Fortunately, it wasn’t nearly a noisy mating display that may have caught the attention of everyone at the zoo who was watching the gorillas and made kids wonder what their parents were doing.
All zoo visitors could see was the steady shuddering of a male gorilla’s rear. Occasionally, one of the juvenile gorillas would approach.
The mating couple, sitting right behind the male and even touching his rear while kindly obstructing much of the action. Zoo visitors soon recognized what was happening;
One was heard saying that they had “seen too much” before continuing to view a great deal more and making a joke about being watching a “porno film.”
When animals are kept together, there is always a danger that they may start banging, and this risk rises if the animals are kept in a public place where people can see them, like a zoo.
Gorillas, let’s face it, also need affection. Some of them live their whole lives in captivity because they are so lonely without other creatures to bond with.
