Man and gorilla bond over phone images

A silverback gorilla and a young man have been filmed casually flicking through photos on the man’s phone at Louisville Zoo in the United States.

The video, posted to YouTube by user Paul Ross, shows the silverback watching intently as photos of other gorillas show up on the phone.

The man and the gorilla appear to bond as they gaze into the phone, before both recline into a corner to relax as they continue to look through images.

The silverback gorilla, named Jelani, seems to have an interest in technology.

His profile on the Louisville Zoo website says he is a “laidback individual and likes to look at cellphone photos and videos.”

The video has since been viewed over 10,000 times.
