In an endearing video that has taken Reddit by storm, a gorilla has captivated viewers with his touching interaction with his kids. Titled "Big teddy bear just accepts his fate," this video showcases the gentle giant in a moment of pure parental patience and love, leading many to draw parallels between gorilla and human parenting.

The video has inspired a flurry of comments, with users expressing their admiration and amusement. One user noted, "What a good dad," while another humorously pointed out, "um, that's a gorilla..." This mix-up is understandable, given the gorilla's calm and accepting demeanor, much like a big, cuddly teddy bear.

A relatable comment came from a user who shared, "I have the same video of me with my two kids... well, that's what dads do." This sentiment echoes the universal experience of parenthood, where patience is often tested, but love remains constant.

The video also sparked discussions about the gorilla's expressive eyes and facial expressions, with one user commenting, "Even though chimps and bonobos are closer relatives, it really seems gorillas have the most human 'soul.' Every single video of their eyes/facial expressions, or of the big silver-backs playing gently with kids, feels like I am watching humans interact."

Adding to the humor, a user described a typical family scene, "One brother trying to press dad’s head down into the other brother’s b***," highlighting the playful chaos that often accompanies parenting.

Another popular comment drew a parallel to a meme, "It's like the meme with the father and the dog. 'I don't want a dog.' And then he plays quietly in the corner with the dog without anyone seeing." This comparison further underscores the gorilla's unexpected but touching role as a doting father.

The video not only entertains but also prompts deeper reflections on the similarities between human and animal behaviors. As one user poignantly stated, "Sometimes, I forget that we have biological relatives in nature. This is such a good example of something human-like."

In a world where parenting can sometimes be challenging, this video reminds viewers of the simple, universal joys of family life. Whether it's a human dad or a gorilla dad, the love and patience shown are truly touching.

I always think gorillas look so chill, until they show their teeth then I'm like 'oh yeah h********'!
