Mountain gorillas mating

Mountain gorillas mating in Volcano National Park, Rwanda. While the alpha male is peacefully feeding, two females start the so called "genital rubbing". This is primarily driven by the intent to get the alpha male attention, and hopefully mate with him. The alpha male doesn't like when females do that, and if they're caught, the alpha male might give them a serious punishment. In this case, as soon as the alpha male approached the female, one of them moves away quickly and starts feeding.
The other female agrees to mate with the alpha male. There is no courtship in gorilla society.
