A hilarious video has emerged of a gorilla sticking its middle finger up at another at an enclosure in Tampa, FL, USA on Wednesday.

The video, captured by a visitor to the Busch Gardens wildlife park, shows the surprising moment a Silverback gorilla pulls off the rude gesture during a physical scuffle with an older Blackback.

The assembled crowd can be heard laughing uproariously as the vulgar animal repeatedly directs the offensive hand sign towards its playmate.

Writing online about the experience, the filmer said "A very spunky Blackback Gorilla continues to pester the older Silverback to play with him. His tactic was to throw a "KONG" at his fellow gorillas head, as if that was going to coerce the old gorilla into play mode! Then this happened!"
