It's not just humans who have been impacted by the global coronavirus pandemic. Pet cats have tested positive, as has a tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York. On Monday, the San Diego Zoo announced that members of its gorilla troop have COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus.

The gorillas reside at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, a 1,800-acre facility that houses rhinos, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and the endangered gorillas.

Revenge of the panda bear.

Okay, we just need to quarantine them... Oh wait

[aynrandfreak]

Mask em up

[headsonpikes]

OK - who will put the gorillas’ masks on?

[dforest]

How long y’all think them GO rillas are going to tolerate a mask and social distancing?

“OK - who will put the gorillas’ masks on?”

Whoever can successfully do that...I don’t want to tangle with them.

Now I’m worried about Bigfoot.....

It would be totally wrong for someone to make an I-hope-Mooch-is-wearing-a-mask joke right now, so I won’t do it.

[wildcard_redneck]

Time to shoot the gorillas.

They should’ve been wearing masks

If someone could get the video of a covid commie attempting to put a mask on one of the gorillas, it’d be appreciated.
Asking for a friend.

Poor things. I hope they aren’t part of the .05% that does not survive.

The other animals should have been wearing masks; those anti-masks wearing bastards.

That day when “Ooga-Ooga” became “Ruh-Roh!”

Why is anyone testing gorillas in the first place?

The gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

[AndyTheBear]

Don’t know much about the the coronovirus tests or how they work...but it almost seems like they are about as accurate as flipping a coin—as in heads you have it, tails you don’t. And if anybody dies after a flip of heads, well then thats another covid-19 death, lets run that total up there so we can keep everyone locked up!

Magilla Gorilla agreed to self-isolate.

Ventilator please.

Quick, give them $600 and register them as democrats and request absentee ballots.
