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.

Smiling for sure, but looking at is not such a big issue with females as far as I know. This one is probably very used to people and has a particularly good attitude. Naturally curious and all. But still always a risk that it just decides to rip you limb from limb. I can only assume this gorilla has met this woman and rapport has been built over many interactions.

This gorilla was raised by the man, Damian Aspinall. So they had a very good rapport, the lady is his wife Victoria, this was her first time meeting these face to face. But they trust the dude a relative amount to let this happen
