Terrifying Video Shows Why You Should NEVER Beat Your Chest In Front Of A Gorilla
Don't do it, people. It's not worth it!
First of all, whenever you're visiting a zoo, never gesture a gorilla by beating your chest. It's a sign of dominance, NOT a gentle greeting!
Because what started out as a sweet family moment on a trip to the zoo, turned into a nightmarish moment for the onlookers
In an incident that took place at the Nebraska Zoo, a gorilla nearly smashed through his glass enclosure after seeing a little girl beat her chest. You can actually see the glass crack in this video, here:
Writing on Reddit, the person who uploaded the video revealed:
"Shortly before this we were telling the kids they could not break it. They will never believe us again. Sadly the one beating her chest really started crying. I came back a couple of minutes later, and the zoo keepers were telling people to stay away."
