Gorilla smashes glass as it lunges for family

Gorilla warfare...

Simon Lloyd

A zoo visiting family nearly got far too close to one particular member of the Animal kingdom.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident took place when a family arrived at the gorilla enclosure at Nebraska Zoo. One family member decides to record the two large apes on the other side of the reinforced glass.

Taking exception to being on film, one of the huge silverback gorillas lunges towards the family with such force that the glass separating the viewing area from the enclosure cracks.

Unsurprisingly, the family waste no time in making a speedy retreat.
