Even the most simple skills can be incredibly challenging at first for infants, but thankfully they aren’t afraid to get a little dirty or even make a fool out of themselves at they practice.
One Canadian woman, Youtube user lizjackson2, caught the incredible moment one newborn gorilla attempted to bang on his chest after seeing dad do the same just moments before, however, unlike dad, it’s his very first attempt.
Gorillas usually bang their chest in order to signal younger gorillas to back off, to show dominance, and to celebrate a victory, however, this baby gorilla was just trying to copy dad and gain a new skill.
The infant barely manages to stand on his two feet and even has to grab onto a nearby branch for stability, but impressively manages to get in a few chest thumps. However, the little guy seems to forget how strong he is- and how unstable he is- because seconds later he knocks himself off his feet.
Watch the entire video below to see the hilarious moment this baby gorilla tries to bang his chest for the first time.
