When you start the journey you’d be alone.
When you make progress you’d be clapped for but don’t get carried away because you are still alone.
Don’t forget you have been Kinginsincebirth.

When a new gorilla takes over a group, his first move is killing every baby inside it. Dead babies bring mothers back into heat faster so he can breed with them sooner. The female in this video saw her partner bonding with an outsider. She understood the stakes.
Gorillas don't pair off. A silverback, the dominant male named for the silver fur on his back, leads a group of several females and their young, all competing for his protection. That protection is everything. The moment his attention drifts, the group becomes vulnerable to rival males on the edges. If one of them wins, the babies die.
The behavior has a name: mate guarding. A female uses aggression to pull a dominant male's focus back toward the group. The biological stakes are survival.
The science runs deeper, though. Frans de Waal spent over three decades at Emory University asking whether gorillas and chimpanzees actually feel what they appear to feel. His 2019 book Mama's Last Hug concluded yes. He died five years later, in 2024. Emotions like jealousy aren't uniquely human. Gorillas and chimpanzees track social attention the way humans do. They notice when a partner shifts focus toward a rival, and they respond to it. The emotion in that female gorilla's brain as she watched the silverback touch a tourist's hair is, according to that research, the same thing humans call jealousy.
Gorillas share around 98% of their DNA with us, having split from our lineage roughly 10 million years ago. That emotional wiring predates both our species.
The male gorilla was grooming, not flirting. Grooming is the main way gorillas bond, picking through fur and spending quiet time together. In gorilla terms, touching someone's hair carries the social weight of a handshake, a friendship offer, and a trust signal. A gorilla reaching for a tourist's curly hair is an attempt at exactly that. The female read it as social energy leaving the group and shut it down.
The video was shot at a gorilla habituation site, most likely Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. These are places where wild gorillas have been slowly trained over years to tolerate humans nearby, for conservation trekking programs. The mask the tourist is wearing is required for all visitors because gorillas can catch human diseases. These aren't zoo animals. Their social lives are completely wild.
The female wasn't overreacting. She was running a calculation that has been optimizing for 10 million years. It just happens to look exactly like jealousy because, according to the research, it is.
These are the statues of Qin Hui, a corrupt 11th-century politician, and his wife Wang from ancient China. Forever cast in a kneeling posture of apology, they have stood for centuries as symbols of disgrace. Over time, it became tradition for passersby to spit on them, hurl curses, and even slap or kick the figures as an act of public contempt.
It’s So cool seeing new cars models made so futuristic
