NOBODY PUTS GORILLA IN THE CORNER!! Here's 14-year-old up-and-coming dancer Zola showing off his moves in a kiddie pool at the Dallas Zoo ... which begs the question -- WHY ISN'T HE A JABBAWOCKY YET?! The video has gone gorilla viral -- and already got the "Flashdance" treatment ... and it's the best thing you're gonna see all day. So, sit back, peel a banana, groom your friend's back, beat your chest, cut up a Jane Goodall documentary, scale the Empire State building and enjoy. RIP Harambe.
This is Zola from a few years ago dancing at Calgary Zoo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNKyG4C2VlA
Wow! That makes me dizzy!
I’m sorry, all I see is ultimate frustration. The poor thing wants out if that cage. Like a tiger pacing in a cage, he doesn’t belong there. Habitat zoos are better. This gorilla is in jail.
Its better with the music that someone put to it
The gorilla enjoys water. He may want out..but he is known for dancing in water.
In keeping with his father’s character, Dr. Celli describes Zola as loving water, quite playful, and a “chilled gorilla.” Perhaps as a harbinger for his future with the ladies, she also describes him as having, “a very striking face, very different from the others – a very handsome chap.”

:: So, sit back;
RummyChick; I’m reclined
:: peel a banana;
methinks that the gorilla has already done this IYKWIM
:: groom your friend’s back...!~yuck~!...
unless you are Freddie Mercury or Nancy Pelosi
:: beat your chest...
no acceptable appropriate reply.
This might be a habitat zoo- they all have back rooms on the enclosures for bad weather, etc., and privacy when the animals want it. You might just be seeing the back room area.
What you’re seeing is definitely not “frustration” - it’s clearly discovered the principles ice skaters know for moving on slick surfaces. The water reduces friction between the feet and the tub and enabled it to take advantage of it by swinging arms to get speed.
Throw some fruit in there and some pool toys like a heavy innertube...
If he hangs the innertube around a keeper’s neck and sets it on fire, then it’s frustration.

Ok, now I’m laughing!
