On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal ncounters. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
Here's just one of many favourites. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
This is Deadly 60 Bites. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
We've trekked for over five hours in Uganda to reach this clearing | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
an we're about to come face to face with mountain gorillas. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
I can see the bushes moving ahead of us. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
I'm shaking, half with excitement, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
half with a little bit of trepidation. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
(There, Johnny.) | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
(Wow!) | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
(Our first sight!) | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
They're all around us. The silverback! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
And there's a little baby, an infant hanging on this branch. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
Let's move up this way. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
'It feels quite vulnerable to be so close, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
'knowing that if he wanted to charge, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
'he'd be on me in a heartbeat!' | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
It may seem insane to be thinking about putting an animal | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
that is so gentle, so careful and a vegetarian on to the Deadly 60, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
until you get a good look at this guy! | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
This is the silverback, the dominant male. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
I have to say, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
there are very few more impressive animals in the whole world. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:44 | |
He is absolutely massive! | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
He's just walking across now. You can see that silver saddle back | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
as he goes, and just the strength to brush bushes aside. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
Look at that incredible bulk. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
They are majestic animals. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
'160 kilos of silverback gorilla just vanish into the undergrowth.' | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
We try and keep a respectful distance | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
so we don't disturb the gorillas as they feed. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Johnny, Johnny... 'But suddenly a cheeky, confident young male | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
'moves menacingly towards us.' | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
This is the blackback. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
He's the young male. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
They can be... | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
..more of a worry than the silverback | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
because they have more to prove. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Did you see how easily he just pulled | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
that tree down to cover himself? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
People who work with gorillas a lot reckon | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
they are probably ten times stronger than people. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
They've seen them bend iron bars. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
He's looking at me at the moment, sussing me out. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
'But he knows he's far bigger and stronger than me | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
'and I pose no threat to the group. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
'The guides make me stand my ground as he comes in for a closer look.' | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
Right. Well, that... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
is a blackback gorilla, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
letting us know who's boss! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
You don't get better animal encounters than this anywhere. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
To be this close to one of the most awe-inspiring | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
kings of the jungle, the mountain gorilla. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
They're definitely going on the Deadly 60. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
