RUDE GORILLA GIVES GIRLS THE BIRD!

Sisters interrupt his celery snack

-

BADASS Bob the gorilla has turned into an X-rated attraction at a Colorado zoo, where he’s flipping off shocked kids!

The raunchy western lowland ape was caught giving the naughty middle-finger sign to stunned sisters Arabella, 11, and Arianna, 9, on camera by their mom, Amy, at Colorado Springs’ Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

Later, the ornery encounter was posted on YouTube, where it became a hilarious sensation.

On the brief 21-second video, Amy is heard saying: “I’m taking the video now,” as her girls stand in front of the full-length glass window in the gorilla enclosure.

“This is Bob,” Arianna says before being stopped cold as the peeved primate flips the bird.

The stunned sisters then burst into laughter followed by Arianna telling their mom: “He doesn’t like you very much.”

Later, the sisters’ dad recalled the classic encounter: “We were taking photos of the girls in front of the gorilla exhibit. My wife then switched her iPhone camera from photo to video and told the girls she was now videotapin­g.

“The gorilla sitting directly behind the glass that our girls were standing in front of was eating celery.

“Our youngest daughter, Arianna, began to improvise an introducti­on of the gorilla to the camera” when Bob gave them the finger.

The girls’ dad believes Bob was ticked off because his daughters interrupte­d him while he was chewing on some celery. But there were no hurt feelings.

“Our girls and I immediatel­y burst into hysterical laughter and on the way home from the zoo,” he adds.
