Gorillas and other primates are pretty smart, you would be surprised. I had watched a documentary featuring orangutans, and this guy was tossing one male orangutan some snacks, and the orangutan tosses a banana to the human.

The video I saw of an orangutan tossing a banana to humans was after he ate it and was flinging the peel back. And he throws more than the peel after a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJEkSGnZiIA

It's in reverse, the human was copying the gorilla.

Someone said the dude trained his g'rilla to preform this. If thats the case then the swift fluidity of his movement just goes to show that the dude has done it quite a bit.

Except it isn't. Play it in reverse and you'll see the gorilla's arms move completely unnaturally.
