Toronto Zoo Wants Visitors To Stop Showing Its Gorilla Videos From Phone Because...

"We just want the gorillas to be able to be gorillas," Hollie Ross, behavioural husbandry supervisor at the zoo, said in an interview with the media outlet.

"And when our guests come to the zoo, we want them to be able to see gorillas in a very natural state, and what they would be doing naturally - to sort of connect with them on that level."

Ms Ross further shared that Nassir and other gorillas are allowed to watch videos including nature documentaries under controlled circumstances.

"We just want to make sure that we know the content. Very much like managing an account for a child or something, you want to make sure that your parental controls are on, and that you're in control of what the content is that they're seeing," she said.
