The singing is like happy humming. The intense black of the gorillas and the intensity of the green of the plants is a beautiful combination.

“They live in a semi-permanent state of flatulence.” I’m glad it’s not just me. 😛

This is the most adorable thing I've seen all week! I love that they sing from both ends. lol

This ended up not being the kind of "magical" I was expecting... But I wouldn't say I'm disappointed at all.

I came to hear Gorilla's sing melodies and I left hearing bum notes.

"They live in a semi-permanent state of flatulence. " So did my dad!

[jeepfvr]

When I was a kid, my dad would say to me, "are you a smart feller or a fart smeller?"

So, now we know Gorilla’s sing from both ends. 🤣

Monke: *Shits Aggressively

Gorillas: *singing to mask sound of farts*

Humans: ”Write that down, write that down!!”

[pilotpeego]

I learned three things today. Gorillas eat 40 lbs of food, sing, and fart all day. Now that's gratitude!

[pirbiphx]

"These humans seriously think we believe this thing is one of us. We fart in it's general direction."

[rahulhingve]

What they said : gorillas singing....
What they show : gorillas farting....
You simply can't trust media these days....

[Caneyhead]

They aren’t even laughing at the farts. So primitive
