    That's awesome. Gorillas and chimps are certainly smart buggers. And they could kill you in an instant. It's nice to see them so gentle and loving.

    Here's another...

    “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    We could learn something from most animals. In this case their memory of their good treatment from these people led them to return the favor years later. Of course these are people who are used to reading the body language of the great apes. Interestingly, even totally wild gorillas are usually only curious about humans.

    love seeing the creator's work like this.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
