While taking photos of gorillas, the photographer got the ultimate shot. Right to the kisser! He managed to get this amazing photograph, but unfortunately for him, it was the wind up right before the punch.

 

The image, which was taken at the Volcanoes National Park, in Rwanda, showed 6ft 6in Akarevuro clenching his fist in preparation of hitting Christophe Courteau.

He earned a punch for his troubles but he’ll be more than happy with the final result, which showed the magnificent beast bearing down on him.

‘Akarevuro just ran at me,’ Courteau said.

‘I could not move away because I was taking photos on my knees.

‘I felt all of his power and weight on my body. It was like being hit by a train.’

A snap taken by his colleague Christophe Vasselin, showed Courteau being knocked to the floor but thankfully, he was not seriously injured.
