Hygiene-Conscious Gorilla Walks Around on 2 Legs Just to Keep Hands Clean

The Philadelphia Zoo’s Michael Stern, the curator of primates and small mammals, said the zoo installed a fire hose like a tight-rope over a puddle in his enclosure so Louis could also avoid the mud.

Mr Stern said the human-like behavior is “pretty unusual” for a gorilla. Louis, who has been at the Zoo since July 2014, is a Western lowland gorilla.

The gorillas would usually only adopt the upright stance for a few seconds to reach for food or wade into swamps in the wild, the Associated Press report.
