As the younger gorilla in the scene, it appears that one of the small animals is having a hard time. When the older gorilla realizes this, it rushes into help and uses its large teeth to dispatch the motionless snake.
There are four gorillas standing in front of a snake. The smaller mice seem to be agitated and ready to pounce on the snake at any moment. An older gorilla swings into view, only to reach down and grasp hold of the animals as they begin to pull away.
The snake can be seen briefly hiding in a pile of straw before a larger gorilla on the floor quickly notices it and the smaller gorillas appear to calm down, walking towards it. Once the older gorilla sees it, he appears to calm down and walk away again.
The snake briefly enters a pile of straw and leaves it to the bigger gorillas that found it. Eventually, the big gorilla sees the snake, slows down and stands back, without appearing to be afraid of it. Once the big gorillas see that there are smaller animals interested in interacting with them, they seem to calm down.
What do most people think gorillas are when they see them in their natural habitat? Generally, it just looks like a bunch of red furry blob with a tail sticking out. However, sometimes we get to see the gorillas in their natural habitat playing with other animals like, say, a rubber snake! This equally rare chance was captured by Ryan Parks and the footage went viral.
What would you do if you found a python that had just eaten an African rock python? According to the Story of Stuff Project, it did.
