Sure you can, but not if you’re stupid enough to attack the gorilla with a knife and pepper spray.

Gorillas don’t attack for no reason, but like anything they will attack a threat. Assuming it’s a silverback, then you have the added problem that it’s extremely dominant and any perceived challenge will get you seriously hurt.

So don’t look like a threat, and don’t look like you’re challenging him. Some zoological knowledge may help here, but we’re quite closely related and we actually have a pretty similar idea of what constitutes a threat or a challenge- you can figure this out.

You avoid eye contact, sit as far away from him as possible curled up as small as you can go, and you don’t make sudden movements or loud noises. Look submissive, look non-threatening.

There is one rather daft answer that claims the gorilla is as scared as you are and you can take him in a fight with your superior brain power. That person would not be coming out of this situation alive.
