Here at LittleThings, we know that sometimes animals — domesticated or wild — do the strangest things. We cherish the times we can see these hilarious actions in person, and are very thankful for rolling cameras when we can't. Animals are just like us in many ways, but primarily because they have a sense of humor, too Just check out this baboon, who couldn't hold back a stunned expression when he was shown a magic trick!
Primates are especially similar to us, and they undoubtedly enjoy the same pleasures in life as we do. A woman named Helen Fairhead was visiting the Twycross Zoo when she came across the gorilla pen. She started filming one of the primates, even though he wasn't doing anything special at first.
It's a good thing she did! Without warning, the playful gorilla gets on his feet and starts twirling. He even sticks out one arm, almost as if he were dancing with a partner. It's not unfathomable that the gorilla knew that this would enthrall onlookers, and that he just wanted to have a little fun.
Watch the animal elegantly twirl before falling on the ground. We wonder what other trick this gorilla has up his sleeve!
