Kifu: Hello everyone, this is my oldest son Damian. Im proud of him but, I have no idea why he is albino. Scratch my back boy.
jajajajaajajajajajajajajaj
Lol wow u are stupid. Its not an ape baby clearly he is a human . He is speaking american for god sakes
@@bart4543 Good God I hope that is sarcasm.
@@bart4543 how stupid are you
@@bart4543 I know right?!? These people need to wear a glasses smj
Gorilla’s children : hey dad we are your kids remember? Gorilla: No this yellow haired creature is my true son
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He really pushed his kids away, like leave your uncle alone.
@@zachburskey8868 No he doesn't... watch his hand.
hahaha
Is he a sayan?yellow hair?i see.they are apes too.
Never has someone been in so much danger while at the same time being so insanely well protected.
I know man, that's insane!
0:55 I love how Kifu pulls you back in as if he’s like “no, kid, this is my human, back off, i want his attention only.” 😂😂
the gorillas doing his own documentary like "this is my pet named damian, sometimes he likes to bring cameras and play with them."
Hahahahaha i cant with this comment🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same, I mean who is petting who here
kkkkkkk
Hahahahahahahahahahahah
Loool I can't unsee it.
what a privilege to be so close to such a powerful, beautiful creature
lucky gorilla.
Amen...
Yeah, until it has a bad day
@@matthewlewis9996 Go away.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 why? Cause bear's don't have bad day's? 😏. Whatever bud
My god his hands are enormous. I get the sense he easily has the strength of at least several humans.
It’s been said their strength is immeasurable
i read that testing says the average gorilla has ten times the strength of the average man
Ye they are incredibly Strong. Theirs a video of a silverback dragging a man With one arm. Gorillas are No push over.
try 20 x 30
The Gorilla likes him and trusts him .what a sweetheart
"There's no doubt he would protect me if someone attacked me..." No one's going to attack you dude😂😂....
That'd be like actually approaching DIO without being an angry japanese teenager.
@@CaptainBuggyTheClown hOHOhO a JoJo reference can be found in the most unlikely of places
@@rokmun680 wtf is this Jojo shit explain please
@@ishansaha24 weeb shit, dont look any closer into it unless u wanna see some dirty stuff
He also says i would protect him, Like he would need help lol
Kifu would make a better friend than some people I know.
Harambe too.
Most*
No sht…. 🙄
Most .....
Same here!!
Man how awesome is that chest tapping exchange!!?? Damian shows his style then Kifus like "naah dude like this bruh" then a quick wrestle like a couple of life long friends. Absolutely incredible
It must be an honor to share the same space with such a magnificent creature 🦍
I like how he put his hand on the human's shoulder and head like "hey mate, how are you today?"
Yeah that was cool
Did you say "on the human shoulder "? That's weird. are you a human?
“You are with me now hooman! Aint going anywhere”
@@arnaudguigui6174 Damn, you got me...I was an alien in disguise :(
That was cool
I love how kifu grabs him as he is walking away then pushes him and runs away The nature of play has no boundaries
He part of the family
Он держит этого человека в заложниках, пока его не выпустят
Kifu and his children are beautiful. They are so loyal and loving towards Damian. Watching this is really incredible because people and animals can be best friends and even part of our family.
It’s so heartbreaking how few of these magnificent creatures are left in the wild. 😢
They alot in drc congo and Congo brazaville
@@sindanonegongo1199 Not as many as you might think.
2:04 how incredibly gentle the gorilla is with this man. it may not look like it, but with a gorilla that size, that’s as gentle as handling a baby kitten. i’m amazed. this is beautiful
They are very calm, very gentle giants even very shy. But make no mistake about it piss one off and it will rip you limb from limb.
Yeah nice
@@theonewhoismany8072 nah, that's a chimp. a gorilla will just punch you with the force of a train and snap you in two with one hit
And there is one that had a pet kitten.
not quite...I'm 6ft6 and 348 lbs and I'd be small in the WWE...- but they are still impressive.
Lol 1:05 the gorilla is like “you’re my pet now. You’re cute!” I love gorillas they are amazing
Amazing
Amazing
Amazin'
Amazin
1:04 Kifu: "I'm proud of you, boy. Very proud indeed!"
We really need to see a full hour of Damian or anyone hanging out with Kifu.
When a gorilla asks you to scratch it's back you pretty much have to
Yes .. to not get ripped apart.. that's wildlife mafia
Yes indeed other wise your ass will be mango and mash
@@bondjames-bond7664 no the gorilla wont do that obviously gorilla's are peaceful and shy unless they are disrespected by a stranger
@@Thecoldwind650 disrespectful to say no to a king
@@boinkingyamumsohardithurts12 i mean disrespectful like a threat or something not scratching it's back
1:29 Lvl 99 philosopher complete..
Damian is amazing I watched where he sent his gorillas back to the wild, and thewholestoryiwas crying but happy tears,he is truly and 100000% doing what' his goal always was to return them to the wild,thankyou Damian,there is too many people making primates live miserable existence s,keep up the good and long hard work for the cause of primates,and animals.
