Yikes, I didn't know they did that shit! My local zoo has a no direct contact policy with their gorillas and chimps. Gotta hand it to Jane Goodall!
Gorillas are more straight to business. They usually dont wanna fuck with you, but if they do, they'll just flatten you and be done with it.
Zoo gorillas though, I dunno. They're probably bored and pissed off
Gorillas are chill. They've got that wayyy stronger than anything around them but also eats plants Chad vibe. There had only been a single death by wild gorilla on record ever and it was in 1916 and dude was seemingly threatening some babies in a VERY specific wrong place and time situation. He was torn limb from limb and it was probably horrible, but gorillas overall are very gentle dudes.
So chimps are just psychopaths. What about orangutans?
I'd be less scared of one than a chimp but still very scared.
Baboons?
Nope. I'd only be okay around gorillas and bonobos.
The bonobos might try to fuck you tho... they fuck everything.
They're not that bad, they'll just steal your lunch and any food you have. They'll break shit to get to food, which can cause problems. Imagine a troop of baboons breaking into your house or car.

They actually sound pretty cool... think they'd accept me into the troop?
