A place where you can roam free and so do the gorillas? Scary. I wonder what the insurance premiums are on that facility? Lovely animals but I hesitate to think what might happen if...

Not too long ago I saw a movie about the woman who lived in an area populated by apes so that she could study them. The way that guy dealt with the gorillas is similar to how she got them comfortable with her. Not that I'd want to be in the same situation, but that's what I've heard is the way to be with any wild animal. Just be still for as long as you can. Any human movement can be considered threatening.
And if those guys have been studying those animals for a while, then I'm sure he was both scared and thrilled!
