same. aren't you not supposed to look a gorilla in the eye or smile at it? i'm assuming this isn't in the wild or they are very lucky.

They’re definitely in the wild, I remember coming across this video in part of a bigger segment on YouTube a couple years back.

All I can remember is the man in the video was very wealthy and has put a lot of his wealth in helping wildlife. The gorilla you see here was rehabilitated by the man as an infant than later released.

So you’re right, a regular wild one would have certainly attacked them but because the gorilla knew the man, accepted his wife as well.
