Video is going viral online showing a gorilla smashing a glass enclosure at the San Diego Zoo. It was a very scary scene!

This video has been all over the internet recently. The gorilla is seen on video charging at the wall with some serious force and smashing a portion of the glass enclosure separating the gorillas from the guests. According to The New York Post, the gorilla is a 10-year-old named Denny. People gasped as it happened and they had to have been scared for their lives! See a video shared by KTLA 5 on YouTube below.

Thankfully, Denny wasn't hurt in the incident and no guests were harmed either. A spokesperson for the San Diego Zoo tells The New York Post, "It is common for male gorillas, especially in adolescence, to express these types of behaviors. Bursts of energy, charging, dragging items, or running sideways are all natural for a young male."

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
