Gorillas will often abandon their play to bound over to the glass and gesture with their hands to see a phone. It's a surreal spectacle — the gorillas couldn't look more human, zoning out as humans swipe videos for them. ? What they're saying: A zoo spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal they do not want guests to distract gorillas with screens and they stop it when they see it. Guests should watch gorillas behave like gorillas, not attempt to connect with them through human technology, the spokesperson said.
