My mouth fell open as I watched this endearing video of a Louisville Zoo gorilla being shown photos of other gorillas.  We understand so little about our amazing world. 

(Notice how he motions for the young boy to go to the next photo.)

Thank you so much for posting this.... just incredible.  Especially loved how he leans into the glass framework next to the boy to continue looking.... amazing.

Thanks for this.  Interesting video.  Do you know if the gorilla is male and was the boy showing him pictures of female gorillas?

My husband and I enjoyed this cute video very much. Gorilla's are quite intelligent..  Loved the selfie..

@ValuSkr  No, I have no idea as to the gender of any of the gorillas, but it is an interesting question.

@Suziepeach   I found it amazing how quickly this gorilla caught on that the young man was controlling the images, as well as how to signal that he was ready to view the next photo.    Did you notice, too, that he was so focused on the photos that he paid little attention to that beautiful little girl standing nearby? 

  I hope this young man never forgets his personal encounter with this magnificent creature.

I wonder if they could buy the gorilla a picture book or something like that.

@Bird mama   I wish they could give him an indestructible camera to shoot his own photos.  It would be fascinating to see what he would photograph.

  I handed my camera to our 3 year-old grandson once.  His first photo was of his foot, to show off new Super Hero shoes.  After reviewing his work, he exclaimed, "Wait!  I have another one!"  then promptly took a shot of his other foot.

Wasn't that the coolest ?

I also really loved the video of the Orang, I think it was, that was staring and almost caressing an infant held by a human mother. It was a real tear-inducing moment between two females. The connection and looks they shared were awesome
