MAKING A SPLASH - GORILLA GOES APE IN WATER

While often referred to as the kings of the jungle, gorillas - for all their might - are notorious hydrophobes. But then there always exists an exception that proves the rule. In this case, a cheeky chappy at Bristol Zoo decided to take the plunge and dive straight into the moat designed to stop him from escaping his enclosure. And while many lesser great apes might shy away from a dip in the pool, this little guy was more than happy to enjoy a splash about in the water. After dipping his toe carefully into the edge, he deemed it was shallow enough for him to have a nice relaxing soak.
