Гориллы в зоопарке и аквариуме Колумбуса

Spend a full 10 minutes with not one—but two gorilla troops at the incredible Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, home to one of the most respected Western lowland gorilla programs in the world. In this behind-the-scenes-style video, you'll get a rare, extended look at how the gorillas behave, play, rest, and interact with one another through their spacious habitats.

The real highlight? A few curious gorillas react to enrichment items we brought along to the viewing glass—including a bright orange ball that definitely caught their attention! You’ll witness the gorillas’ intelligence and curiosity up close as they notice these new visual stimuli and come in for a closer look. Moments like these give us a glimpse into just how smart and observant these amazing animals really are.

Perfect for fans of primate enrichment, zoo experiences, and baby gorilla family dynamics, this video offers a calm and thoughtful visit with some of the most beloved gorillas in human care.

🎥 Filmed at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, a leader in gorilla conservation and home to the legendary Colo, the first gorilla born in a zoo.
