That “look” isn’t aggression… it’s a silverback deciding if you’re worth worrying about. 🦍 #Gorilla #Silverback #Wildlife #Nature #Animals

Watch this. Superbat gorillas are incredibly intimidating. I understand that, but they are actually mostly peaceful almost all the time. I think one of the biggest misconceptions about gorillas like superbat gorillas is that they are just very aggressive all the time. It couldn't be farther from the truth. They actually will choose peace over aggression, 99% at the time, and they really don't cause a bunch of harm to many things. They eat leaves and fruits and veggies and all those type of things, limbs off of trees, they don't eat meat, so they're not constantly going after other animals like say a grizzly bear would be. They were constantly trying to attack other prey or find fish in the river or whatever they have to do to survive. Gorillas really just live their life in a peaceful way, eating leaves and things like that, and you can see this one. Although he's looking around and it looks like he is very serious, they really just are curious animals and they pan the area a lot of the times just trying to figure out what's going on, what's around them because they are in charge of their troop leading them around and taking care of the family.
