Naughty Gorilla Has Found Perfect Way To Fight Away Boredom

Living in a zoo is not easy - not even if you have a huge space perfectly designated for you. Each enclosed space is simply not open enough to feed your imagination. Especially if you are a monkey. Monkeys can get bored easily regarding the fact that their needs to show off in front of visitors is just not enough for their thirst to clown around. This naughty gorilla, called Lope is a perfect example of this. Lope is a youngster from the Twycross Zoo in Atherstone, England and he is at his funniest when he's annoying his poor mother!Show more

He has obviously understood the secret of life that apparently not many humans have mastered it so far - that is why wasting the days of your life when you can do something meaningful with them? Well, that “meaningful” for this gorilla is to get on his mom’s nerves and be as irritating as possible.

There is no way not to neg his mom, especially when she can hardly be seen since she is obviously hiding from her son, covered in wood scraps. However, her son is clever enough to notice when his mom is not around, so he knows what to do - the thing he always does when he wants to play. First, he starts with biting his mom in the buttock and he knows that what he does is something that his mom hates. Nevertheless, he still does it, because every game starts with a ritual. Since his mom is not interested in his crazy game, he goes away and finds a hanging ball with water inside. Why not refresh himself on a such a hot day? Water boosts his energy levels so he can keep on showing visitors what a funny monkey he is!
