Gorilla Reunion
OVER 25 MILLION VIEWS
In the African jungle, conservationist Damian Aspinall searches for Kwibi, a lowland gorilla he hasn't seen for 5 years. Kwibi grew up with Damian at his Howletts Wild Animal Park in England. When he was five, he was released into the forests of Gabon, West Africa as part of a conservation programme to introduce gorillas back into the wild. Now Kwibi's 10 years old, much bigger and stronger. Will Kwibi attack him?
The video was specially created for YouTube from the TV series Gorilla School produced by Aqua Vita Films.
