A video of a scary but peaceful encounter between a gorilla and a group of tourists was shared online. The video shows how the primate came extremely close to the tourist sitting on a jungle floor.
Travel expert and content creator Cameron Scott shared the video on Instagram. “Life-changing Silverback encounter, A moment my guests will never forget! A large Silverback Mountain Gorilla emerges mere feet away from my clients and proceeds to flaunt his majestic beauty off in a powerful yet graceful manner. These moments out in the wild are what it is all about and we can not be more grateful towards all the park rangers, trackers and conservationists behind the scenes that make all of this possible,” reads the caption posted along with the video.
The video opens to show a group of people sitting on the ground with green plants all around. Within moments, a gorilla comes out from the bushes and walks past them. The video ends with them laughing excitedly after having this once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

A beautiful and gorgeous animal but, I am not willing to try this for my heart's sake,” joined a fourth. “So close,” wrote a fifth.
