A pair of mischievous gorillas were seemingly caught in the throes of passion at a zoo in the Netherlands.

The male gorillas, who appear as though they’re caught in the act, were identified as Aybo and Thabo.

The naughty pair, who are both residents at Rotterdam Zoo, were spotted by Shirley Kroos, 30, while she was visiting the zoo earlier this week.

They were caught embracing in multiple ways – and positions – in front of Shirley.

However, despite their awkward eye contact directly at the camera, the gorillas, who are both three-years-old, don’t seem to mind their audience, as a selection of photographs reveal they carried on regardless of the company.

Shirley said: ‘They were doing some adult things with each other playfully. Before and after they were running around with some toys they were given by the zookeepers.



‘So they were just in a playful mood and enjoyed each other’s company.

‘It was great watching these two boys having fun together – they made me laugh and it was very unique capturing them on camera.’
