FIGHTING BLACKBACK GORILLAS

FISTS fly as two gorillas take each other on in a dramatic battle. Fighting to become successful young adults, they throw punches and push each other in a bid to win the fight. These fierce images taken by Dr Michal Samuni-Blank, capture the pair of blackback gorillas as they punch and chase each other around their impressive enclosure. Michal, an Israeli-Born zoologist, took the snaps at Bronx Zoo, New York in order to learn more about the primates.
