What do you do if the gorilla attacks?
I've tracked gorillas in the wild in central Africa and it's very, very important to understand what one should do if one is actually charged and attacked by a gorilla. The most important thing to do is to play very submissively when a gorilla attacks. So for example you would drop your head low in your shoulders and generally put your body into a position that looks submissive, just in a way that you can imagine wanting to behave in a submissive way to a very aggressive person in a confrontational situation. You would do the same with a gorilla. It depends who you speak to as some people prefer to stand their charge by a gorilla, others prefer to sit. I myself would prefer to stand because I think the people who sit generally have been bitten perhaps more than people who stand up but maintain a submissive body language at the same time. The most important thing to do though if you are charged and attacked by a gorilla in the wildernesss, is do not run because if you run, there's a good chance of them bite sucking.
