Young gorilla quickly learns the escape-the-bee dance

So it turns out humans haven't advanced too far beyond our primate forefathers.

A young gorilla learns the hard way that he's poking in the wrong hole when a bee zips out in full attack-mode:

The gorilla reacts just as most of us would: waving his arms and bolting for cover, or at least as far away from that pesky bee as possible.

The video was originally posted on YouTube by American Brett Williams, during a recent visit to a zoo.

If nothing else, it should give all of us some relief that we all react in the same, graceless way when confronted by an angry bee.
