These silverback gorillas are so lovely! They just amaze me with their intelligence and the wee ones have such playful ways.

Coincidentaly, I just watched Gorillas In The Mist a couple of days ago. Amazing woman, Dian Fossey. Wonderful movie!

So very cool I understand he isn't the first one in his family to walk like this. Maybe he could teach Jock how to walk upright.

Gorillas have always walked upright, they simply prefer all fours for physical reasons. I watched the second video and he may be doing it to make himself look bigger. If you notice in the second video there are 2 other gorillas closing in on him. It could be politics.
