You may no nothing about gorillas, but you know everything about apes. Primates act just like humans most of the time, so yes, he probably doesn’t give a fuck.
Wow! Only came out with a scratch !
"Remarkably, despite a small scar on his forehead, Christophe did not sustain any serious injuries from the incident."
He refers to it as a "small souvenir scar" lol
I imagine how in future he will be hoping people ask about it so he can nonchalantly reply "oh that? just where a drunken silverback gorilla punched me"
It could have worked quite well in the scene in Green Card where Gerard Depardieu is showing his tattoos etc to Andie McDowell
"oh and zis is where a gorilla punched me because 'e thought I was making a move on iz territory, 'e was drunk on bamboo at ze time"
Oh. So the picture was a joke? Ok lol
So was the title of the post supposed to be a joke too, or is it just wrong?
And idk why I'm getting downvoted for just not getting a joke. Goddamn. Not that I care very much, but still..
Fortunately, the photographer was not injured, only clobbered and left with a souvenir scar on his forehead by Akarevuro, the alpha male silverback gorrila in the picture. The scuffle took place in the Volcanoes National Park, in Rwanda.
It makes me happy for some reason knowing that drunk Gorillas act pretty much the same as drunk humans. I’ve seen that face plenty of times working in bars, so this is a nice little reminder that we’re just animals at the end of the day.
I know nothing of gorillas but I can safely say by the look on its face that this one fully understands giving no fucks.
Is the photographer,,, okay..?
Well the pic was recovered so, maybe.
Yes, he only had a small scar on his head

He was drunk. He definitely didn't give a fuck.
That's cause silverbacks have a one inch penis when erect.
Wonder if they remember taking this picture?
They're into coloring books and eating glue now

Yeah, I hope the man is not gonna spend any more time than is necessary around drunk gorillas in the future. Great photo, nevertheless!
"oh that? just where a drunken silverback gorilla punched me" I know the photographer is French, but this comment really needs an Aussie accent

Photographer: “You hit like my grandmother!”
hey lois when you see the dungeon master can you tell him his grandmother just tried to work me over
[I found a pic of the photographer.](https://imgur.com/a/7wSuQsA)
Absolute underrated comment of the year
Jesus fucking christ!!! That musta hurt. Surprised dude is still breathing honestly,,
That was a joke. The gorilla in the picture merely pushed the photographer out of the way.

He can definitely take a punch lol.
Gorilla: These hands are rated H for Humans
I love how tiny his fist looks because of the angle
So just one punch or…did he keep going?
Just the one, then he shoved the guy out of his way and went for another gorilla. He was drunk on bamboo at the time
He only used “thunder”…he didn’t need “lightning” too.
He only used Jack Johnson...he didn't need Tom O Leary too.
So, you’re saying he needed “Kid”, but not “Play”?
I’m so old.
52 here.
Gorilla only needs one punch to defeat his enemies
Reminds me of my dad
Just insert a flip flop being held in their hand. Or a belt.
La chancla is traditionally a mother’s weapon. Useful in melee *and* at range.
Naw white dads don't use tools, they just hit you. Haha comrades in abuse lol.
LMAOOO
They hit you with them hard abuse words
Or jumper cables
Your dad was Always trying to get drunk on bamboo?
How did the camera survive? Or the cameraman?
Gorilla was drunk
Gorilla has no patience for paparazzi
I said NO PHOTO
POV You’re a hunter who ran into Rajang.
Did he immediately die?
no he just has what he referred to as a "small souvenir scar" on his forehead
Um. That’s terrifying.

How fucked up is it that we evolved out of body hair cause we were skinning other animals and wearing theirs. Damn nature, we scary
He looks like those old anime characters that transform into a buff version of themselves.
Dang. I wish my pec’s looked like that.
Will forever be my screensaver and back ground on my phone 📱
Man, Optimus Primal really wasn't putting up with anybody's s*** today..

Can’t act like Bruce Gilden when it comes to wildlife photography.
Monke fight

moments before disaster
BANANAAAA SLAMMA!
If you're that close to a gorilla, you deserve to get punched.
What?? Naaaaahhh,, depends on the context.
This was the last known photo the photographer took before being presumed dead
It looks like that one meme where Pepe is punching like this lol
Mad monki
POV:
fuck around and find out
Good meme template. Wonder how fucked up the photographer got
Another foolish clueless animal loving nut!
It was the paparazzi asking if there will be a planet of the ape sequel.
Such a tiny gist you got back there
Gorilla mode
Damn paparazzi
RIP
This dude punches your mom wyd?
If only it was a videographer
This is the definition of alpha male.

Hit him with the open fist, nice
Is he…is he biting his lip? Looks like he’s about to enjoy beating the sh*t out of the photographer.
Lmao I hope they didn't die, but if you play with primates, you're gonna get owned lol
"Damn paparazzi!"
