Gorilla plays with Nintendo DS

A gorilla and her son play with a visitor’s Nintendo DS at San Francisco Zoo in America.

Bawang picked up the game when a young boy visiting the zoo dropped it into the gorilla enclosure by accident.

As the adult gorilla turned the game over in her hands, trying to work out what to do with it, her 20-month-old son came over to

have a go himself. His mum wouldn’t let him get his hands on it

and brushed him off.

All this was watched by a crowd who wondered if the gorilla would play a game or would give the DS back to its owner.

Eventually a gamekeeper managed to persuade Bawang to throw back the game in return for an apple.
