The chances are that so many people made this gesture to him that he is thinking "Hey, look, I can communicate with you humans".

[–]paranoidpopsicle[!] 64 points65 points ago

Monkey see, monkey do

[–]single_cell 24 points25 points ago

Gorillas are apes, not monkeys. Subtle taxonomical difference!

[–]vivvav 7 points8 points ago

TAXONOMY YAAAAAY!
Wait I don't know what that is.
Ok, just looked it up.
TAXONOMY YAAAAAY!

[–]ccm139 4 points5 points ago

You're wrong. The term monkey is used broadly not in scientific terms. So you could refer to this creature as a monkey if you'd like..

[–]single_cell 15 points16 points ago

Broadly, if inaccurately. It's like calling a dolphin a fish. Sure, you could refer to a gorilla as a monkey, if you'd like... to be incorrect.

[–]jargoon 1 point2 points ago

The best kind of incorrect

[–]ccm139 -1 points0 points ago

Um your analogy is correct.. The rest of your post is tripe.

[–]ewok_breath -3 points-2 points ago

I think it was just a metaphor.

[–]comradenu 1 point2 points ago

No, it's just a common idiom.

[–]single_cell 0 points1 point ago

Sure it was, but reddit is all about showing off useless shit you know that other people don't, right? RIGHT, GUYS?

[–]khiron 0 points1 point ago

Your username is quite relevant.

[–]Chaser007 1 point2 points ago

[–]xasey 0 points1 point ago

Since that saying is usually referring to humans, well... oh, I guess there's still a subtle taxonomical difference, so carry on.

[–]Bomber_Man 0 points1 point ago

read that as taxidermical difference... Thought you had an interesting hobby.

[–]goal2004 -5 points-4 points ago

All humans are apes, and all apes are monkeys. They're not separate, only a larger group.

[–]Jakepremier 13 points14 points ago

We're all primates. Monkeys have tails. Apes don't.

[–]single_cell 7 points8 points ago

No apes are monkeys, and no monkeys are apes. Both are primates, however.

[–]wolfgame 3 points4 points ago

Well that sure didn't take long to find.

[–]Le_Pretender 9 points10 points ago

Anytime I go to the zoo I make it my life's work to teach every primate the symbol for fuck you or how to jack-off. I try to sneak the jacking off lesson in between the slow hours otherwise the penguins get all hot and bothered.

[–]Spunky_Meatballs 2 points3 points ago

More like monkey doodoo

[–]IsAnyoneHungry 4 points5 points ago

Monkey pee all over you.

[–]Aviator8989 1 point2 points ago

That...rhymes.

[–]Elmos_Voice 1 point2 points ago

Monkey see, monkey say fuck you

[–]Bakerpd4 1 point2 points ago

Monkey finger smell like monkey poo

[–]mypantsareonmyhead 1 point2 points ago

On that note, I saw a chimpanzee at the zoo take a dump into the palm of its own hand. Then casually eat it.

To the shrieking horror of the crowd.

[–]sickofyourshit1999 -2 points-1 points ago

MOonKkeyY pee! MONKEY POOOO00O0OOO0! LOL qEeEetT itT??? :PPPPPPPPPPPP

[–]iamagainstit 2 points3 points ago

I wonder if he was just making had signs or actually trying to imitate people.

[–]Tebaxx 2 points3 points ago

[–]pissoutofmyass 2 points3 points ago

Why?

[–]PeppermintDinosaur 41 points42 points ago

[–]lamenralus 13 points14 points ago

Someone PhotoShop this and make it so that he tosses a downvote when he makes that tossing gesture right before walking away please.

[–]Syreus 2 points3 points ago

And a funny hat!

[–]lamenralus 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't see it any other way!

[–]SPER 5 points6 points ago

I looks to me like he has to take a shit really badly. Look at how hes walking.. "Ohh shit ohh shit, clench clench, a little further"

[–]MySexAndDrugsAccount 19 points20 points ago

This is Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC. This gorilla had a broken finger.

[–]OCTOBROwasTAKEN 6 points7 points ago

This gorilla is dead now. I'm sorry.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]VernonLittle -1 points0 points ago

I think he was serious. Also, your 'caps lock' key is on the left.

[–]redditsuxdicks 0 points1 point ago

How do you know what smart phone he is using?

[–]throwawayfactcheck 0 points1 point ago

That was my first thought. I can't really remember how the exhibit was set up (I haven't been there in... seven years? Christ, I want to go back now, I went all the time when I was really little.), but they totally have a bird-flipping gorilla.

[–]HuxleyBomb 1 point2 points ago

I knew it! I've seen this gorilla before. Riverbanks zoo is pretty great.

[–]Tmeesseman 1 point2 points ago

I was just there today with my kids.

[–]Notsocommon_sense 23 points24 points ago

I hope she learned her lesson

[–]Hudek 6 points7 points ago

I like how this was copied right out of /r/fuckanimals Good on you, OP.

[–]Kalmah666 1 point2 points ago

TIL there's a subreddit of people telling dogs and cats to go fuck themselves

[–]xORioN63 8 points9 points ago

[–]Directors_Cut 11 points12 points ago

Its amazing that the level of intelligence amongst those two creatures is actually the same...

[–]echis 7 points8 points ago

If that's the zoo I'm thinking it is, she broke that finger when she was younger, and since you can't exactly convince a gorilla to wear a cast, it healed that way.

[–]MySexAndDrugsAccount 2 points3 points ago

Yup, Riverbanks zoo.

