Check out this amazing video. An American tourist, identified only as "John" was on a gorilla-watching tour in Uganda's Bwindi Inpenetrable National Park earlier this month, when an adult female silverback and her babies wandered into camp.

The gorillas appear to be grooming him, as a fellow tourist videotapes the encounter.

"The silverback is just behind you. He's sitting a meter behind you and [there are] three babies squashed between him and you. The female's just behind you to your right," the friend is heard saying. "Tell me what you're feeling now, John."

"I just feel like one of the gang," John says.

After several minutes, the troupe moves on.

Park rangers say encounters such as this are rare.
