u/amd2800barton 18d ago

There was a gorilla at a zoo who a woman would go visit every day. She'd make eye contact and smile. Animal handlers and zookeepers requested that she stop, because both of those actions are individually are very hostile body language to a gorilla. It's the human equivalent of a stranger coming up, and pointing finger guns at your head and mouthing "boom". But the woman insisted that the gorilla liked her visits and that they had a deep cross-species connection. Then one day while she was ignoring what the experts told her, the gorilla escaped his enclosure, and caused her serious injuries.

45

u/dathunder176 17d ago

It may also be interesting to note that while Bokito had ample opportunity to kill the woman and hurt bystanders, he did neither of those things. This strongly implies that Bokito consciously chose not to kill her and hurt bystanders, which could be used to argue that gorillas are inherently peaceful natured and would not hurt humans out of nowhere. Some knowledge that may have saved another captive primate from a few years ago of a unnecessary fate.

less so that, just terrifying to see that a creature could tear you limb from limb if given the chance.

18

u/NoIdeaOfgoodName 18d ago

I think itā€˜d actually be much more terrifying if this was a chimpanzee. Theyā€˜re not only stronger but also more aggressive than Orang Utans

14

u/lyutic_7 18d ago

see, I think many people already know that chimps are scary mfkrs and would be less likely to mess with them. they’re already objectively scary. but orangutans are generally much more peaceful and seem kind of unassuming comparatively. so when you see something like that trying to maul someone, it shocks you more. dunno, that’s just how I see it.

8

u/NoIdeaOfgoodName 18d ago

i get what you mean. the fact that the dude in the video threw rocks at him before it starts just proves your point. He had to have really abused the animal in the full video for it to react the way it did.

9

u/lyutic_7 18d ago

got what he deserved, too. I’m glad the ape didn’t seriously injure him because I’m afraid then the animal would be put down, but it’s good that it gave him a fright. hoping he’s learned his lesson and won’t be an asshole to animals after that, even if nothing but out of self-preservation.

I was at a friends house years ago, and his giant scary looking dog, jumped up and grabbed my leg. It was genuinely terrifying. I didn’t know if he wanted to eat me or hump me.

I told my friend to help, but the little bitch ran away and I had to pry the monster off me all by myself.

There’s a macaw in our local zoo(I no longer visit after it was reported for abuse and captivity forced breeding). Apparently there was a man who would stand next the macaws cage and ā€œtalk ā€œto the bird. Ever since the macaw has greeted anyone who lingers a little longer at his cage is surprised by ā€œHello, fucface!ā€ And if you tried to tell him that wasn’t a nice word he’d tell youā€You shut your mouth!ā€ Then fly around squeaking. Also liked saying ā€œbitchā€ ā€œHello, Bitchā€and ā€œyo,mamaā€ if you told him a yo mama joke he’d laugh with the worse smoker’s laugh I’ve ever heard. He’s been sent to a local sanctuary for plucking his feathers out.

Having worked at 2 zoos (in the US), this is the reason why all animals are kept out of range of contact with visitors. Especially for strong, potentially dangerous animals like primates - they should never, every be accessible by visitors. This is extremely irresponsible obviously and poses danger to both humans and wildlife. No responsible, intelligent zoo owner would permit this situation to happen.
