The video was shot at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium back in October. The action starts around the :32 mark, when one gorilla crosses in front of the other, leading that one to charge and collide into him. The two shove and swipe at each other for about 15 seconds before one of the apes backs off.

No, she said "you'd think they would SPRAY them or something."

It works on cats, probably not so much on gorillas.

“Where’s the zoo keepers?” Like any zookeeper is gonna try to break that up?! And it was over before it started anyway.

Why would the zoo keep two silverbacks in the same enclosure? Presumably they want fight scenes.

One of these gorillas broke the armored glass between him and the people about a year ago. It broke, but it held. There is a youtube video of that, too.

In the past when we would go there (Henry Doorly is in my town, one of the best zoos in the world, supposedly) I would sit and make unbroken eye contact with the big male gorillas. They would invariably get angry and then come up and slap the glass in front of my face. That was always enough to get the little nieces and nephews wound up.

Saw the headline and immediately thought of Chris Matthews and Mike Barnicle slap fighting.

I agree. Regardless to what she actually said, she doesn’t have a realistic approach to how dangerous these animals can be.

Paraphrasing a comment on YouTube...

“Where are the zookeepers ?”

“They're not here because they tried to break up the last gorilla fight”.
