I once looked into the eyes of a Mountain Gorilla in the wild. He stared back at me with a gaze slicing right through my soul. It felt old, wise and above all, very intelligent. He was on to me. It made me feel small.

If you’ve ever experienced that, you’ll never question that gorillas and humans are very close cousins indeed.

That gorilla had a reverse Bigfoot sighting that he still tells the story of to anyone who will listen.
