This is the hilarious moment two gorillas were caught running for cover as they desperately tried to seek shelter in the pouring rain.
The bizarre clip – posted to TikTok – captured the intelligent animals as they raced around in panic at their private enclosure at London Zoo.
A person can be heard erupting with laughter as the gorillas dart across the greenery with super speed, eager to protect themselves from the rain.
Perhaps even more peculiar is that one of the apes grabbed what looked like a jacket to shelter its mane from the water.
The funny video has left viewers in tears of laughter with many saying how relatable the moment is, as one person joked: ‘Me after I got my hair straightened’.

Perhaps even more peculiar, was that one of the apes grabbed what looked like a jacket to shelter its mane from any possible water damage
The video unfolds with one ape darting across its enclosure to an inside space.
One of the apes can be seen clutching a large green plant – possibly its lunch – in one hand, while it used another hand to cover its head.
The camera then follows the animal as it makes its way through a gate and out of sight.
Meanwhile the second gorilla, unwilling to risk getting wet, quickly grabs what appears to be a beige-coloured jacket.
The quick-thinking animal places the coat over the top of its head, making sure it covered its entire back and buttox, as it too makes its way across the grounds.
The hilarious video has so far been viewed 33 million times and has garnered over 23,000 comments, with the playful duo clearly leaving people hysterical.

Another chimed in: ‘Looks like my [mother] running to get the laundry outside because it’s gonna rain’.
‘Me when it’s raining and I have my hair and makeup done,’ said another.
‘Oh my gosh I’m in tears,’ added one person.
Someone else said: ‘Me right now because I just got my braids’.
Meanwhile another person asked how on earth the second gorilla managed to obtain a jacket from within the enclosure.

The funny video comes after a cheeky monkey caused quite a stir after grabbing a zoo visitor’s phone and turning it around to film her.
Gracey Sango, 21, and her family were visiting the Jorge Town amusement park in Davao de Oro, Philippines, when they came across a troop of monkeys.
Everything appeared to be in order as Ms Sango gently fed the monkey with a bit of food.
However, in a flash the monkey snatched the phone from her causing a moment of sheer panic.
The 21-year-old could be heard screaming and jumping up and down as she begged for the monkey to give her phone back.
Eventually, one of the other zoo visitors managed to grab the phone back to save Ms Sango’s embarrassment.
The group can then be heard laughing as they realise what has just happened to them.
Established in 2016, this amusement destination in Montevista is a popular place for families to visit.
It also features amenities and activities such as a mini-zoo, swan boat, zip line, and different activities.
In the Philippines the three most common species of monkey are the crab-eating macaque, the common long-tailed macaque, and the Philippine long-tailed macaque.
Despite the fact that monkeys are illegal to keep as pets in the Philippines, many people still do.
The rare macaque is said to be endemic in the Philippines and is considered an endangered species.
This was certainly not the first time a cheeky monkey has interacted with a person.
Last month a hilarious video was posted showing a dogged spider monkey climbing on to a US tourist and pulling her t-shirt down.
As the animal clambered up the woman’s legs using its prehensile tail and latched itself on to the tourist’s shirt, panic soon set in as she told her friend: ‘I don’t know what to do y’all. I’m scared’.
