If you put a male and a female animal together, itโs very likely that theyโll have some fun.
If you put a male and a female animal together in a zoo enclosure, itโs very likely theyโll have an audience while having that fun.
Thatโs what happened when a group of people were watching a large silverback, who was flirting with a much smaller female gorilla.
โPoquito [little]โ says one person about the female.
Giving into his advances after a quick circle around a supporting beam, the male then mounted her from behind.
โOkay, no, no, no! Iโve seen too much,โ says a child, who quickly became aware of what was going down beyond the glass.
โAre they having sex?โ Asks another. โOh my God, Iโve never seen something like this with animals in real life.โ
Seconds after the great ape starts gyrating his huge hips, a curious young gorilla first watches from a distance and then moves in for a closer inspection.
โThe child is coming to look,โ says a woman. โHeโs checking what he is doing!โ
Viewers can hear a younger person in the background, saying โOh no.โ
The woman then explains to someone in her party, โI donโt know if you knew it, but this is how babies are made.โ The child responds, โI knowโฆโ
Snack time
The young gorilla then reaches out his hand and keeps it on the backside of the male, who continues mating.
Shortly after curling his toes, the large ape separates himself and walks away while the little one watches the exhausted female, who slowly lifts herself from the ground.

As the small gorilla climbs the pole where the flirting started, the female grabs something from the ground in front of her and places it in her mouth.
โShe canโt walk anymore,โ the woman jokes as the female leisurely makes her way into a little house inside the enclosure.
โShe wanted to cuddleโ
Online viewers had lots to say about this unexpected educational moment at the zoo, the majority who found it hilarious.
One netizen writes, โThat little one went to checkโฆPatted on his back yep! [youโre] in!โ
A second jokes about the conversation had behind the camera: โMom: this is how you were made, Child: yeah, I know.โ
A third shares, โBig Fella just got up and walked away when he was done. You could tell she wanted to cuddle,โ while a fourth quips, โThe way he lifts his foot and twitches his toes hahaha.โ
Meanwhile, one cyber fan appreciated the opportunity of seeing wild animals doing wild things: โItโs fascinating to see animals so closely related to humans doing this so openly. Itโs a natural part of life and they donโt care who sees. Weโre the weird ones.โ
