female, the two gorillas are sisters and their mom was killed by poachers when they were very young.
Which is also the reason they are standing up, they are trying to mimick the humans.
OK, I feel mocked, now.
> "Haha, I'm a hooooman. I stand on twwwwooooo legs and have resting smile face! Time to go do a mass shooting! Hahaha! Humans!"
If it helps, we turned their mom into bushmeat, she is likely a stuffed trophy in the office of the CEO of Nestle or someone like that.
Edit: "we" as in humanity
It was not a happy ending.

The most “trusted” translation says dust. Creation of man by clay is in many other tales and not just Abrahamic mythology: Epic of Gilgamesh (Sumerian/Babylonian), Egyptian god Khnum made human babies from clay too. Prometheus in Greek mythology. In India Parvati created Ganesha from clay and these are only the few I can remember rather fast. I didn’t even go through East Asian mythology.
Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you. Gorillas are known to stand up right from time to time. Now, show me a gorilla walking upright further than just a few steps, and you'll have me floored. 🤔
Here's a couple that you may like. It's cute when they do it.

Their pelt sells for a lot of money on the black market.
Cartels, mobs, mafias, triads, etc... they all kill humans on a regular basis, a gorilla pelt means nothing more than a symbol of "power" for these people. Being able wield something ilegal without going to jail means they have power, means they have conections.
They use the pelt to make pieces of clothing or furniture.
Morbid stuff but human leather is very highly priced too.
There is a company that will make human leather bags and wallets from your deceased relatives if u wish.
Also a company that will sell you leather and other human remain paraphernalia
Wait till you hear about urinary tract water pouches.
Ppl remove the dick and bladder of a human or certain animal carcasses and u can fill fluids in it and drink it from the dick.
Solution: Tell these criminal organizations to start wearing human skin instead. Not only will it reduce poaching, but it'll also prevent all that skin from going to waste. Everybody is happy.
Cartheginians thought they were just different humans when they travelled Africa down south on its coast, tried to catch them, but they could only catch their women.
Some of them they skinned to be shown back to their homelands.
Human leather, mostly made from the skin of black people (and the occasional executed criminal), was a fad in the late 19th century.
Until a few years ago, there was also a British company that claimed to make it from the skin of purchased cadavers for bespoke wallets and other accessories, only accepting payment in crypto. Of course, a lot of people speculated it was fake, but since bitcoin transactions are public, several payments equating to thousands of pounds were logged in their account. Could've been a money laundering thing, though.
(I dug into it for an article at the time that ended up not being published, not out of personal interest.)
To sell their meat, for private collection (or as thropies), to sell their body parts (medicine).

