\hNOTICEABLY DIFFERENT

{\an7}IN COMPARISON TO THE FEMALES--
620

{\an7}WELL, THIS SILVERBACK LOOKS
\h\h\h\hLIKE A GENTLE GIANT,
628
00:39:18,256 --> 00:39:20,325
{\an7}BUT HE CAN BE FEROCIOUS,
629
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:23,494
{\an7}\hAND A FEW DAYS AGO, HE WAS
IN A FIGHT WITH ANOTHER MALE,
630
00:39:23,595 --> 00:39:25,297
{\an7}AND HE’S GOT TWO SCARS
\h\h\h\hTO SHOW FOR IT,

{\an7}\h\hONE ON HIS HEAD,
AND ONE ON HIS HAND.

{\an7}BUT THAT IS THE LIFE
\h\h\hOF A SILVERBACK
633

{\an7}THAT HAS A FAMILY TO PROTECT.

00:39:32,003 --> 00:39:37,041
{\an7}\h\h\hHIS AIM IS TO LOOK AFTER

OF A MOUNTAIN GORILLA
654
00:40:45,810 --> 00:40:48,579
