Film Crew Confused When Gorilla Stops Traffic Then Something Leaves Them Speechless
When wildlife photographer Gordon Buchanan headed off to the Democratic Republic of Congo to film a piece for BBC, he never could have anticipated the rare footage he would soon capture. As his camera crew was setting up, a peculiar sight in the bushes immediately caught his eye.
A huge silverback gorilla was standing off the side of the road, scanning the scene as trucks continued driving by.
Buchanan instantly knew something was up when he spotted the tense look on the gorilla's face, but as time went by he still couldn't figure out what the creature needed. Suddenly, the rare silverback gorilla's intentions became clear.
Just as Buchanan's crew settled into the road, traffic came to a screeching halt. With the oncoming trucks completely out of sight, the 1500 pound gorilla finally made the move they had been waiting for. Bravely stepping into the middle of the street, the enormous creature stood guard as he signaled for his huge family to cross the road.
That is when the BBC crew suddenly realized that the animal was on edge because he was worried about protecting his family.
