There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Quote:Here is the other video that I thought I posted...

@Pckts I know mate. The two links were exactly the same, so I deleted one, it make no sense to leave it there. This other is great as well, thanks. 

I found this here Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium:
As Kijito—yes, you may remember him—and Tatu recently proved, even male gorillas are super competitive.


The two were caught duking it out in a video that was posted to YouTube three months ago by a visitor and, just earlier this week, started gaining attention. Dan Houser, our curator of large mammals, recently addressed the behavior of our two boys, two of three bachelors in their habitat, saying “it was more of a shoving match” than a fight.

“On the gorilla scale, it’s no more than one kid pushing another kid. It’s how they establish who is dominant and who is submissive.”

In case you were wondering…

Just a shoving match, kids pushing each other. Can you imagine if this was for real?.... Amazing animals.
