- Ubuntu the young gorilla decides to ruin his father’s ‘me time’
- He creeps behind his unsuspecting parent and yanks a tuft of hair on his head
- The male gorilla is left grimacing with pain and turns to confront his errant son
It was a hair raising moment for this male gorilla as his young son engaged in a spot of playful twisting and tugging.
And it was plain to see that father was not best pleased when his offspring reached up and yanked a tuft of hair on the top of his head.
Cheeky Ubuntu crept up behind his dad Bantu, who was taking a quiet moment to sit down and relax.
‘Ow! that hurt!’ Bantu is left grimacing in pain when his young son Ubuntu thinks it would be a good idea to help himself to a tuft of his father’s hair

‘Now listen here son, you’re never to do that again!’ – Bantu can be seen disciplining his son after the incident

It’s only a matter of time though before Ubuntu thinks that it’s time for play time again

In future anything that involves play time with his father will have to be done a bit more gently
But instead of playing nicely, he pulled his hair, causing Bantu to grimace with pain and spin round to face the youngster.
The moment was captured on camera at Knoxville Zoo by Kelly Kearse, a high school chemistry teacher from Knoxville, Tennessee.
Kelly, 50, said: ‘Zoo Knoxville is blessed to have three young gorillas in its eight member colony. It is a wildly fun place to visit.’
