Gorillas are peaceful animals and it rarely happens that they attack people. Still, push their buttons for long enough and there is absolutely no guarantee that they won't snap back.

The video shows a gorilla living at a zoo scaring the bejesus out of a group of kids that keep taunting it.

It's easy to notice that the ape tries ignoring them at first, and even warns them that he doesn't really approve of their behavior by sending several flaring glares their way.

For some reason, the kids disregard these warnings. This leaves the gorilla with no choice but leap towards the glass keeping the kids out of its enclosure.

The ape's leap takes the children quite by surprise, hence their shutting up in an instant and even taking a few steps back from the glass cage.

Satisfied with his deed, the gorilla slowly moves away, looking all triumphant.
