This is the hilarious moment two gorillas were caught\u00a0running for cover as they desperately tried to seek shelter in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n
The bizarre clip – posted to TikTok – captured the intelligent animals as they raced around in panic at their private enclosure at London\u00a0Zoo.<\/p>\n
A person can be heard erupting with laughter as the gorillas dart across the greenery with super speed, eager to protect themselves from the rain.<\/p>\n
Perhaps even more peculiar is that one of the apes grabbed what looked like a jacket to shelter its mane from the water.<\/p>\n
The funny video has left viewers in tears of laughter with many saying how relatable the moment is, as one person joked: ‘Me after I got my hair straightened’.<\/p>\n

This is the hilarious moment two apes were caught running for cover as they desperately tried to seek shelter in the pouring rain\u00a0(Pictured: An ape runs for cover at London Zoo)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps even more peculiar, was that one of the apes grabbed what looked like a jacket to shelter its mane from any possible water damage<\/p>\n
The video unfolds with one ape darting across its enclosure to an inside space.<\/p>\n
One of the apes can be seen clutching a large green plant – possibly its lunch – in one hand, while it used another hand to cover its head.<\/p>\n
The camera then follows the animal as it makes its way through a gate and out of sight.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the second gorilla, unwilling to risk getting wet, quickly grabs what appears to be a beige-coloured jacket.<\/p>\n
The quick-thinking animal places the coat over the top of its head, making sure it covered its entire back and buttox, as it too makes its way across the grounds.<\/p>\n
The hilarious video has so far been viewed 33 million times and has garnered over 23,000 comments, with the playful duo clearly leaving people hysterical.<\/p>\n
One person wrote: ‘Me after I got my hair straightened’.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Both apes disappeared through a gate at the front of the enclosure, without viewers learning of their fate<\/p>\n
Another chimed in: ‘Looks like my [mother] running to get the laundry outside because it\u2019s gonna rain’.<\/p>\n
‘Me when it\u2019s raining and I have my hair and makeup done,’ said another.<\/p>\n
‘Oh my gosh I’m in tears,’ added one person.<\/p>\n
Someone else said: ‘Me right now because I just got my braids’.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile another person asked how on earth the second gorilla managed to obtain a jacket from within the enclosure.<\/p>\n

The funny video comes after a cheeky monkey caused quite a stir after grabbing a zoo visitor’s phone and turning it around to film her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gracey Sango, 21, and her family were visiting the Jorge Town amusement park in Davao de Oro, Philippines, when they came across a troop of monkeys.<\/p>\n
Everything appeared to be in order as Ms Sango gently fed the monkey with a bit of food.<\/p>\n
However, in a flash the monkey snatched the phone from her causing a moment of sheer panic.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old could be heard screaming and jumping up and down as she begged for the monkey to give her phone back.<\/p>\n
Eventually, one of the other zoo visitors managed to grab the phone back to save Ms Sango’s embarrassment.<\/p>\n
The group can then be heard laughing as they realise what has just happened to them.<\/p>\n
Established in 2016, this amusement destination in Montevista is a popular place for families to visit.<\/p>\n
It also features amenities and activities such as a mini-zoo, swan boat, zip line, and different activities.<\/p>\n
In the Philippines the three most common species of monkey are the crab-eating macaque, the common long-tailed macaque, and the Philippine long-tailed macaque.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that monkeys are illegal to keep as pets in the Philippines, many people still do.<\/p>\n
The rare macaque is said to be endemic in the Philippines and is considered an endangered species.<\/p>\n
\u00a0This was certainly not the first time a cheeky monkey has interacted with a person.<\/p>\n
Last month a hilarious video was posted showing a dogged spider monkey climbing on to a US tourist and pulling her t-shirt down.<\/p>\n
As the animal clambered up the woman’s legs using its prehensile tail and latched itself on to the tourist’s shirt, panic soon set in as she told her friend: ‘I don’t know what to do y’all. I’m scared’.<\/p>\n
