If we think of a gorilla, probably the image that comes to mind is that of a large, strong, hairy and terrifying animal for other smaller species. Our perception of this animal has been greatly influenced over the years by the representation that we have been sold in films like King Kong, but these mammals can also be very affectionate and even fearful.
In a video published by the @AMAZlNGNATURE account on X (formerly Twitter), we can observe a most curious and fun scene. A black gorilla is frightened by the agitated fussing of a very territorial goose.
When both animals are at a very short distance, the bird goes on the attack without a single second’s hesitation and the monkey reacts immediately, retreating at high speed to avoid a blow or a peck.
Despite their light weight, ranging from six to ten kilograms, geese can be extremely protective and aggressive, regardless of the size of their opponent. They are accustomed to firmly defending their territory and do not tolerate any interference without their approval.
The video has provoked a massive reaction of amazement and entertainment among X users, who have expressed their surprise and amusement in various ways: “Incredible! Nature always surprises us!”
The publication already has more than 11,000 likes and 240 comments and demonstrates, once again, how animals have the ability to amaze us and make us laugh day after day.
