  • Gorilla

    This happened at Jersey Zoo in the Channel islands.
    The Silver back Gorilla was call Jambo who died a few years later.
    There is a monument in his name at the zoo. He was a beautiful friendly creature.
    The reason why nobody went in for a while is because the Gorilla needed to be sure that the boy wasnt going to be harmful and he was protecting his own family.
    Those people that know anything about Gorillas know that they are territorial and do not like their space invade, Remind you of anyone???????
    The boy was absolutely fine and was the contributor to Jambos brass sculpture.

  • Help me, somebody please !!

    For I'm being attacked by animal right activists !! If the gorrillas are peaceful beings then why the rush by the bystanders to that child's aide to get him out that desparate situation. Maybe it's me, but the gorillas don't appear to be 1st aide trained.

  • Classic gorilla behavior

    old video - but always a classic - once again proving how misunderstood gorillas are and how arrogant humans are in believing they are the only ones capable of kindness. There has never been a case of a gorilla killing a human - too bad we can't say the same thing about us

  • Amazing

    That child had angels looking after him because those gorillas could have tore him apart long before help arrived !!
    The gorillas themselves deserve credit for their self restraint !!

    • Gorillas are peaceful

      They're vegetarians, not hunters. It's just Hollywood that tries to portray them as being vicious.

    • WRONG!

      Gorillas are peacfuly but and they are vegetarians but when you invade their space/ threaten their young they'll fight til the death.
      According to http://www.koko.org/about/facts.html
      It says this
      PREDATORS

      "Man is gorilla's only enemy. Because of the actions of male gorillas protecting their groups with such determination from hunters, humans developed a folklore about the ferocity of gorillas. Gorillas' defense of standing and chest-beating make them a perfect target. Like all tightly knit social groups, gorillas will defend their young. They defend them with their lives."

    • you are ignorant

      You need to watch the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet or at least go back to school before you make comments about gorillas - you obviously don't know anything about gorilla behavior

    • Kevin is fine

      The kid's name is Kevin and it was a long time ago - in the 80's. Kevin has since become a zoologist himself and works with gorillas. Jambo the silverback had passed away a few years after the incident from natural causes - a statue is erected at the zoo in his honor.

  • Nothing News

    Back in kenya we have a young Oryx adopted by a lioness, a young hippo adopted by a giant tortoise.... all animals have the element of motherly kindness just like humans... but even the best of society has its evil doers... animal become ferrosious only when they are provoked or driven by hunger!!!!
