A massive gorilla was seen charging at the wall of its enclosure at a California zoo, smashing a portion of a thick glass panel in front of horrified onlookers, shocking video captured.
Denny, a 10-year-old western lowland gorilla, shattered one layer of a three-layered tempered glass panel at the San Diego Zooβs gorilla forest habitat on Saturday, zoo officials confirmed in a statement to The Post. Footage obtained by CBS8 captured him catapulting toward the glass wall, causing several onlookers to gasp and scream as they walked away from the habitat. Images also showed members of the crowd investigating the partially shattered panel, following the smashing session.

How can people be so stupid? Just make the gorilla enclosures out of the same material they use for gorilla-proof luggage!

Was this on the Gorilla Channel?
Put some Gorilla Glue on it.
I’m the only guy in town with an oryx/gemsbock skull on the side of my house.It oulays my deer elk sheep goats and hogs.
I need a whales head and a couple of bear.
HILLARY???
Oh, wait, that was “The Glass Ceiling.”
My bad.
Were there Nikes and jewelry on the other side?
Denny wants to make a trip to New York City.
I used to go to the San Diego zoo a lot.
I also went the Zoo in Seattle.
One thing I always sensed was the large
primates were not happy.
If it was people teasing them
(which is a big no-no) or they
have a sense of privacy, that
we ignore, I don’t know.
I suspect places like Lion country Safari,
where the animals are free to room and
the humans are trapped in their cars,
is much better than a typical zoo.
Although San Diego Zoo is one of the
best zoos in the country. Not all Zoos
are that rich and ethical.
Can’t say I blame him,
I’d be pissed too..
Per the video: Gorilla expert says gorillas don’t want people to make eye contact with them. Just pretend they are not there, until it breaks through the glass, then run.
Why is the policeman there? Are they going to arrest the gorilla?
RFKJ, is that you?
“I want my friggin bananas! Gimme my bananas! Now! and stop looking at me! Who built this crappy glass wall anyway? Did they go to school? Just don’t forget about Planet of the Apes!”
Did the zookeepers forget to add dipping sauce with its McNuggets?
Kong!
Climate Change!
And Trump!
