Catch a sneak peak of Zola showing off his dance moves in a behind-the-scenes video shot by zookeeper Ashley Orr. You may remember Zola when he was a youngster from the viral video of him breakdancing at The Calgary Zoo, but there’s a lot more to this behavior than you may think.
Enrichment helps enhance the environment and lives of animals, like Zola, by providing them with mental and physical stimulation to increase natural behaviors. Enrichment can take many forms, but for this spunky great ape, it means playing and spinning in his favorite blue pool while off habitat!

If the day off is paid: :)

Man I've danced like that when I got a day off lol
Relatable
I can't believe this is real
I know, it almost doesn't look real, does it? LOL
This is literally one of my favorite videos on the entire Internet.
The literal definition of "Dance like no one's watching." ❤
How did you get footage of my husband in our pool?
Mary Witcher 💀
Mary Witcher i cant stop laughing

He is kinda built as well as graceful. Good catch :D
Such graceful and elegant dance moves!
Никогда горилу в положительных эмоций не видел до этого

Omg he's got moves❤️
I wanna thank King of Skill for letting me know this wholesome video exists
“Dance like no one is watching, love like you've never been hurt; sing like no one is listening, and live like it's heaven on earth.”
Ohhhh❤❤❤❤so true my friend❤❤❤so true!
That's a great motto on how to live life. 🤓
All good except for the "sing like no one is listening" 😂 .. cuz that includes torture to other 👂
@@Timothy_toenail_jr🤓☝️
@@m_dawood it depends of your singing tho! 😂
No matter how many times I watch this (many MANY times) it NEVER fails to make my Heart explode with HAPPINESS...Such an extraordinary scene to witness...especially seeing Zola's BIG open mouth laugh as he twirls around...pure joy...
I know, same here! LOL. :))
Haha same here. I only recentely noticed his open mouth, full of joy. "It's amazing" like the woman filming says.
❤❤❤❤❤this melts my heart!!!! Captivity at its finest ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
me too :)
A fantastic display of pure joy and happiness!
It's super majestic.
And they say animals can't feel oh please 🙄
@@TranceGurl20 and who exactly said that?
Fake
Can you imagine what you’d think if you were in the wild and saw a gorilla dancing in some water like this
I wouldn't stick around to see it finish, that's for sure
Brent/King of Skill be like 😂
You spin me right round baby............right round.
King of Skill vibes anyone?
He’s a maniac! Manic on the floor 🦍❤️😂 How could you NOT love this?!
0:11 King of Skill avoiding getting fucked over be like
Playing this in 2x speed makes this even funnier 😂
You should play "Maniac" in the background.
didn't see Chris' message below..lol
John Shannon quickly done it whilst at work check my channel out lol 😂
Exactly what I thought the moment he started spinning!!! LOL!!!
My god! My same thought. Ha ha
I was thinking _"WHAT A FEELING!"_ :-)
pff, who needs a fidget spinner when u have a gorilla spinner
Batman 😂😂😂🙌🏻
This comment has aged like cheese in the sun 🌞
You can see him smiling having fun lol
Somewhere else, a certain masher is doing monke noises
I was hoping I'd find a comment like this.
Wow, those turns were graceful ❤
This is my new "go to for a smile" video! Everybody should spin in a giant tub now and then. The world would be a happier place.
dancing better than most of human beings
That is for sure!
thank you niche "do it again" youtuber
I laughed so hard the first time I saw this years ago. It never gets old.
Jesus Christ loves you ❤
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Okay but the last couple of spins were actually super elegant
He knows how to use his bo-dee.
Meanwhile his mate is sitting by, thinking "If he thinks I'm mopping that up...."
What a beautiful demonstration of pure joy
This is me in the shower every morning.
So you morph into a gorilla, fill up a pool and start spinning around because you don't know the difference between a shower and a pool? #Relatable
Same 😆
I never thought an animal could dance so beautifully 😌🥰❤️
I wonder what Barishnikov thinks.
We are all animals. If you see gorillas videos you'll notice they are pretty alike us.
He's wonderful and they are great to provide him with a pool.
😂 And that was how ballet was invented 6 million years ago. But seriously I can't believe how graceful he does it just amazing. ❤
Let him dance - what a joy to behold the pure joy in him
King of Skill when he makes monkey noises
That look at the end. "Wait, did anyone see me?"
To those that don't know already: gorilla is laughing when he has his mouth open like that.
Truly a masterpiece I have cried over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times watching this
Same.
You both need psychological help.
@@googleisskynet7312 bruh
❤❤❤❤❤❤ME TOOOOOO!
@@googleisskynet7312 and you need to connect with your emotions, the psychologist actually serves you more.
Such joy! Such magnificence! Anyone who can’t see the obvious similarity in our expression has got blinders on! I’m so glad you caught this and shared it with the world!
KONG TRYING TO FIND GODZILLA IN THE WATER
Gorilla: I'm a maniac, maniac on the pool
And I'm dancing like I've never danced before
Man he is similar to humans. What a fun time this guy is having!!!!
He needs a dance partner though.
He is having so much joy right then!
“He’s a maniac, MANIAC on the floor..and he’s dancing like he’s never danced before!!!”😎
