- You got it bad.
- What are you talking about?

:00:07
- You know what I'm talking about.
- No, no, no, no, no.

:00:10
Usually you are out the door
as soon as the animal's in its habitat.

:00:13
You have a very active imagination.
:00:16
- I don't think so.
- Oh, I think so.

:00:18
No, I don't think so.
:00:20
I think Mr. World Traveler
has goo-goo eyes for the gorilla girl.

:00:27
Just close your eyes, and then he's gonna do
that, and then you say, "You found me!" Come on!

:00:35
Behind me is the habitat
of what the experts are calling...

:00:38
one of the world’s most important
zoological finds of this century.

:00:42
This is the home of what is believed
to be the world's largest primate...

:00:45
a 2,000-pound gorilla named Joe.
:00:49
Joe has been at the California Animal
Conservancy for a little over a month now.

:00:53
He was brought here from Africa
by Dr. Gregory O'Hara...

:00:57
- who told me that because of Joe's remarkable size...
- My God.

:00:59
- Pindi was right.
- He is a natural target for poachers.

:01:03
Fortunately, the California
Animal Conservancy's programme...

:01:05
- He's beautiful.
- Is rescuing animals and bringing them here so they...

:01:09
It's the most beautiful animal
I ever seen.

:01:11
And the most valuable,
that's for sure.

:01:14
And he can't escape
because it's surrounded by a moat...

:01:17
and there are also some electrical wires
around the entire perimeter.

:01:20
- Isn't that the... - Wait. Be quiet.
- Joe was raised from infancy...

:01:22
by Jill Young, the daughter of
famed primatologist Ruth Young.

:01:26
Their closeness stems
from a tragic bond.

:01:29
Both Joe's and Jill's mothers
were killed by poachers 12 years ago...

:01:33
- Bloody hell! That's him!
- In the Pangani forest.

:01:34
They both became orphans
on the same night.

:01:37
That's him! That's the little fella
who bit your finger off!

:01:43
I'm always amazed how...
:01:47
if you wait long enough...
:01:50
the opportunity for justice
finally comes.

:01:54
Garth, book us
two tickets to America.

:01:57
We are going to pay a visit
to this incredible animal.
