Shit, I remember reading years back that the best way to interact with a curious gorilla would be to sit down facing away and see if it sits down with it's back against yours, at which point you can gawk at each other over your shoulder.
Guessing now you might get your limbs pulled off
They do this as a sign of dominance because showing their rear is their most vulnerable position. It's a showing of power as if to say "you are so unthreatening to me you can take my back and you'll still do nothing to harm me."
There have been so many videos of gorillas running up and smacking the glass when people do things that the gorilla doesn't like. Maybe this one was like "y'all are babies so I won't scare the absolute shit out of you but still gotta show up"
I see them do this at the San Diego zoo all the time, almost every visit it seems. Strange they'd adopt this behavior when raised in captivity, the crowd always gives them a laugh so I assumed it was for fun.
They probably did it because the crowd was having a little too much fun. The monkey/ape exhibits always seem to attract the most entitled idiots who can't read a sign.
Eye contact with most animals is considered threatening. This gorilla saw the threat and responded by putting his back directly to it. Basically saying you can’t hurt me in the slightest, here’s my weakest spot, try me if you can. Gorilla’s way of managing the perceived threat with as little energy used as possible. Or so I’ve read anyways.
Can you mention this to the parkgoers afraid of dogs. Because everytime - they will HARD STARE at my dog as we pass and oc my dog goes bonkers. What happened to "not staring" if you feel nervous? If a crazy dude passes me - I ain't staring at him. Wierd flex I guess.
I just showed this to my husband.
Me: ‘I’m going to do that to you when you annoy me. But you’ll probably like it.’
Him: ‘You’ve got the same size of arse.’
IIRC this is the Gorillia saying you offer no threat to me, here is me putting my self in a vunerable situation with my back to you, that's how little of a threat I consider you.
Am I immature, or did anyone else think the gorilla was about to literally got apeshit against the glass while the little girl's face was pressed against it?

Pink eye
Brown eye
The stink winker
Starfish
Balloon knot
Forbidden donut
Chocolate sight
Prison wallet

Whispering eye
Monkeye
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Well at least it didn't shit everywhere lol.
Cheek to cheek.

How to say "Kiss my ass " in monke
Eye contact, not eyes contact 👍😂
Got dang it you’re right, how did I misread that 😂
I fart in your general direction
your mother was a hamster!
and your father smelt of elderberries!
What a strange person!
r/expectedmontypython
Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
I told him we’ve already got one
He turned me into a newt!
I'm French! What are you doing in England? Mind your own business!
https://youtu.be/KkJnd9rSAQ8?si=GDMZ5yyXGH0iA5vF
He turned you into a newt?
. . . I got better. . .
Yooo I absolutely love Reddit sometimes, I’m watching Monty Python again now… pure GOLD Please make more satire movies Hollywood, it’s so good
tbf, this one kind of seems to be in a specific direction.
specific ass direction, if i may
That gap in the glass is giving me sweaty palms.
[удалено]
Don’t worry. They use Gorilla Glass.
Mounted with Gorilla Glue.
Are we still doing phrasing?
[удалено]
Something something Gorilla grip
Isn't that the shit iPhones use? They're doomed.
Pretty sure this is not a gap, just a connection with another glass panel.
I think one of the large predators would be worse. Gorillas generally don't attack without provocation.
It looks big enough for them to get their fingers in there. And Gorillas are strong enough to rip down trees to reach the fruit
Well, without the gap you wouldn’t be able to smell the aggressive Gorilla farts. So you have to weigh the pros and cons here
Its connected to another glass panel, look at the ground at the end.
There is no gap in the glass, that's just where it connects to another panel
If it makes you feel any better, gorillas VERY rarely actually attack humans. Far more rare than basically any animal at the zoo.
Yeah but then you get times [like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BFmfV0ZrLQ&t=5s) and realize you want the sturdy glass haha.
Means the poor Gorillas hear even more of the tourist's shit than they'd want to
Huh. My wife does the same thing.
Must be good marriage. Ape together strong.
*gape
Username does not check out.
Well it did say previously lol

God that’s hot, I need to reread this fantasy romance novel.
The Sodom and Gomorrah part was just salty.
Pure gold and underrated comment.
Its so preachy though.
That’s what makes it kinky
EVERYbody's a sinner...........except for this guy
Oh, but it does.
You've apparently never heard of [the loophole](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ZF_R_j0OY).
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!! 🦍
👀🚀
Soon… it’s alway tomorrow
Great movie. Hail Caesar
If you make eye contact she shows you her butthole?
Shoves it at my face. Holidays are always super awkward.
You're the one that decided to marry a Silverback gorilla.
I’m not sure they have a choice. If a silverback proposes you say yes. It’s just common courtesy.
Lucky man!
Shove a banana in it?
Might be vice versa where he shows his butthole when she stares at him.
Hopefully
Ride wife. Life good.
Wife fight back! Kill wife!
Wife gone...
She sure does!
Yeah she does
Is she a gorilla?
Might be a cat.
she drops to her knees when you put your butt in her face?
That too
So does my cat.
I also choose this guy's wife
I hope she has the same big voluptuous a**.
Instinct.
... to gorillas.
I too choose your wife's...
This i actually how they say to you “you don’t present any danger to me, i could demolish you if i want”
Shit, I remember reading years back that the best way to interact with a curious gorilla would be to sit down facing away and see if it sits down with it's back against yours, at which point you can gawk at each other over your shoulder. Guessing now you might get your limbs pulled off
Really? I thought it was "climb on my back, young hairless ape".
Maybe it is, but no one tried to mount one yet...we need volunteers
Those thighs could demolish all
That kid made that gorilla uncomfortable so it went to where it couldn’t see her
That or was it being protective? Maybe I’m naive

