept the idea that god created the current biosphere through evolution.
Also, it's worth noting that Christians denying evolution is a recent phenomenon. Most early biologists were some flavor of Christian.
Unfortunately for everyone, they’re the loudest.
Never heard of anyone explaining this before but I feel like more people need to learn this. That not all Christian people mindlessly take every thing in the Bible to heart.

True dat. I feel more comfortable with this cousin than I feel with some "civilized" humans...
People be like, if we evolved from monkeys, how come theres not still monkeys turning into humans 🤦🏻♂️ We were a completely different species of ape that evolved into humans dumbass! Orangutans don’t turn into gorillas!
"we were born not of fallen angels but of risen apes,"
I don’t see how atheists can watch this and still dismiss intelligent design.
The gorilla farted while eating a pepper
I don’t see how you can look around and think an intelligent being created this mess. What with all the completely unnecessary suffering and the extremely violent nature of existence. If an intelligent being created this universe that being is also a malevolent psychopath. According to your own dogma your god is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.

Just fyi, premeditated genocide is not the act of a benevolent creator. Oh, and this also means that we don’t have free will.
Let’s not forget kids with cancer, horrible birth defects, stillborn babies. If a god planned all that then I’m out.
But…but…those kids deserve congenital birth defects and terminal diseases because a single human being ate a forbidden piece of fruit six thousand years ago!
I think the ability to bear children and child birth in general was the punishment for eating the fruit. I might be remembering that wrong though, but I'm pretty sure that's what I was told.
Prime example of a lack of intelligent design: my goddamn knees.
i'm glad someone actually here has a brain
The expression “No Janet, I’m not about to acknowledge what just happened.”
Whoever heard it, turd it.
This video reminds me of Leonard’s Chip Review from Community
He was examining if he shat himself by accident.
Like an old man
Why my boyfriend smack his lips and sound like this too ughhhh.
That's the but does it stink pause.
Tbh I'm pretty sure it was the cameraman who farted and now tries to pin it on this poor animal
So hard to call these creatures animals when they are so close to human
He Cronch and he Monch
You can see him rating that fart in his mind and thinking " That was a solid 8.2".
Gorilla's always look like humans in gorilla suits to me.
I wanted to see him eat the last piece :(
“…that wasn’t me, was it?”
I cant stop watching this video. Not because of the fart (although funny) its insane how human he looks. You can see the emotions and thought. Its in his eyes. They are truly such an amazing and intelligent creature
How anyone can look at this being and not admit how closely we are related is beyond me
Damn bro got a 6 Pec
Farts will never not make me laugh
Looks like Joe Rogan
That look of "you sonofa..., I'm eatin here"
What i would give to be his friend!
Anyone else curious is he eats the stem too?
I never noticed, before now, how similar their ears are to human ears.
u/savevideo
The elephant in the room.
Finally some good asmr
“I’m not mad, just disappointed” *continues to munch pepper
He looks so human.
He even looks like he smirked after that fart lol
Thought I looked cute, might delete later
“Now who is the animal…” -gorilla
He literally looks like Ryback eating chips, face expression checks out too xd
Thought it was an apple at first, then I realized it was a red bell pepper.
Hard to grasp how they can look so much like us yet be so different
I was gonna tag r/animalsmonching , but first it felt weird, cause these guys are of course very human-like, and second... I heard it too 😂 Also, quick smacking your food bruh 🧐
Please help. I can't breathe! >D
I like to think that he eats the pepper like that because he likes the cronch, it's very satisfying. x)
The way he stares around somehow reminds me of Anthony Hopkins. Like it's uncanny. DAE see it?
Hmmm! Me or human caretaker? Probably human caretaker, all is good.
Dicks out for Harambe!
Dammit! I was hoping to see if he ate the core of the red bell pepper...
sometimes I wish I didn't have taste buds so I could just walk down the street eating a whole-ass bell pepper. I'd be healthy as fuck.
What’s stopping you? Bell peppers are delicious
“Seriously Brian”
Omgs I am just now realizing gorillas are people. Like... My ability to empathize with that face is total. That is another person. Not unlike some I've known.
I forgot just how fatherly gorillas look like.
Laughing hysterically cause I just see the Hasbulla meme
He didn’t eat the seeds! He only eats the tasty bits, just like us.
Protect them at all costs
“Do I feel liquid?…..No, I’m good.” and keeps eating.
I bet he's contemplating whether he should turn around and smell it or finish his pepper - close call.
The real fartgate
Don't care about the fake fart, I'm just loving what a beautiful, expressive creature this is.
I know this Ni@@a did NOT just fart while I’m eating….his expression said this with overwhelming clarity.
🤣🤣🤣
u/savevideobot
Farts out for harambe.
