Family runs in terror after gorilla charges them and CRACKS THE OBSERVATION GLASS

This is one of the most terrifying animal videos ever.

Note to self: never let your child pound their chest at a gorilla when it’s just glass between you and the gorilla. The family (understandably) fled when the glass cracked. When they circled back to the area a few minutes later, zoo employees were keeping people away. Probably for the best!

YOU CAN SEE THE HORRIFIED FAMILY’S EXPRESSIONS IN THE REFLECTION.
