It was sort of serendipitous I had recently seen "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." This video borders on freaking me out as to how real life is a lot closer to fantasy than I had anticipated.

Watch before seeing the Sci-Fi movie to gain an appreciation for how similar we are to our primate cousins.

What you're seeing is a man who raised a gorilla in a zoo (in England) for five years. Then the gorilla was released into the wild. The man decided to go find his friend a decade later. He did not anticipate the gorilla remembering him, but he wanted to try.

If you're impatient, skip to 1:00 for the action.
