Touched by a mountain gorilla...literally - UPDATED

Uganda:
Bwindi Impeneterable Forest
December, 2011

A friend passed on this truly wonderful video and said:
If you ever saw “Congo” those gorillas we costumed – these are the real silver backs!

UPDATE:

Several years ago my husband and I watched a documentary about Julia Roberts and her visit into a jungle where she encountered an Orangutan...here's some videos I just found:

Shorter version (but shows how they got him off her):

Longer version (but cuts out how they got him off her):

In the documentary, they cut it off so we never knew what they did to the ape...at the end of the longer video above, it shows an interaction with him finally walking away.

It was obviously a very emotional experience for her.
