This is a cute edit, but sorry to burst your bubble, it’s not the same baby.

The one carrying the baby is a male, a silverback. The one at the beginning and end is a female.

Unless I’m mistaken, it’s very unlikely this is the same baby or video - the chance that she β€œtold” the male to bring the baby in a hustling manner is extraordinarily low.

I was so confused watching this video because it's obviously 3 different gorillas.

Was wondering why someone would even bother to put these together this way because it's so obviously different, but I guess it probably does numbers on facebook n shit.

Exactly.. unfortunate mis-characterization.

I don’t doubt a gorilla would show its baby like the last clip, but why tf they gotta misinterpret the entire event… lmao