It's really amazing how much they look like us... ESPECIALLY the big male... He looks like a big old man... like a Philosopher or something.

Gooseman2k2 I always think this!!! Wise old man to be cherished, loved, and respected!
When you say "us" I take it you mean your family and friends.
My wife asimulates me as a silver back. Hairy, large and equally as good looking...
Imagine a Group of Gorillas hunt down some Humans to cut of their Hands and use them as Ashtrays. That's what fucking Humans do!!!
The push at the end 😂 you can tell that he really enjoys the company
What this Man and his foundation are doing for these gentle giants is amazing! If only humans could learn from these beautiful animals!
I love how he avoids making eye contact
Gorilla puts his arm on the guy's shoulder's ands like " Do you feel incharge..?"
Neil a vi LMAO
Haahaha
😂😂😂
Bane!!!
so true😂😂😂😂
11 years on and I am still in love with these two. I am praying that they are both still alive and well with their respective families.
Damien is alive but I don't know about the gorillas. They do have a long lifespan so they probably are
@shellos8 in the wild, gorillas can live up to 40 years while in captivity they live twice as long than in the wild because they don't get killed by poachers and are protected in sanctuaries and zoos.
@@idominusrex5952Jesus, 80 years? Seems a bit long.
Kifu was shot and killed for being black by the local constables.
@@bobertjones2300 Source..?
Corrupt youtube keeps deleting my posts but i wrote before that when i last went there 18yrs ago me and my dad at the time was at the other end of the enclosure while everyone else and other gorillas at other end, the silverback was at the end with just me and my dad as we watched a silverback litteraly laughing at a man who was struggling to get his bycicle through a narrow doorway and we looked at eachother so shocked but it was awesome! 😂 i love these animals! ❤
He's like that one drunk guy in the party that gets overly honest, "Ya know what Damien? I didn't like you at first, but now? Yer all right. I love ya dude."
0:56 that's such a deep voice, imagine if it was able to talk
He would probably sound like Michael Clarke Duncan
@@nope1083 he would sound like shaq
@@lucasimonelli5038 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😹
Wonderful creature, gentle, considering his incredible power.
Yet they killed Harambe for FAR less than this...
@@JonHop1 please dont remind me
I love how Damian shows the bond/trust between him and Kifu, yet also emphasizes on Kifu's incredible strength and power with these quick edit cuts 🦍
What a beautiful gorilla! Thanks to this gentleman for being such a good friend, and looking out for Kifu.👍🏻
0:36 the fact he didn't crap his pants right there is pretty amazing.
pretty sure that he can tell the difference between a yawn and a threat
Gorilla: You owe me a favor. Guy: scratches Gorilla's back
Wow even when he is being gentle....his strength is unavoidable!
Damian, the work you and your foundation does is amazing! I love gorillas so much and the work you do for them warms my heart. What a privilege it is to be able to sit and play with such a beautiful animal.
beautiful animals. How some humans could point a gun at one of these and kill it is totally beyond me.
Same way AS killing a human , they dont care
The humans that do that are the ones whom have not evolved, they are evolutionary dead ends and should actually be the ones that should go extinct.
It's human nature to be cruel and nasty.
@Razh 80 gorillas are dangerous, make no mistake. They are wild animals. And have incredible strength and athleticism. All It Takes Is One Time For THEM and THE Human They Go Off On Is dead OR seariously injured They Are Not pets..
It’s take a stupid idiot to point a gun at one of these
I don't know what to say. This actually tears me up. Amazing. True friendship.
You ever see the vid with Coco the gorilla and Robin Williams? If not,look it up now
Thanks for showing us this video Damian. We need to see these lovely interactions, so that we can learn and understand how to love and respect these noble creatures.
The way he grabbed his pants like "wait" lol
Soo cute
MAGNIFICENT animal! Absolutely STUNNING! And I love how this man interacts with him. You feel the bond, while watching this. A priviledge to be able to watch this. Thanks a lot.
Please read my comment. June White.
So amazing to have the chance to interact with the Gorillas the way you do😊💕
Friggin wow. Going in there with that animal so strong we can't really even measure it and him so gentle. What an incredible creature.
1:02 "Good pet, I pat."
ahhaha
I loooove the noises they make. So intimidating and majestic 🙌
I cannot imagine that wonderful feel when is holding you. This is something amazing that we cannot buy with money. Well done.
Qué valor meterte ahí con él ! Felicidades 👏
*dude tries to get up* Gorilla: No, no, no; come back here. You ain't going nowhere. You're my bitch now.
That is truly beautiful. That gorrila could just playfully bitch slap him with no effort and his head would do a 180 degree. The gorilla and the man really trust each other and love one another. This video could really teach a lot about being humane.
Absolutely brother!
I mean I could punch and kick my friends strong enough to kill them and I don't, and there's nothing special about that, these are gentle and understanding creatures, not violent monsters, so of course it won't kill him.
@@numbdigger9552 yeah well a gorrila could do it with alot less effort.
