A 13-year-old western lowland gorilla at a Japanese zoo has become an overnight internet sensation after being filmed adopting a remarkably human-like posture of deep contemplation following a dramatic spat with his mate.
The star of the viral footage is Kiyomasa, a resident of the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, whose minute-long routine of sitting alone, scratching his head, and resting his chin on his hand has captured the imagination of millions worldwide.
