Loading...Video of the Year: Wild Mountain Gorillas Sniff, Kiss & Groom Man’s Head
Watch this amazing chance encounter with a troop of wild mountain gorillas near Bwindi National Park, Uganda. Be patient for the first minute of the video, which is an introduction to the footage you’re about to see. It’s well worth the wait…I promise you’ve never seen anything like this.

+ add your ownWow! That was so amazing!
How cool was that? I would have been scared and excited at the same time. These gorillas seemed so calm, like they were visiting an old friend. That was so cool.
thanks for sharing :)
that was outrageous!!!
Omg!! I would be so terrified of the silverback! Any one of those gorillas could have inflicted bone-breaking power on any of the people filming/watching.
So touchingly beautiful. These primates are so fantastic and strong, humbling to be in their presence.
Once-in-a-lifetime experience!
That was amazing,that was such a high and watching that in my living room!!
Kimberley H. “I do not think that humans should interact with the gorillas at all”.
The secondary school I attended had a total of 770 pupils - approximately the same number as the remaining population of wild mountain gorillas. Educating the local people to value the gorillas and getting the message to the wider world is critical. People who are allowed into the Bwindi National Park in Uganda have a special licence to be there. Those who have access to the National Park gorillas include those who work with the African Wildlife Foundation. Other visitors are closely screened. Humans intent on harming the gorillas would be a problem irrespective of the official protection in-place. This video has been circulated for the benefit of Mountain Gorilla conservation.
