Gorillas Perform Oral Sex at Bronx Zoo, Humans Horrified
By Ben Cost - New York Post
Turns out humans aren’t the only ones who get down and dirty for sexual pleasure.
A pair of frisky gorillas at the Bronx Zoo proved that when one was filmed performing oral sex on its partner in front of aghast zoo-goers. A clip of the NSFW scene is currently blowing up on social media — but animal experts report that it’s all completely normal.
“I was shocked and had no idea that was a ‘natural’ act,” the videographer, who has opted to remain anonymous, told The Post of the steamy spectacle, which he captured while visiting the iconic NYC zoo with his family.
“I was in the gorilla exhibit with my 4-year-old daughter and niece,” he said. “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 resulting footage shows the giving simian servicing his partner while they’re splayed out on the ground as onlookers guffaw and turn their children away.
Reps for the Bronx Zoo, who were previously unaware of the video, had no comment when reached by The Post for comment.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time gorillas have been observed going sextracurricular at the boogie-down Bronx venue. Seven years ago, a Redditor posted a raunchy pic that depicted two of the facility’s animals embraced in what is known colloquially as the “69 position” in front of kids.
Great ape fellatio may seem unorthodox, but it’s really not. Oral sex is actually fairly common throughout the animal kingdom with sightings of species ranging from cheetahs to bears and bats engaging in the salacious act, the BBC has reported.
In fact, many species engage in sex for pleasure. Bonobos — also known as hippie apes — have 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.”
The range of non-conceptive sex acts include genital-to-genital rubbing, oral sex, mutual masturbation and even the seemingly human-exclusive practice of French kissing, according to primatologist Frans de Waal, co-author of “Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape.” And they don’t discriminate when it comes to mates: Both males and females practice both homosexual and heterosexual sex, while infants have even been observed going at it with adults.
Bonobos are also the only species, besides gorillas and humans, that have been known to adopt the missionary position during sex.
Not raunchy enough? In 2017, a Japanese snow monkey redefined “buck buddy” after it was spotted engaging in hanky panky with a sika deer for the first time ever.
Although when it comes to the “animal kinkdom,” perhaps nothing holds a candle to the sadomasochistic-seeming American turkey, which is known to fluff up phallic facial appendages, stand on their mate’s necks during intercourse and other acts that put Caligula to shame.
