Mountain gorillas have been caught on camera as they "sing" during their supper, a behavior that has never before been documented on video. Filmmakers captured the astonishing footage of the primate crooners with a little help from a very special camera: a robotic "spy" designed to look like a young gorilla.

Brilliant, especially when the gorillas recreated the famous campfire scene from Blazing Saddles

I take umbrage at that.

I never sing when I'm posting.

Now, just think if that money was used for sensible research; maybe even stuff that benefits the local people?

Im sure that gorillas do fart in the woods.

What's not sensible about researching gorilla behaviour?

A chorus of appreciation? How would anyone (other than gorillas) know? Even if it is a chorus of appreciation, is saying "Mmm" singing? Calling it singing is a stretch, and assuming it's appreciation is a stretch, but certainly the flatulence is indisputable. In fact, I'd say that the flatulence upstaged the "singing," which is so typical of life.

Does it happen if there isn’t a robot there to hear them?

Does it count if the farts are humming...?
