Gorilla Trapping.

**Rain Man** · 01-17-2007, 09:22 AM

I'm pondering this question, but I first have to ask: lowland or mountain gorilla?

And for people who know me, you'll know that I'm going to be pretty mad if the answer is lowland.

This is whats bad....

"Man is gorilla's only enemy. Because of the actions of male gorillas protecting their groups with such determination from hunters, humans developed a folklore about the ferocity of gorillas. Gorillas' defense of standing and chest-beating make them a perfect target. Like all tightly knit social groups, gorillas will defend their young. They defend them with their lives."

Also...FYI...the daily routine of gorillas....just for those who attempt to trap it:

6am-8am: Wake-up
8am-10am: Eat
10am-2pm: Eat, play, relax, sleep
2pm-5pm: Travel 300-6,000 feet - foraging on the way
5pm-6pm: Build nest
6pm-6am: Sleep

Its very important to note that you need to learn their behaviors...such as the following:

Gorillas learn from their mothers and other adults what to eat, social and sexual behavior and how to rear young. They care for their babies with great affection, patience and playfulness. Energetic, mischevious youngsters are disciplined with stern vocalizations (pig-like grunts), body posturing and strong looks. Gorillas also chuckle, smile and purr. They are gentle and intelligent. Gorillas feel deeply and remember for years. Groups are not territorial and generally avoid each other, but when they do meet, sometimes threats and fighting occur, with the silverback remaining to challenge the attacker while the rest of the group flees. To intimidate his opponent, the silverback stands upright to appear larger, beats on his chest, roars, waves his arms, tears branches and charges. This is all done to frighten off, not harm, other males. Distress behavior includes diarrhea and strong, pungent body odor.

There's your answer. Go to his nest between 6pm and 6am and hit him in the head.

What's the difference, Mr. Rain Man? I was thinking the ones that live near trees. Is that mountain? Maybe the lowdown guys are easier to get, though.

Well, for those of you who don't pay attention, I discovered last year that I was adopted, and that I actually am a lowland mountain gorilla.

Oh. If it's mountain, that's fine. Those guys are dumbasses. I'll put together a plan.

This is too easy, just have Clint Eastwood saunter up to said gorilla & have him say "Bes'n you come along quietly, les'n you wind up dead" *spit*

The gorilla will not EVEN think about going for his peacemaker & will in fact come along quietly.
