I do think that this VIDEO is really COOL. I love wild life and have always enjoyed interaction with animals. However, when the gorilla's went behind him I would have been very apprehensive not knowing what they were up to.
The closest I think that I have ever gotten to animal aggression (besides a dog or a snake that bit me when I was a kid) was when I got spit at by a bull Walrus at Sea World in San Diego for not feeding him again. I was trying to feed everyone in the tank including a female that I was "holding out" for. The "Bull", being vertical in the water submerged himself and then came back up with his head just above the surface and let me have it with a stream of water that soaked me from my head to my knees. The only saving grace was I got a round of applause from a group of Japanese tourist that witnessed this event for not dropping my Smelt. To this day I regret not having a video of it so that the Plant Pixie can relive the moment and teasing me for the rest of the day that I smelt like a three week old tuna fish sandwich until we got home and I could shower.
On another note: If America's Funniest Home Videos had been around back then and we had it "on tape" maybe we could have won some money?

WOW, the gorilla film is awesome. Like you, I would have $hiten my pants. There have been stories when something provokes them it can turn ugly. There's been a lady on Oprah according to the wife that had half her face ripped off by a chimp.
Cool!

It is NOT clear if this is a Formula Three car or not but this VIDEO of driving a race car around the snow covered Nurbugring is a great example of both car control and "fast hands".
I am reminded of the first time on 4 December 03 that I got caught out in the S with S-02's on it in about four inches of snow. I have posted this before that at 8 MPH I could not keep the car pointed where I wanted it to go. It was one of the scariest rides of my life. Including road racing motorcycles in the rain at nearly 150 MPH.
It gave me a whole new appreciation of summer tire compounds versus winter compounds and tread designs and how far tire technology has come in the last few decades.

skating for miles
This is up on Malletts bay on Lake Champlain.
The absence of snow this year means you can skate for miles.
( no I'm not in the video, I'd be good for about a 1/4 mile and need to be dragged back)
My in-laws have a summer place on the left edge of the bluff you see at about 0:25.
