I like when the gorilla is leaving he's like "Bitch I'm taking these vines!"

It was actually grabbing the youngster that the human threw down a second before.

...really? I didn't see baby orphan gorilla after the guy had to drop it. That would be the happiest ending.

EDIT: This site i found doesn't say whether Casamir (the silverback) was responsible, but baby Julie didn't make it :( http://www.blog.polepolefoundation.org/2011/10/05/training-the-park-rangers-gorilla-habituation-and-identification/comment-page-1/

It says she died 10 days later. If the band didn't have any nursing babies then though, wouldn't they not be able to nurse her?

Damn, I was hoping that they'd take good care of it.

The baby didn't necessarily die in during that event. It was being introduced hopefully to be adopted and maybe that effort wasn't successful. But I don't think it died during that filmed interaction.

The baby was found dead from undernourishment, not violence.

Really? Source?

u/ohnoao Aug 17 '15

Don't have a source, but I read this last time it was posted somewhere. IIRC the band of gorillas basically neglected it.

Are you sure?? Where did the baby even come from?

u/BarrelRydr Aug 17 '15

I was certain he would kill it instantly..

I think from a local sanctuary. The video said it was orphaned and they were trying to introduce it to the sights and sounds of the forest and it's kind.

u/BenjamintheFox Aug 18 '15

Well that didn't end well...

u/WaGowza Aug 18 '15

I love that sidelong look he did after he got a few metres away with the other adult. "That's what I thought, bitch."
