SF Zoo Gorillas Enjoy Playing Boy's Nintendo DS

This was video recorded by my sister, taken today at the San Francisco Zoo. A kid dropped his beloved Nintendo DS video game into the gorilla enclosure and watched helplessly as a mother gorilla and her baby grabbed it and played with it themselves. Eventually, a lady zookeeper came to the rescue and offered them a large pear, at which they then tossed her the game. After all this, it still worked!

(We don't know if the game was Donkey Kong or not.)

Recorded on August 6, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder.

Looked for this because i saw a snapshot of it on Philly MSNBC website on the Weird News Photos section.

I hope it didnt have a violent game in it, or the gorilla will turn into a murderer.

Why would you bring a game system to the zoo? If I am paying money to get your dumb ass into the zoo, you aren't playing Nintendo. If you want to play Nintendo, you can sit in the car for 5 hours!

Nintendo is going back to its roots

There's an animation in Donkey Kong Country Returns: Donkey plays a DS with Diddy watching. I wonder if Nintendo based it off this...
