he's still a looker.

[–]ninja_chopping_onion 16 points17 points ago

It looks like a small old hairy man with oversized nostrils.

Cute.

[–]monkeybreath 10 points11 points ago

Why do gorillas have big nostrils? Big fingers.

[–]DownWithTheShip 1 point2 points ago

Why do people have such small nostrils and fingers?

[–]SirTubz 5 points6 points ago

So you're saying it looks like Danny Devito?

[–]dingobiscuits 6 points7 points ago

in my head he's going: "ooh ooh ooo aah aaah aaah ahh..."

[–]Random-but-Loven 18 points19 points ago

that thing is so ugly that its adorable, that my heart skipped a beat

[–]treelovinhippie 8 points9 points ago

1.75% difference in DNA between humans and gorillas.

[–]Random-but-Loven -1 points0 points ago

weird. well we had ti evalutuonize from something

[–]R3MY 2 points3 points ago

Tell me about it. My friends' baby didn't look entirely unlike this baby.

For a gorilla, this is cute. For a human, ug-all-the-way-to-the-ly.

[–]ARobins -4 points-3 points ago

<3% difference in banana and human DNA. Your point exactly?

But really, seeing these things in captivity is terrible. They really are very humanlike in emotions.

[–]treelovinhippie 2 points3 points ago

Well that's blatantly wrong - there are a bit over half similar genes in bananas and humans (disregarding arrangement/order of those genes). The point was that it was interesting that we see the baby gorilla as something ugly and alien when it's genes are so similar to ours, and we're from the same evolutionary branch. Anyway, not a discussion to be having in /r/aww

[–]reighnbow 2 points3 points ago

I read that as "heart percent difference."

[–]niemascreama 5 points6 points ago

I showed this to my husband, he walked away with no emotional reaction. He has no soul.

[–]ccrepitation 6 points7 points ago

[–]Disgod 4 points5 points ago

[–]Yunlokzi 0 points1 point ago

I think that's the first time I've seen a baby gorilla. Totally put a much-needed smile on my face.

[–]jstev612 -1 points0 points ago

this might be one of the most terrifying creatures I've ever laid eyes on. the fact that its SO CLOSE to being a person but NOT... is horrific.

[–]Lseibel08 1 point2 points ago

This should be on /r/anthropology...

[–]jordy22 -1 points0 points ago

I would put it o /r/Atheism, it is the final piece in the puzzle. I wonder if the photo is available at higher reolution... I love it, is an instant PC background.

[–]Mayortomatillo -1 points0 points ago

sure. ಠ_ಠ

[–]romeolishitski 1 point2 points ago

I am absolutely ok with the fact that I am(in a very distant way) related to it! Made my day!

[–]CoolCat90 -3 points-2 points ago

Isn't this still on the front page already. So it's gonna be the original and the repost side by side on the front page. MIND=BLOWN.

[–]Mayortomatillo 0 points1 point ago

I don't like people who complain about reposts.

[–]CoolCat90 -3 points-2 points ago

I DON'T CARE!!!!
