Awkward moment randy gorillas shock families with oral sex show at Bronx zoo
THE AWKWARD moment a pair of randy gorillas shocked families with an x-rated sex show at a zoo was caught on camera.
The videographer captured the raunchy exchange during a visit to the Bronx zoo with his family.
The footage shows the gorilla performing oral sex on his partner while red-faced parents gasp, and quickly turn their children away.
And despite onlookers being left in shock, animal experts claim it was completely normal.
The man who captured the moment told the New York Post: “I was shocked and had no idea that was a ‘natural’ act.
“I was in the gorilla exhibit with my 4-year-old daughter and niece.
“My wife had to stay out of the exhibit with my sleeping son, so I wanted to capture a lot of video. Then this magic happened.”
The outlet reports that contrary to popular belief oral sex is quite common among animals with sightings of cheetahs, bears, and bats engaging in the act.

In fact, several species have sex for pleasure, such as bonobos – known as “hippie apes” for their infamously kinky sex lives.
“Whereas the chimpanzee shows little variation in the sexual act, bonobos behave as if they have read the Kama Sutra – performing every position and variation one can imagine,” Steven D. Pinkerton, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, confirmed in the book Sexual Nature/Sexual Culture.
It is not the first time a saucy moment from the animal kingdom has been caught on camera.
Back in April, This Morning fans were left in stitches as a pair of antelopes started having sex live on air.
Josie Gibson was at Wild Place Project in Bristol to be a zookeeper for the day ahead of the the zoos reopening.
