A wildlife cameraman gets charged by a gorilla while filming the gradual exposure of a gorilla family to humans in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
When a wildlife cameraman was invited to film the gradual exposure of a gorilla family to humans, deep in the forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, he got a little too close for comfort to the group's alpha male. But, despite being terrified, Vianet Djenguet knew the almost 40-stone (254kg) primate didn't want to hurt him. It was a test. 'That charge is a way of saying, 'Look I've got a family here, so back off',' says Djenguet. 'But if you stand your ground, it stops him moving forward.
' 'I could feel the power of his hand,' says the cameraman. 'I was quick enough to pull my foot back and then I completely froze.' After he had charged, Mpungwe slid backwards down the hilly terrain and disappeared into the dense foliage. Djenguet had been invited to meet Mpungwe by conservationists in DR Congo's Kahuzi-Biega National Park. They wanted him to document their attempts to get the silverback and his family used to the presence of humans
