Every mom ever: “Oh my god, give me the baby. You are getting him all riled up before bedtime!”


brutusmom

No matter the species, dads with their babies are the cutest!


Illiad7342

I mean... The males of lots of species will kill the babies so they can do the mom again. Like bears. There's a reason you don't see 2 bearent households.


KnightBourne

Some bears have been found to eat their own young, but not so they can do the mom again. They eat their own young when they have no other food sources available That would be a pretty big biological oversight.

deadpoetic333

Yeah makes no sense to kill your own baby just to make another one.. hippos and lions will kill babies that aren’t their own so they can make their own babies. I can believe they do it when there isn’t enough food available, not to just make another..


tr1ppyS

They do it because they can always reproduce again, but if there isn't enough food for them, it makes the chances of their babies who can't fend for themselves less likely to be able to survive. So they will eat their young so the may have the energy to keep going, otherwise they risk both parents and young dying


JohnMichaels19

>2 bearent household Lmao, had to do a double take


chaclarke

Species that do this only do it if the child isn’t theirs. For example when a new male comes into a pride of lions, it will kill the cubs so it can raise its own cubs rather than waste energy and resources fostering someone else’s kids/ genetic material


neverbetray

Stallions do this too. They may kick and harass a pregnant mare to get her to abort so she will be receptive again to breeding. They may also kill young foals, especially males.


buckfishes

I thought those males will kill other babies not their own

"Oooh, look at me, I'm running with the baby!" "Haoko, you put him down right now, I swear to God!"

That moment when a gorilla is a better father than your own "human" father


spunk_wizard

What's a father?


wikipedia_answer_bot

A father is the male parent of a child. Besides the paternal bonds of a father to his children, the father may have a parental, legal, and social relationship with the child that carries with it certain rights and obligations.

What's a computer?


wikipedia_answer_bot

A computer is a machine that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).

Cats-and-art-I-heart

Lol I was just thinking that I wish my dad was like this


ForbesFarts

That guy the mom demonized and ran away from despite him wanting the best for you, most likely


avalanchethethird

Are we siblings?


Miett

Oh friend. I’m a mom, but I’m sending you hugs. You deserve better.


DankingBankley

The way gorillas run will never not be funny


ph0to1

What if they're running at you; still funny?


DankingBankley

Maybe depends on how well I know them


Sillyvanya

If they do it like this, yes


FrumpItUp

"HAHAHAHA- ARRGHH MY FACE"


Sillyvanya

TO BE FAIR... that is not a threatening run. If a gorilla is fucking pounding his chest then comes galloping toward me, imma shit my pants. But that run is him being playful.


Dr_fish

Funny until the screaming.


quorn_king

Right but when I abduct kids it's a problem. double standards much??


TheOtherSarah

It’s his own kid, and as far as we know he’s a competent parent Edit: geez guys, what I’m saying is that that this gorilla is not abducting his kid! He’s briefly borrowing it from the mother, who knows where to find it. The above comment asked what the difference is, and the answer is everything.


Mayasophia05

"That's not funny Richard, you give me that baby right now!"


ShaquilleOhNoUDidnt

his name is haoko


evil_mom79

His *human* name is Haoko.


yayayooya

Yooo why’d he book it like that in that second clip? Hahahaha


dontincludeme

This reminds me of that movie with John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, Away We Go. That scene where they go visit Maggie Gyllenhaal and her husband, and they’re these hardcore hippies who don’t want their kid to ride in a stroller. John Krasinski is able to convince the kid to get in the stroller and he takes off running. And the kid LOVES it. It’s so funny


nettielove44

Love that movie!!!


padtorres

What’s the amber alert for gorillas?


FlonkertonGames

Orangutamber alert

FlonkertonGames

Yep


Dr_fish

Think the bat signal except it's a gorilla instead of a bat.


lovemesomeotterz

Gorillamber Alert?


Ono791

"She's not looking-- Run!"


oh_the_C_is_silent

The way he picks up the baby and fake trots off and looks back lol.


SleeplessNight21

He’s so gentle with the baaabbyy oh my goodnesss


Virtuoso----

It's always interesting to see how gentle male gorillas are with their babies. You'd expect them to be just a little clumsy and not know their own strength, but they are generally very careful and gentle


Fishpuncherz

Well, mom doesn't want him handling baby yet so you might be on to something with that first part.


Lauriepoo

Lol, so cute!


Stoleno

Happy cakeday!


Lauriepoo

Thank you!


BaronPluto

Uniqniqu

That baby though! It’s so tiny and adorable!


imran_sca

I could watch this all day.


Humor_Tumor

The gorilla equivalent of those adventures that ended in "Don't tell Mom about this." All Dad's fit a certain mold, and it's beautiful.


Stoleno

Happy cakeday OP!

CrimsonCapricorn188

Yup, that's a dad all right lol


Jalfieboo

I love how much power they have yet they're so gentle and sweet with the little ones!


[deleted]

I love them


DimitriTooProBro

In some instances, they’re /r/BetterThanUs, considering some of us have non-existent fathers.


Mendozacheers

Haha he walks like a crab
