Close encounters with jungle #wildlife 🦍 professional guide and photographer, @Richard De Gouveia, shares an incredible close-up of a gorilla's beating his chest. When a #gorilla beats its chest, it is typically a display of dominance and strength. This behavior is a way for a gorilla to communicate with other gorillas and establish its position within a group or territory. Chest-beating is often accompanied by vocalizations, such as grunts or roars, and is meant to intimidate rivals or assert the individual's dominance.