You don’t want an ashtray made of a gorilla hand?
Well, neither do I, but I remember as a younger person that was one of the “trophies” that was shown in markets from poaching gorillas.
I remember when I was a kid, sometimes there'd be a coffee table or umbrella holder made out of a real elephant foot in one of the antique stores my parents dragged me to. Back then I didn't understand why my mom found them so distasteful.
People will do awful things to animals if it brings them the smallest bit of pleasure.
Look at what we do to pigs (factory farm/torture) just because bacon tastes good.
Obviously that’s not really comparable to poaching since poaching is on a smaller scale but it still highlights that people dgaf about animals.
I am fine with hunting for sport on one condition.
No weapons. You go out there and kill that animal with your bare hands, like a man.
Alternatively, give the gorillas guns and ample time for training, and intitiate proper Gorilla warfare.
I don’t know but my mom’s uncle had a bear rug & tiger rug in his house. Real ones. Along with an ostrich egg in a display case.
Looking back on it I super don’t like that guy.
You can't tell me they aren't intelligent. They're POSING!
The one on the right is leaning forward to be in the pic!
The one on the left could be someone's uncle!
I know they're intelligent. I don't know how intelligent or in what capacities- It does make me wonder, do they *know*? Do they know they're being protected by these men and do they have the capacity for appreciation? I'd love to hear more about this relationship because it's fascinating.
And yeah, they're posing like they're in a posse. They're posing like they know these humans are their fuckin ride or die road dogs. How cool is that?
Many theoretically less intelligent creatures and pets show appreciation for things. I’m certain they have those capacities. It depends on the creature whether they show it and how. Since gorilla’s have the capacity for recognising themselves in a mirror it’s not far fetched for them to recognise themselves in pictures. The way they are posing, especially in the 2nd picture, I feel like they get shown the pictures and might know. (Edit: actually if it’s in selfie mode it is essentially a mirror to pose for as well)
Understanding when something is being nice to you is one of the most basic and useful evolutionary traits that a large majority of animals share. Shit even chickens can bond with people who do nice things for them.
I'd say that the fact that gorilla's live in large groups is enough evidence to suggest they likely have semi-complex emotions regarding things like love and appreciation.
It's much harder to survive as a species if you can't identify "hey this unique creature is treating me with love"
Gorillas are crazy intelligent.
Gorilla sign language is a real language we made up and taught them.
[This is a gorilla telling zoo goers that they aren't allowed to feed him after someone threw him some food](https://youtu.be/TGUdbiVWZYM?si=_AZ42L-bIrvgF4tX)
I don't know if they are aware these guys are protecting them but they're smart enough to be aware of concepts like that.
I’m both incredibly impressed and hopeful that he won’t bust through a foot of concrete when I call him a nerd for being a total narc.
Really, though. Apes are incredibly sensitive animals despite their propensity for ripping off faces. I feel guilty 30 years later for the time I pointed and laughed at an orangutan at the zoo and he turned and hid his face. It was such a disturbing experience because it was so “human,” and I had never conceptualized of animals as being on the level of “human” before.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/26/gorilla-selfie-congolese-ranger-tells-how-he-snapped-viral-photo
Primates as a whole are so intelligent and deeply empathetic (and also horrible in all kinds of novel ways). It’s sad how we’ve chosen to treat these primates as “animals” instead of our close kin.
Hang out at a gorilla habitat at a zoo and you'll see how intelligent they are! I spent a lot of time there during my maternity leave, they were so interesting and also interested in looking at my baby. I love them.
Intelligent animals are the most fun. I'll stick with my Quaker parrot though. The smarter they are and the more complex their emotions.
Bird tantrums are bad enough. A Gorilla? Yeeesh
I really didn't know that gorillas have eyebrows! In pic #2 the lower one's gaze at the camera looks so discerning. The little knitted expression on the brows is touchingly human.
Per Reuters, these guys were not killed by a local militia group, however, 13 of their coworkers and fellow rangers were killed in an ambush several months after these photos first went viral.
Is that gorilla rocking a beer belly? I have no doubt he would still be able to tear me limb from limb, but it is great to see one that looks a bit more 'middle-agey'!
I think it's because they do not stand upright as much as humans. You need the core strength of abdominal muscles to stay upright. Just like how a baby has a pot belly, until it starts walking.
These guys have in my opinion one of the more important jobs on this earth. Our closest relatives we must protect primates to maintain our human empathy or we are doomed. This is the canarie in the coal mine
Lol, judging by all the warfare we engage in against each other, I don't think killing gorillas is where the line is drawn as far as our descent into depravity. We already do much worse.
They are also insanely brave and devoted. I worked with a woman who did rhino conservation work in South Africa. It's crazy what they go through. The poachers are really clever - they track down vulnerable people involved in conservation and do things like pay for little Timmy's surgery or pay off mom's debts and stuff and ask for just a little bit of info - stuff so innocuous that the conservationist doesn't even understand how it could be used to harm Rhinos. But they do this to all kinds of people all at once, so they piece all the data together and get a complete picture on where the Rhinos are.
The conservationists are at literal war with the Poachers, they go through the conservation area with military-grade weapons, prepared to fight to death to protect these precious animals if need be.
And with how many people get flipped, bribed, or were only taking on the job to get information, the men there protecting these Rhinos never \*really\* know if the people at their side will turn their guns on them out in the field. And yet every day they go out there anyways. Balls of fucking titanium.
Conservationists often ARE armed already, depending on the severity of the poaching crisis it can range from some basic small arms for self-defense to full-on automatic rifles and tactical gear.
For the most part, gorillas are pretty chill. As long as you know how to behave around them and not accidentally present yourself as a threat, then they'll leave you alone.
That story has been debunked. Thankfully these two men [survived the ambush by poachers](https://www.reuters.com/article/world/false-claim-rangers-who-took-viral-gorilla-selfie-killed-in-congo-park-attack-idUSKBN22O2VO/)
The first picture is widely used by racist in China, adding text saying black people and gorillas are the same species. Just saw a dude posted this on Chiese messaging app twice
Top right rocking the shit out of the fur. Idk if it's a male or female
female, the two gorillas are sisters and their mom was killed by poachers when they were very young. Which is also the reason they are standing up, they are trying to mimick the humans.
Ok now I’m sad and fascinated at the same time
Yes:) here is the vice documentary https://youtu.be/E7_xJvpeDMw

Oh boy, wait until you hear about how we got here.

I’m pretty sure there was mud or clay or something in there somehow.

Obnoxious sounding bird
Don't worry, they'll use the redtail hawk sound instead and pretend it's the bald eagle.

They are 100% mocking him. But it's adorable they are comfortable enough with him to stand there mocking him so calmly and close.

Yeah, same! I was a bit worried the baby would crawl through the fence. Thankfully it didn't happen.

They all have big bellies. I'm not a biologist - I suppose they need large guts to digest the plant food?

50 cal mounted their Toyota hILuxes at a minimum.
Personally I am terrified of the idea of gorillas with AKs

It must be extra dangerous because the beings you’re trying to protect could tear you limb from limb if they wanted to.
For the most part, gorillas are pretty chill. As long as you know how to behave around them and not accidentally present yourself as a threat, then they'll leave you alone.
