Two silverback gorillas at the Atlanta Zoo are known for their silly streak.
Willie B. Jr. and his son, Willie B. III, are always ready for playtime. According to the zoo, the good-natured gorillas often run backwards, play in water, or slide down wet hillsides.
In a recent video, Willie B. Jr. can be heard doing a "happy grumble" while playing with his son, a way that gorillas communicate they are content. Then, the tickle fight begins. The gorilla dad begins tickling his son while holding him adoringly. And his son loves every second of it, giggling out loud!
Willie B. Jr. is the only male offspring of one of the zoo's most famous late residents, Willie B., known for his gentle demeanor, starring in a silly luggage commercial, and being a pillar of the Atlanta community. Now his legacy lives on through his descendants!
Watch this father-son gorilla duo have the cutest play time!