[–]redrumpanda -1 points0 points ago

OMG my ppl I'm from SC XD i saw this picture and thought to myself man that's gotta be our zoo

[–]awwaygirl 3 points4 points ago

scientific proof of evolution.

[–]willrd88 2 points3 points ago

If you don't give me a banana then FUCK you!

[–]tagjim 3 points4 points ago

99% genetically identical. Maybe the bird is in our DNA.

[–]VernonLittle 0 points1 point ago

Or maybe the gorilla has a broken finger, as many have said.

[–]vuxa 4 points5 points ago

[–]Wonka_Vision 2 points3 points ago

I have no idea what this means, but I love it so much.

[–]VernonLittle 0 points1 point ago

You might, but i bet it's a rustling jimmies joke and not as cool as you think.

[–]Hey_you3 -3 points-2 points ago

[–]JaqHammerJesus 1 point2 points ago

All I see are the smiling rocks in the background

[–]Gimpster 0 points1 point ago

I thought I was the only one! First thing I noticed.

[–]fnm1 1 point2 points ago

Looks like the Omaha Zoo?

[–]SlugsOnToast 0 points1 point ago

"Welcome to Earth, fuckface."

[–]zeekar 0 points1 point ago

Atlanta Zoo?

[–]9460510 1 point2 points ago

Man, fuck gorillas.

[–]Dafuq_me 0 points1 point ago

Gotta train them at an early age, right?

[–]TacticalLego 1 point2 points ago

She better watch out before he goes Ape Shit on her ass.

[–]SpotlessMiind 0 points1 point ago

The child looks curious

[–]0mfg0rz 0 points1 point ago

That ape must not like Dora the explorer very much...

[–]oglerintheocean 0 points1 point ago

Shoop'ed.

[–]whood22 1 point2 points ago

That better be Cheyenne Mountain!

[–]Zrk2[!] 0 points1 point ago

He probably would, apes are crazy, like little humans with no social constraints.

[–]wwwyzzrd 1 point2 points ago

Lets get this guy a conservative radio program.

Tragic.

[–]Mysterian 1 point2 points ago

I'd like to imagine that ape going back to his buddies and the conversation going something like this:

[–]PUAComic 0 points1 point ago

She started it.

[–]westcoastpopart -1 points0 points ago

monkeys are fucking disgusting.

[–]alfrednugent 0 points1 point ago

Mommy, the gorilla's is telling me to go fuck myself again.

Well honey, show him the jerk off hand motion I taught you.

[–]rikashiku 0 points1 point ago

Ape: You didn't come here to see a monkey, you came here to see this bird right here. See this flippin bird, bitch?!

[–]bigredlumberjack 0 points1 point ago

I just woke up my wife laughing at this. I had to explain to her that I am laughing at a picture of gorilla flipping off a little girl. She wasn't amused.

[–]fuckinDEAD 1 point2 points ago

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN HEY FUCK YOU

[–]Pariah_Dog 0 points1 point ago

At first I had the sads, then this made me feel better

[–]wrath4771 1 point2 points ago

I don't know why anyone thinks this is funny - the little girl had it coming.

[–]moesyzlack[!] 0 points1 point ago

OK

[–]PhillyFill 1 point2 points ago

He must have rustled his jimmies

[–]justsayswhitepeople 0 points1 point ago

white people

[–]originalis 0 points1 point ago

What deeply saddens me is that SOMEONE had to teach the monkey. Fuck this world is becoming more and more pathetic. Go on, give the monkey a finger when you're not behind some protective glass, idiot.

[–]thegreatRMH 0 points1 point ago

Or it could just be pointing with its middle finger, not knowing that it's an obscene gesture. When I was a little kid I did that all the time until someone told me it meant something bad.

[–]elijahblake 0 points1 point ago

[–]Kutchyx 0 points1 point ago

Yes human child, I'm giving you the finger.

[–]giancarlolorenzo 0 points1 point ago

ROFL. Hilarious

[–]Raymond890 0 points1 point ago

Boy, someone really rustled his jimmies today.

[–]CyborgCraig 0 points1 point ago

This link wasn't blue, but I swear I saw it a few hours ago... Maybe I'm redditing too much...

[–]yummystevo 0 points1 point ago

Gorilla: "Go tell your mommy that I showed you this finger"

Little girl: "Hey mommy! Look what the gorilla told me to do!"

Mommy: THWACK!

Anyone else think the cliff wall looks like Einstein sticking out his tounge?

[–]scootyonover 0 points1 point ago

that rock in the backgrounds grinning its ass off

[–]ExplodingUnicorns 1 point2 points ago

That gorilla is getting a little hostile there, Bill. Better bring out the tranquilizers.

[–]Mrgonzomd 1 point2 points ago

The Gorilla Habitat at the Henry Doorly(Omaha) Zoo is amazing, but all the Gorillas are assholes.

[–]Irish_lad 1 point2 points ago

This zoo looks really familiar. Where is this taken?

[–]MySexAndDrugsAccount 3 points4 points ago

Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC.

[–]Raymond890 0 points1 point ago

Shit, I used to go there all the time.

[–]faRawrie -1 points0 points ago

That looks like the gorilla exhibit at the Asheboro Zoo in NC.

[–]OnlyAMuffin 1 point2 points ago

Everytime a girl says "fuck you" I always reply back with "when?" and then everyone's like eww you asked that fat guy to fuck and I'm like I gotta lose weight.

[–]superswan 0 points1 point ago

Looks like the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

[–]echis 1 point2 points ago

That's what I was thinking too.

[–]Helpfulandattractive 1 point2 points ago

Instead of C. Springs, I'm gonna say I'm from Manitou to avoid reddits wrath.