@@numbdigger9552 you're a human and that gorilla was still wild animal
БОЛЬШОЕ СПАСИБО ЗА ТАКОЕ ПРЕКРАСНОЕ ВИДЕО ♥♥♥
Oha, Respekt. Neben einem so großen Tier zu sitzen und mit diesem zu spielen. Da muß Vertrauen ohne Ende vorhanden sein
Amazing how much kifu accepts him like a brother.
This is BEAUTIFUL! The love the both of you have for each other is so heartwarming! Thank you for sharing this with us.❤
I always find my way back to this video. Such beautiful, majestic living beings. Love them.
Thank you for trying to enrich this animal's life. He's majestic.
It's truly like 2 really good friends hanging out on a Sunday watching the game or race, possibly have 1 or 2 beers, while the kids are playing/running through the house.....this stuff is AMAZING & IM JEALOUS, lol.
he's beautiful how precious is he he's a big boy god bless him and you sir
He is absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for sharing this experience. I so wish the video had been longer. I really enjoyed watching your interaction with Kefu. I wish I could get in with a gorilla family, spend time with them playing and just visiting, getting ti feel how their fur and skin feels, as I am curious about that. Wonderful video…lucky you!😊
1:49 sick dodge
1:24 DAT FACE...
"Watchoo lookin att?? Its just a ooomann scractchinn ma nutz"
What magnificent Beasties these are, l could just watch them for hours. You are so fortunate to have been granted as part of the family.
The look on Kifu’s face is, “You do realize I could snap you like a twig at any moment, right?”😮
The noises he makes
The bond is beautiful!!! Such beautiful beings!! May the universe bless them
Wow! That's a member of a pretty violent and dangerous species, but he's acting relatively calm and gentle here!! Oh, and that gorilla's pretty chill too.
His last line kinda ruined your joke.
Kifu is like:" Hey kids get out! Im with my buddy, go play somewhere else!"
He IS a lovely boy. Great animal. Thank you Sir for sharing this gorilla with us.
Remarkable animals. But I'd never underestimate one especially in an enclosure. He must have built up a huge amount of trust.
Yes, his father John Aspinall created this place and used to spend time with the gorillas too. Damian has been interacting with them since he was a baby
I love when the gorilla was petting his head, as if he was saying, "i love this pet human", or he always wondered what his "human' fur" felt like on the mans head. I love that theres that respect and friendship between them, they really understand n trust one another, true friends without compromise.💞💞💞
Gorillas are very smart and intelligent loving animals always learning something new each day from the gorillas we the people could learn alot from the gorillas love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock thanks ! Joe
These animals are so wonderful. That silverback is so friendly and trusting.
Gosh my heart jumps to my throat when I see the large gorilla hand go toward Damian.
*Takes off 2 layers of skin "he thinks he's tickling me now"
Most amazing relationship I've ever seen. I live this man, but that gorilla is awesome.
"He's a WILD gorilla so he let's me know he's Boss" , this is easily the rarest relationship I've ever seen.
I like how Kifu handles him like his little brother or his son
Damnit, why couldn't the Harambe incident have turned out like this
Because the Head Keeper Lost it NO BRAIN Should not be in Charge of animals his reaction has NO EXCUSE THAT IS WHY IT HAS STAYED IN EVERYONE's MEMORY HE WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MALE STILL SAD
All dicks out for harambe! Never forget !
@mc finn The parents are just as to blame. The mother wasn't paying attention and the child shouldn't of been there if he wasn't going to behave. Don't bring a child to a zoo if you can't control them and supervise them properly.
Suggie Thames Harambe was ambush trapped set by humans All he ever wanted was a survival of his race
mc finn The parents are also to blame, they were literally the reason why their child even fell into the gorilla pit
What a privilege to be amongst these beauties... Brave man.x
Amazing...powerfull and yet so gentle! ❤
I'm fascinated by these beautiful mighty animals .
Oh my goodness. He is beautiful. Incredible that he is so friendly and loves to play. I love these fantastic beasts. ❤️🤲🏻
It's like you're at a biker bar and you're stuck with a guy that keeps telling you "just one more drink!"
What an amazing feeling it would be to interact with such beautiful beings! Cant say the same for most humans!
You can tell watching him he has enormous strength
Que animal incrível ,sinta se privilegiado por esses momentos gloriosos.
Such a blessing to be aloud such close association with a very beautiful animal.
Magnificent!!!!! What an HONOR to hang with these incredible creatures!!!
Imagine if Kifu played rugby, his fends would be crazy.
What a powerful animal and so gently.
Gorilla is like human😍
Wow such a powerful gorilla being so gentle. They are amazing
I like how he pushed the young one away like he was jealous 😍
Absolutely amazing!!!! What a beautiful, magnificent creature.
eu fico muito feliz com esse cara que se preocupa e cuida dos gorilas , já vi outros documentários dele parabéns
Incredible pictures - superb animal; and young Mr Aspinall has a great deal more courage than I have!
I bet you'd feel like the safest person in the world just chilling with a fully grown gorilla knowing you are friends with him and that he would protect you like a guard dog.
He looked so small while staying in the hay... Until he raised up and we can see how big he is compared to the human.
