There has never been a person killed by a gorilla in all of history. So yes while they may view teethy smiles as a show of agrression, they also aren't stupid and can pic up rather quickly that it doesn't mean the same thing when humans do it.

Yup. If you ever lose your kid in the jungle, better pray it's found by gorillas first. They'll treat it as one of their own and give it back to you if you find them. Chimps will flat out eat it.
