It is highly possible that it is just making funny shapes with it's hands for a reward

scary right

You talking about koko?

probs ye

The issue really boils down to whether or not the gorilla really understands what it is doing

Is this really a self aware gorilla?

Or is it no different than a well trained dog?

there is a possibility it does though

yes

if so, should it have human rights?

It's not a human though

but it thinks on the same level as a human

If gorillas begin to become self aware we have a lot more issues to talk about

they may be self aware etc. but thye exist as a seperate species from us. They would treat us very differently and do treat us very differently and as an invasive species. Gorillas can kill a human rip them to shreds with absolutely no repercussion and no remorse

much like the rest of nature which is to some degree even self aware etc.

they can all think but the way and plane of thinking is so different and it has absolutely no room for us

Who would win a silverback gorilla or a brown bear? Serious question

Ah fuck

In most cases the bear would

depends on the environment

whilst both of them can climb, in most situations the silverback could probably climb and make the bear come to it

bruh a fucking monkey

then knock it down

do you know how heavier

than a bear is

a monkey

takes more than the weight of a gorilla to take down a tree

Bears are usually bigger

i mean on 1 side

the bear would also be alone, the gorilla would have more gorillas

we got a paw as big as any human head

no

that can severe it

on the other hand

this is a one on one question

a fucking 260 kg gorilla

that can charge and break your bones

@Swiss Cheese watch the video

bears are bigger and heavier

gorillas have a nasty bite
