    Man, props to that guide for putting his hand on that guys back when he sensed he was gonna retreat. In a lot of situations when an animal sees you in flight response they instinctively attack you.

      ***** Yes, all animals in nature constantly scream to themselves for no reason whatsoever. Wolves sitting around at rest will bark, howl and growl, elephants trumpet at least 4 times a minute and don't even get me started on horses.
      Insects probably get away with it though because they're always like "HEY, BUDDY, I'M AND INSECT AND I'M RIGHT HERE!!!!"
      The entire point of documentaries is to try and document the real experience which means not adding in SFX.

      I don't know if you're british or not but this show, deadly 60, comes on CBBC. It does come on main BBC channels sometimes due to it being so educational but it's primarily a CBBC show which is a kids channel. So they have to make sound effects like that to please their main audience of 6-11 year olds

      This is the correct response to a gorilla charge. If you run they see it as opportunity, your back is exposed. If you stare them down and beat your chest you'll get your head knocked off. If you stand your ground and avert your gaze, preferably getting low to the ground, they will leave you be. It's all about dominance, they have no interest in fighting you if they don't have to prove anything.

    Just think, if he'd really wanted a piece of you, it'd be curtains.
    It's a very good thing that gorillas almost never attack humans.
    Good for us (obviously) and very good for them because at least they don't have yet another reason for humans to go around killing them and forcing them into extinction.

      Be sure to leave their carcasses out where they were gunned down and let the word spread among the other poachers as a deterrent.

      BriantheRight It is estimated that it has 15-20 strong men's strength. That does mean it can separate your arms, legs and head from your body just "like that" if it knew how. World's strongest man for instance could break your neck and back like a twig. So it doesn't surprise that this animal being 15 times stronger could easily do likewise.
