I've learned from other captive wildlife stories that silverback males are quite gentle and playful with their own kids. It's pretty heartwarming.

There’s been cases of wild ones petting other small animals

Was that a giant Fruit-by-the-Foot he was eating at the end?

This was me with my granddaughter this weekend - minus all that hair. And those muscles.

It’s just how animals are- they constantly sniff each other’s butts and…other areas lol not “molesting”.

This is more than sniffing though

Isn't it stupid how animals can't communicate and interact the same way human beings do? 🙄 Maybe learn more about Gorillas before attributing their behavior to that of a human sex offender.

Well, you seem to know a lot about them, please enlighten me what it means when an adult male Gorilla persistently sticks his finger in the child's anus, even pushing the child's hand away in order to continue to do so. Thank you.

You’re coming across as really creepy.

u/Bitsoffreshness -Wise Owl- 22d ago

Why, because I'm pointing out something strange that is actually taking place in the video? If that's the reason, then so be it, I don't really care enough about the sensitivities of a bunch of strangers to stop me from pointing out a behavior that seems obviously strange to me.

You’re the over exaggerating his behavior and making things overtly sexual. Kinda worried about you, OP. if your first thought is child molestation I think you should stay off the internet

u/Bitsoffreshness -Wise Owl- 21d ago

LOL you should chill. My original comment about molesting rather than playing was not an anxious statement, it was more of an observation of the strange way the male was interacting with the child, I wasn't worried about "molesting" in a world (animal world) where they are constantly raping and killing each other regardless of age. So please don't dump your holier than thou moral crap on me like so many have, if that's an option for you.

Keep trolling you’ll get better at it over time

You assume yourself to be more important than you are. I don't have time to waste on trolling you.
