He said: “What happened was actually unbelievable, as we were blindsided by the Gorilla family we were following, as they had been chased from their original location by a lone, aggressive Silverback.

“This caused us to pass each other in a small clearing without any preparation or warning.

“Collin was immediately dropped to the ground and he ended up having a very rare encounter in his life with one of the twins, who was now, in fact, a proud black-backed gorilla.
