“I just got mooned by a gorilla”

Poke Staff. Updated August 3rd, 2022

When a TikToker named @its_just_me0215 paid a visit to the Riverbanks Zoo in South Carolina, she got up close and personal with a fairly large Western Lowland gorilla named Cenzoo – one of the star attractions.

Watch how it happened.

The 26-year-old gorilla certainly knows how to make an entrance – and exit.

TikTok users loved the encounter, and the clip has been viewed almost 10 million times in one day. Here are some of the top comments.

I think he was getting everyone to go inside and looked back like “pardon me, it’s family time right now come back later.”

He’s done that so many times I bet. It’s probably just fun at this point. Lol.

Cha cha real smooth.

It isn’t even the first time the Riverbank Zoo’s gorillas have won the internet.

No wonder they’re a perennial favourite with tourists.
