Video: Terrifying moment an angry gorilla lunges at family & breaks reinforced glass in its zoo enclosure

New pants please

Jesu. Christe.

Here at JOE, we’ve seen some scary things in our time.

For example, spotting the SportsJOE guys walking around with no make-up on and the reaction to posting the latest line-up for The Late Late Show are just two of the terrifying things we witness every week, but the clip below almost made us poop our pants.

Almost.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident took place when a family were visiting the gorilla enclosure at Nebraska Zoo and one of the massive mammals decided to lunge towards the onlookers, managing to crack the reinforced glass separating the enclosure and the viewing area.

That’s it.

We’re never going to a zoo, talking to a gorilla or starting a family of our own ever again.
