Gorilla Shows Middle Finger To Zoo Visitors Trying To Take His Picture

ADVERTISEMENT

A grumpy gorilla at Bristol Zoo finally got fed up with everyone snapping its photos and let visitors know exactly how it felt by sticking up its middle finger and flipping them the bird. Luckily, Bon Pitchford, a photographer in Bristol, captured the moment.

“He really does look a bit cheesed off,” Pitchford told the Bristol Post. “As I spotted him he was just playing with some grass. Gorillas have fantastic hearing so when I started clicking he must have heard me. He just turned around and it looked like he was flipping me the middle finger.”

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    I would be flipping people off also if I were imprisoned in a zoo with millions of people gawking at me day after day after day! In fact, I might do something more daring like give them the ol' bend over & kiss my a**e routine.

    I feel so much empathy for him. What a pity - not seldom, we are the ones who should be on the other side of the bars ...