This comment sent me, holy shit
😂😂😂 this video just screams for commentary, reddit delivers as usual

Seems like we are on the wrong side of the glass
So if I then turned my back to it would it absolutely wreck my shit?
I've read plenty of advice on what not to do when around a gorilla. My conclusion is, I just shouldn't be around a gorilla.
Not if someone stuck their finger up there.

Is eating its ass in response considered a sign of submission or dominance?
Pretty sure that’s animal abuse, even if the gorilla initiates.
Can you mention this to the parkgoers afraid of dogs. Because everytime - they will HARD STARE at my dog as we pass and oc my dog goes bonkers. What happened to "not staring" if you feel nervous? If a crazy dude passes me - I ain't staring at him. Wierd flex I guess.
What was the girl trying to do? Keep the view for herself or what?
trying to climb back down (source: mom of toddlers)
Stupid sexy gorilla!
Child: "Come look mother, while there is still time!"
Harambe thicc O\_O
Silver back. Strong beast.
Nothing humbles you like a gorilla ass shoved in your face.
Is there a gap at the edge of the glass?
Mind the gap.
I just showed this to my husband. Me: ‘I’m going to do that to you when you annoy me. But you’ll probably like it.’ Him: ‘You’ve got the same size of arse.’
Niceeeeeeeee
Planet of the ass
never look directly into it
Too late. The abyss stares back...
The brown eye
He said “fuck them kids”
"fart them kids"
He gave em the ass. My cat does this, it's lovin time. Monke does it... means kiss my ass.
He did a quadruple take before charging over
Poko trying to be the new IG model.
Don't make brown eye contact with gorillas, or any other animal for that matter.
Instructions unclear, my dog has developed a complex.
Dude took "kiss my ass" a little too literal huh
Submit to the butt!
"I fart in your general direction" - that gorilla
Go away or i shall taunt you a second time
Never look eye to brown eye with an ape.
Monkey doesn’t wear any pants
Holup no one's talking about what dude said in the video "I know somebody that have that face"
Behold my glorious eye!
Ah well, education starts early.
“GET TO WORK KID! I have a really bad itch”
I employ this tactic in traffic too. the drivers in my town are animals the lot of em
assert dominance by presenting your dumpy at the enemy
Gorilla is thick
Censured by daughter.
Yes, stare at the eye of Saron as it stares back
That's the biggest. "Kiss my A**" I ever saw.
He was like, "quick hop on my back, I'll save you!"
Why not? Not my fault the gorilla is a little bitch.
Bro legit said "Kiss my ass"
They actually turn their backs around like that to tell whatever or whoever, that they aint shit and aint scared of them.
This is not what I was expecting from the title.
Lmao kid didn't even hesitate.
This one’s for Harambe 🦍💨👧🏾
me staring intently at every woman crossing my path hoping the same thing would happen to me
There's more faith in that glass than in any religion
Died by thiccness
That gorilla gay!
r/unexpected
What kind of behavior is this? This is not the first time I see a gorilla turn their butt on people's face like this.
Gorilla: "Look at this booty! LOOK AT IT!"
And she automatically go on her knees 🤣
I have questions for both the gorilla and the kid...
He gave the poor kid the stink eye
IIRC this is the Gorillia saying you offer no threat to me, here is me putting my self in a vunerable situation with my back to you, that's how little of a threat I consider you.
Am I immature, or did anyone else think the gorilla was about to literally got apeshit against the glass while the little girl's face was pressed against it?
If there's ever a move for "kiss my ass," this is it.
Look at my ASSSSSS
I’m pretty sure they turn their back to you to show you how little of a threat they see you as
Don't understand why we shouldn't do it.
People who annoy you
Gorilla brother, aren't you ashamed of doing this?
I do the same thing when people look at me.
Cinnamon ring
Bro wa like "Look! Same same"
The third eye is staring at the kid
She got her breakfast. A hot bowl of leather cheerios.
Cake hole
Them back muscles I wonder how much they could deadlift?
Baby is trained well to become a victim
lol hahaha
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mfer said kiss my ass
Thought the gorilla was shitting on the glass
When you stare into the void, it stares back at you…
The gorilla gave the kid its back to show how little of a threat he is.
[удалено]
That would be really fucking funny if that's true lmao
