Gorilla warfare! Angry ape throws rock at tourists when they video him at Berlin Zoo
Stefan Nolan and his friends were waiting for their flight
home and made a trip to the zoo to pass the time. They filmed the
'impressive' animal on their phone as he walked down the slope towards
them (left). As the men continue to talk among themselves, the animal
picks up a rock from the ground and throws it towards the group
(centre). The animal is then seen standing on its hind legs - apparently
judging whether he hit his target (right). Posting the footage to
YouTube, Mr Nolan joked: 'Apparently gorillas aren't a fan of the
Irish.'

- Group of Irish friends were waiting for flight home and decided to visit zoo
- They filmed the gorilla as he walked through his open enclosure
- The animal suddenly stops and hurls a rock that narrowly misses the men
This angry gorilla was clearly feeling camera shy.
The ape was filmed throwing a rock at a group of Irish tourists when they tried to take a video of him at Berlin Zoo.
The
animal can be seen walking through his open enclosure before suddenly
hurling the rock - narrowly missing the group of men standing just feet
away.

Stefan Nolan and his friends were waiting for their flight home and made a trip to the zoo to pass the time.
They filmed the 'impressive' animal on their phone as he walked down the slope towards them.
One
member of the group is then heard saying that 'gorillas are meant to be
really aggressive' as they move to get a better view of the animal
after he walked behind a bush.

The camera jolts as Mr Nolan moves to avoid the missile - which was launched with such force that it is not caught on film.

Mr Nolan later uploaded the 23-second clip to YouTube, where it has now been viewed more than 40,000 times.
Posting the video, he joked: 'Apparently gorillas aren't a fan of the Irish.'
The
animal that he filmed is one of five gorillas that is being kept at the
zoo, where there is a large 'prairie' environment' for them to exercise
in - and a separate indoor room for shelter.
The
Zoologischer Garten Berlin, received its first gorilla - a female
called Fatou - in 1959. The animal, who gave birth to a baby in 1974,
still lives there in a separate enclosure.
