« Shortest Analysis of the 9-11 Hearings in the World | Main | Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow: The Pledge Debate »

Imagine how disturbing your trip to the zoo would be if you were suddenly attacked by a freaking gorilla. And impressed props to the maternal instinct:

DeLeon said he first saw Cheryl Reichert, 39, trying to close a door to the aviary, but the gorilla forced it open and jumped on her. Then DeLeon saw Jabari go after 3-year-old Rivers Heard and his mother, Keisha Heard, 31.

"He picked him up like a rag doll and then bit him in the head," DeLeon said. "His mother started hitting the gorilla on the back, but that just made him more mad. He threw young Rivers and then turned around and attacked her."

Growing up, that kid had better not give his mom any crap:

"Go to your room, you're grounded!"
"But moooooooommm!"
"Hey, I took on a 300 lb. gorilla for you!"
"Yeah, yeah, ok."