This gorilla dances better than I do.
He’s having a great time God-bless him
"She's a maniac,
Maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like
She's never danced before".....
I replayed it so many times I thought I emptied the pool!
why does this video always makes me cry? I’m so happy for him and I wanna cuddle him
Beautifully said.
@@teresahardy5895 shhh you you did….
he'd tear you apart
That’s the look of pure joy💖
Lol. He having a ball. Like a kid or something.
Now imagine his feet walking along a New York sidewalk him carrying a can of paint and you have an instant movie sequel hit
The sound of the splashing kinda sounds like the beat going with the dance 😂
That's how to enjoy life!
A BIG Thank You for everything ie:
Foremost for helping Zola play / enjoy his life a bit and for sharing it with all of us.
In return I will do my best to spotlight and share Zola and your zoo with everyone I can...
What joy 😂
That gorilla thinks he's in the movie of " FAME!" 🙂
Awh i remember when I used to enjoy baths like this.
So much happiness! :)
You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round.
Godzilla: Out there killing monsters
Kong:
He's just so into the dancing 😂💜👍
This is more powerfully expressive than 95% of manmade choreography including ballet. This fluidity of motion and emotion is the goal all of our kinetic arts are trying to achieve.
We should be funding this gorilla to go on tour.
Umm...what? lol
@@googleisskynet7312bro sees a gorilla spinning around and is like "this is more impressive than any other display of mammalian athleticism ever". People when they see something they find cool they always have the most over the top response ever and geek out so hard their objectivity goes away lmao. Like I know some things are cool but there's a line between appreciation and simping 😂
@@googleisskynet7312 Look up kinetic. It just means movement.
@@ligma212 They said expressive, not impressive. And it's an interesting point; valid, in my opinion. It's arguable. I mean, including all ballet & such Is over the top, but ballet isn't really Expressive emotionally. Maybe modern dance..
Hip Hop Dancer : "WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!!"
Its like flash dance. What a feeling.
This video just makes you smile.
A candid look behind the curtain.
Thank you for sharing this.
Jesus Christ loves you ❤
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He's having a lot of fun
4 year old me in the bathtub after I'm told not to make a mess:
Thirty seconds of pure joy
That is one happy gorilla! So fun to watch!❤😂
This is just awesome! 🤠 that’s the kind of playful spirit and joy of the moment we hope everyone can experience! 🦍🦍
People actually believed this gorilla was dancing to a song because they saw the viral video that edited in the song.
This is how easily people can be manipulated.
He was definitely enjoying the moment!
Looks far more like ballet to me! He's clearly having the time of his life!
He and Patrick Swayze.
That is hilarious!
Of course I get a washing machine ad before watching this.
This needs the "I'm so excited and cannot hide it!" song playing over it 😂
So nice to see him enjoy himself. Such a free spirit. Imagine if he is free in the wild. That wld b a sight to behold.
Too dangerous. He could eat someone.
@@Myndirgorillas don’t eat meat. Termites at most. Plus, most would rather display and scare you off than actually fight you.
In the wild.. The poacher might kill him after the dance
In the wild, he might get killed by wild things
@Myndir gorillaz are vegan
POV: something awesome just happened to King of Skill
Bro was going ham on that one ant he found under him 💀
My BELOVED GORILLAS I LOVE and RESPECT them He is very talented love his moves .
it really look like the movie...omg...he is beautiful
It's so tragic that they are almost extinct. You should post a link to how people can help.
Recycling cell phones is a huge help! And many zoos across the country collect them. Learn how donating your old cell phone can help save this remarkable species in the wild: www.dallaszoo.com/wildlife-conservation/recycling-electronics-at-the-dallas-zoo/
my cell phone has been used since 2012. does it help?
All my phones in the past 4 years have been second-hand, I think that's as good as you can do. And then, yes, recycle their dead carcasses.
Its a sad tru :(
From the zoo's blog: "support our conservation partners in the field, like the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Center (GRACE), that help gorillas in the wild" zoohoo.dallaszoo.com/2017/06/20/gorilla-groovin-promoting-play-through-enrichment/
This is the best thing in life
That's not break dancing, he's doing a scene from splash dance, oh what a feeling!
Love it. In two weeks I hope I get to see this amazing dancer.
Pov: Brent making Monkey Noises:
What’s up Party Crashers nation?
That gorilla really loves water.
He was dancing like nobody was watching but...we saw him
where is the extra long edition? this video ends too early.
so cute! he's really having fun!
Yo, everybody should take a bath like this at least once in their life
I'm currently unsupervised! I know, it freaks me out also! The possibilities are endless!!
I wish they could all live safely in the wild 😊
this is going to be memed to death!!
spicy110 it already has. it already has.
Yes
Why do I luv this so much?? The remix with the song Maniac from Flashdance makes it even more satisfying
