Just a little monkeying around...
This is such a cute video. I don't think I'd have let my son play with gorillas, but it still makes for a cute video.
Interesting. I am not sure if this is a good idea in most cases. I think that this specific case might be one that breaks the mold. There is a well known family structure to gorillas and if they have been accepted as family, then probably there was nothing to fear. On the other hand, if these were chimps, forgetaboutit. Very dangerous.
All animals should be treated as having a will of their own and will act out on that. There are always exceptions to that ( think "Born Free"), but even domesticated animals like the horse, will act out when they feel in danger. Case; Christopher Reid was thrown from his freaked out horse.
So a toddler and a Gorrilla are playing around together, blah, blah, blah,...safety requirements and laws have changed blah, blah ,blah...mankind is destroying these majestic creatures, blah, blah, blah...

Adorable.
I wouldn't be surprised to see animal rights activists and the like to approach her forsupportasspokesperson. She is well spoken,knowledgeable about the subject, and the Camera loves her.
You're probably right. Well at least you'll probably be seeing more of her.
Hope spring eternal!
