Giant male primate shocks families at Bronx Zoo with sex act

Gorillas not in the missionary! Giant male primate shocks families at Bronx Zoo by performing sex act on fellow ape

• A frisky gorilla at the Bronx Zoo gave onlookers an X-rated show when he performed oral sex on his partner in front of a group of zoo-goers
• Adult onlookers gasped, shouted and turned their children’s heads away
• The video was captured by a father who was visiting the zoo with his wife, son, daughter and niece
• Turns out humans aren’t the only ones who get down and dirty for fun
• Gorillas having sex for pleasure is quite common throughout the animal kingdom and cheetahs, bears, bats and other ape species take part in the racy act, too

A frisky gorilla at the Bronx Zoo gave onlookers an X-rated show when he performed oral sex on his excited friend in front of a group of zoo-goers. 

A father at the zoo with his wife, four-year-old daughter, son and niece captured footage of the NSFW scene, which took place at the NYC zoo’s Congo Gorilla Forest. 

It is unclear whether the other gorilla is male or female, with the Bronx Zoo declining to comment further when contacted by DailyMail.com.

‘I was shocked and had no idea that was a “natural act,'” the man, who chose to stay anonymous, told the New York Post. 

He added: ‘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 ‘magic’ he captured on video proved humans aren’t the only ones who get down and dirty for fun. 

A male gorilla stunned onlookers at the Bronx Zoo by pushing a pal to the floor of their enclosure

Moments later, the gorilla began performing a sex act on their mate  

The unexpected incident triggered howls of laughter from families in the enclosure, many of whom had children with them 

Adult onlookers gasped, shouted and turned their children’s heads away as the male primate pushed the smaller ape to the ground and serviced it as it closed its eyes and put its hands around its partner’s head while thrusting its hips and curling its toes.  

Contrary to what many think, gorillas performing oral sex is quite common throughout the animal kingdom, as reported by The Post, with sightings of cheetahs, bears, bats and other ape species taking part in the racy act, too.  

A representative at the Bronx Zoo said he was unaware of the clip and didn’t comment when reached out to by DailyMail.com

Bonobos have even come to be known as ‘hippie apes’ for their infamously kinky sex lives where they often engage in the act with monkeys of the same sex. 

They ‘behave as if they have read the Kama Sutra – performing every position and variation one can imagine,’ Steve D Pinkerton, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, confirmed in his book Sexual Nature/Sexual Culture.

According to Discover Magazine, ‘there’s no reason why an animal should seek sex unless they enjoy it,’ and therefore sex is not always simply to reproduce.

In fact, gorillas are ‘most likely to display responses similar to humans,’ meaning that yes, they experience orgasms. 

They’re also one of the only other animal species, besides Bonobos and humans, to have sex in the missionary position, according to The Post. 

Gorillas are non-monogamous, enjoy same-sex encounters and often interbreed with relatives

Humans and gorillas have 98 per cent of the same DNA and thus it’s not so shocking that our closest living relatives aren’t too different from us when it comes to having sex.

In fact, gorillas are one of the only other species to have sex in the missionary position with partners of either the same or opposite sex.  

‘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.

Research has also proven that the great apes can have an orgasm from intercourse, which female gorillas have been known to use as a tactic to take down their enemies.

‘It seems to us that mating is another tactic that females use to compete with each other – in this case to gain favor with another male,’ primatologist Diane Doran-Sheehy said.

She also noted this competitive behavior could explain how humans evolved into a mostly monogamous species. 

But gorillas remain a polygamous species in the animal kingdom and dominant males will often have sex with multiple females.

It’s therefore not uncommon to hear of a gorilla mating with one of their half-siblings. 

Yet despite their size – adult gorillas can weigh up to 374lbs – male gorillas are not known to be well endowed. Compared to a male human, gorillas have very small penises and testicles.

The average length of an erect gorilla penis is 1.25inches, compared to a human’s five inches.
