VIDEO: Gorilla blocks the road for its family to pass safely

In a clip that has emerged, one male gorilla is seen demonstrating its strength and perfectly keeping the safety of the troops intact.

The silverback gorilla leads the group from the front, and its way converges with a human gravel road. The gorilla spots humans, who are touring the wild, and imposes its gigantic statue right in the middle of the road.

Without perking looking sideways or shaking, it just stared intently at the front as it froze. The other gorilla family members scurry to cross the road, confidently relying on the protection of the silverback. The group includes adults and younger gorillas.

As the gorilla blocks the road, a group of tourists and adventurers stand just by the bush a few meters from the crossing troop, staring in amazement and taking pictures as the family crosses the road. In the distance, a small truck has also stopped despite being heavily laden with sacks.

One of the last gorillas to cross is carrying a baby on its back.

One seemingly brave photographer inches closer to the group, and the last gorilla emerges from the bush. It immediately stops and leers at the human’s audacity before the photographer moves away.

Gorillas are generally peaceful animals but can cause considerable damage when threatened.
