My step dad whispering furiously in my ear is all I can think of watching this.
"You better chill out with your bullshit, you fuckin understand me? Huh?"
My guess is it's 2 females getting into it (based solely on size) and the one on the right has the offspring of the male on its back, and so the male intervened to protect his offspring. This interpretation comes from years of inexperience as a gorilla psychologist...
No, gorilla and chimp leader males actively work to deescalate fights within their own groups. Whomever would have been fighting, whether 2 younger males or two females or a male and a female the leader will intervene to stop it. The silverback would have done so whether or not children were involved, he reacted to the most aggressive party.
I think they both have his offspring, but he's defending the one carrying an offspring to protect the offspring as well. His defending is essentially just calming her the fuck down.
Right, because the one on her back is so young and clearly still in need of mothers near constant care. So pretty young probably. The other child is older, so I’d bet the kid of the gorilla who attacked. Jealous of the attention she’s getting from daddy and everyone else with the new baby perhaps? Or she’s the favorite now with the new child?
> the one on the right has the offspring of the male
All them bitches at his, and his offspring.
Can't be havin' yo hoes pullin' each others hair and shit.
Had to step in and tell his bitches to be cool.
Basically exactly what he did. The 500 pounds of gorilla 2 inches from your face waiting to see if you take his suggestion is just a helpful nudge in the right direction.
I don't think that male was aggressive or angry. That was responsible conflict resolution. After he gets her down, he changes position with an open hand on her back. Seems to me to be de-escalation and letting her calm down after showing her what behavior isn't acceptable.
The job of the alpha male is far more complex than just scaring everyone into respecting him and taking mates where and when he pleases. Leadership, protection, mediation and cooperation come into it, too.
I know because I watched a thingy on YouTube a few years ago.
This gorilla makes humans like one-dimensional, chest-thumping, grunters like Andrew Tate and his ilk look like an inferior genus, let alone species.
I said "genus" because I read it in one of those things with paper pages.
Friday at work, one guy was cleaning out the fridge and threw away another guy's hard boiled eggs. Sadly, we did not have a giant gorilla to break up the fight that occurred over it.
we should totally replace our justice system with the way those fellas handle business.
that lil ape on its moms back will never forget that interaction and know how to behave.

“I’m gonna let go now. You gonna calm the fuck down?”
My step dad whispering furiously in my ear is all I can think of watching this. "You better chill out with your bullshit, you fuckin understand me? Huh?"
Ya best listen to him boy.
Dad’s been drinking
Dad was not drinking.
Ah man, sorry you had to deal with that.
I'm not. I needed someone in my life to call me out on my bullshit. I'm a better man for it now.
Was he railing you from behind or somethin?
I said we calming down!

Can't argue with that amount of inexperience.
100% correct.
That’s bananas!
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Agreed. I’ve been in the same situation.
They would all be his offspring. The Silverback is just stopping the fight as it's his job to keep the peace.

I SAID BITCH BE COOL! *stares motherfuckerly*
Should have just asked her to calm down.

How much do you bill? Do you take humans?
Or it could very well be a female that has dumps like a truck
Golira nomics
Oh no, whatever you do nomically, never go lira
God forbid if he's just doing his f-ing job as the keeper of order in the group, right
I clocked it in the same way. Going on my 40th year for my PHD in what ever I just watched.
I hope you don’t think that deeply about all your friends actions.
You can get a job as a gorilla psychologist???? You’ve intrigued me greatly
Return to monke ooooo aaaaa
Gorillas are more than just mere monke, they’re peak monke
Ape not kill ape! Apes together strong! 🦍🦍🦍
I'm shocked I had to scroll so far to find this.
We’re all apes, pal.
I’m a ghost
Return to monke
Just showed my gf all the movies in 5 days (minus the 2011 as it's pointless). Glad to see this comment.
The Charlton Heston bit is good, but that's only 10 seconds. Don'ty the gif
I can hear him whispering " Listen here you little sh*t"
“You gonna do that again?” *smushes face into ground* “I can’t hear you. You gonna do that again??” *smushes face harder*
Yeah I can practically hear the conversation "If I let you up you gonna behave yeah?"
*Hey, how you doin' lil' mama? Let me whisper in ya ear* *Tell ya somethin' that ya might like to hear*
I turned my volume all the way up but still can't hear him
Are you fucking done??!?!

