Whilst we humans enjoy watching animal videos, it seems animals may not feel quite the same way. Toronto Zoo has asked visitors to stop holding up their phones to show videos to their gorillas.

Hollie Ross, behavioural husbandry supervisor at Toronto zoo, told Newshour how it all started.

"There was one of our male gorillas Nassir, who's now 13, he was the most interested in it, and I don't know if it was because of his interest that the guests just started showing," says Hollie, adding, "You know one guest sees one person doing it and another person doing it and it snowballs from there."

"You could tell he wanted to see what was on the other side of the phone. Most people bring phones to the zoo for picture taking... and he was just looking over at it and so people would just show him," explains Hollie.

"He was being introduced to his brother at the time and we really wanted them to create a bond... and he was just really focused on videos."

According to a sign at the gorilla enclosure, "some content can be upsetting and affect their relationships and behaviour within their family".
