( CNN ) A family trip to a Nebraska zoo turned terrifying for one family after the gorilla they were looking at leaped toward the exhibit window , cracking it . Kevin Cave caught the incident on video that he posted on his Reddit page . It has already been viewed more than 1 million times . Cave said when his family first arrived at Omaha 's Henry Doorly Zoo gorilla exhibit , he noticed one of the gorillas had a cut below his eye that was `` bleeding a little bit . '' He said he overheard a couple of zookeepers say the gorillas had been fighting with one another . Then the gorilla -- named Kijoto -- charged toward the window and smacked into it , he said . The leap sent the family and other patrons running , but Cave said when he looked back , `` it was n't as bad as we thought it was . '' Dan Cassidy with the Henry Doorly Zoo said he 's been surprised by the attention since he considered the whole thing a `` nonevent . '' The group of male gorillas is known to have occasional skirmishes . `` They show how tough they are by pounding on the wall and the windows , '' Cassidy said . Even with the crack , the public was never in danger , he said , because the window has multiple layers of both glass and acrylic . Kijoto is a 20-year-old western lowland gorilla , according to a release on the zoo 's website . He weighs 375 pounds .