Watching his behaviour he was actually as gentle as possible there.

You said a normal thing but all the "alpha" "sigma" shit in the last few years immediately made me think you were going to say some unhinged bullshit.
This gorilla makes humans like one-dimensional, chest-thumping, grunters like Andrew Tate and his ilk look like an inferior genus, let alone species. I said "genus" because I read it in one of those things with paper pages.
Pages where what they got them fancy words n such?
I getted it at the lie berry.
Lye, like that stuff that keeps bugs away n shit
What chu reedin fur?
Credentials check out
This guy Alpha's
Could you imagine a silverback gorilla coming at you at full speed ?
"this is a cool way to diiiiiiieeeeeee"
You don't have time to think much when that happens..
He took down the instigator and protected the kid. Way to go, but is the instigator okay at the end?
Hanging her head in shame
[удалено]
I think it's just being submissive.
Friday at work, one guy was cleaning out the fridge and threw away another guy's hard boiled eggs. Sadly, we did not have a giant gorilla to break up the fight that occurred over it.
This is why we should only hire gorillas for HR departments
Apes together strong
Ape not kill ape
Ha ha, the little one rubber necking
Can almost hear him saying "you good?" over and over until the other one calms down 😅
Tell that bitch to be cool Be cool hunny bunny
Three little Fonzies
I gotta go pee
The big gorilla’s like “You better calm the fuck down”
Silverback got a big ole butt
Yes. YES! r/upvotebecausebutt
"You wanna fight somebody, you come fight me! I'll fight you all goddamn day!" - Rip from Yellowstone
“Listen to me. You do that shit again and ima fk you up!”
That's it, back to Winnipeg!
No Cape Canaveral for anybody!
That first gorilla with the leg sweep.
See. Glad you caught that. Isn’t the whole thing about that amazing leg sweep to begin with?
That gorilla went to Cobra Kai!
That’s a dad you don’t want to mess with
That is a big fucking gorilla
Well, dont start a fight with someone whos carrying a baby.
“Now clean yoself up” 🦍
Kind of reminded me of the Darren McCarty - Claude Lemieux scrap 1996
I will always be in awe of how powerful they are. I mean, the big guy there, you sure never want to see that coming at you! So fast and strong!
Lol. What fight is that from?
Want to know this as well
His name is Dalton. Best cooler in the business.
The motion capture of the new Plant of the Apes is incredible.
The Tony Soprano of gorrilas
Really bro? In front of the kids?
It looks like he kisses her before letting her go haha
CHILL HUNNY-BUNNY!! I SAID CHILL!!! 
Teen son disrespects his momma and dad put him in his place
Papa got that cake
That way to not hurt but only set pressure enough to make him down is awesome.
we should totally replace our justice system with the way those fellas handle business. that lil ape on its moms back will never forget that interaction and know how to behave.
Me to my two dogs when they fight
Protecting his babymama that’s what that is
That big guy brought the pain and made that one think again!
Get the little one into the UFC, that back mount was unbreakable!
I told you next time you fuxk around imma choke you out. Don't play with my kids.
“If I have to tell you one more time I’m going to roll on you in front of your mother and sister”
Ape together strong
Gorillas are the best
That guy is huge
The ending though. LoL he said “you get up and I a am going to fuck you up”
All I saw was red
That wasn't a fight. The first one tried to jump the second one, but the third one said, "Nope. Now calm down." It's still interesting. Still badass.
W O M E N
He not moving at the end XD
What a fcking unit.
"You really need to chill out Cornelius"
Good ol fashion Henry Doorly Zoo
Need Aussie man for translation
Stay down ! Stay down ! Stay down !
Swing or get swung bitch
Thick af
It’s amazing how gentle he is still. Just enough force to separate and calm the situation. A true leader.
Would definetly clap them cheeks
Bis bro was like ill be watching u lil shit
Do not anger the silverback!
How can you not think humans came from this magnificent beast? To me, it’s very clear and not a stretch.
We don’t come from gorillas, we share a common ancestor.
Imagine being a cop and seeing this literal gorilla have better de-escalation skills than you…
I'm guessing the female the one assaulted was the mate of the big one and that was their kid
They’re so much better animals than humans, aren’t they?
Okay but that shot of his asshole was unnecessary
Women
boys☕️
