A silverback gorilla at Twycross Zoo, UK showed his son who's the boss during an interaction after he became annoyed.

The clip, filmed on February 1, shows the moment Shufai the baby gorilla was annoying his dad Oumbi, before the silverback chases the baby and pins him down.

Oumbi's grandmother then comes to the rescue and in the footage, you can see him on her back for protection.

"When I spoke to a keeper, she said it was nothing to worry about.

It is just part of learning for Shufai, as he's being annoying his dad all morning and he just put his son in his place," the filmer told Newsflare.
