Humming of Gorillas
Talk Show
“I wanted to exchange my baby with an orangutan kid!”, “No, I wanted to exchange my husband with a male gorilla!” Amazing conversation! One speaker is Noko Kuze, who continues to study wild orangutans in Borneo, Malaysia. The other is Keiko Mori, a wildlife journalist who has been shooting mountain gorillas for ten years in the Republic of Rwanda in Africa.
It is a unique conversation where two people with child-rearing experiences talk about the charm of gorillas and orangutans!
♫ Did you know that gorillas hum?
When you move into the fresh forest when nobody should be there, like after the rain has stopped or early in the morning or late in the afternoon, you can sometimes hear a peaceful melody from the pristine forest. It’s the voice of the gorillas. When their whole family is fine, it is peaceful and there is no poaching. And when they are happy, they start to hum. We work together to protect them, in the hope that gorilla humming will resonate in the forest forever.
