Lope, The 3-year Old Dancing Gorilla

A dancing gorilla named Lope 
was filmed in Twycross Zoo. 

​Lope looks a lot
like a dancing ballerina,
twirling and twirling around
until he falls down.
Some say
this could be indicative 
of a bored animal
inside what looks like 
a not-so-spacious room
in the zoo.
But playing or dancing
is a common thing
for young gorillas
​even in zoos or in the wild.
