This is the hilarious moment two gorillas were caught running for cover as they desperately tried to find shelter in the pouring rain.
The bizarre clip – posted on TikTok – captured the intelligent animals running around in panic in their private enclosure at London Zoo.
You can hear someone bursting out laughing as the gorillas dart through the greenery at super speed, eager to protect themselves from the rain.
Perhaps even more curious is that one of the monkeys grabbed something that looked like a coat to protect its mane from the water.
The funny video has left viewers in tears of laughter, with many commenting on how relatable the moment is, as one person joked: ‘Me after getting my hair straightened’.

Perhaps even more curious, one of the monkeys grabbed something that looked like a jacket to protect its mane from possible water damage.
The video unfolds as a monkey darts through its enclosure into an interior space.
One of the monkeys can be seen holding a large green plant – possibly his lunch – in one hand, while covering his head with another.
The camera then follows the animal as it pushes its way through a fence and disappears from view.
Meanwhile, the second gorilla, not wanting to risk getting wet, quickly grabs what looks like a beige jacket.
The quick-thinking animal puts the fur over its head, making sure to cover its entire back and buttocks, as it too makes its way across the terrain.
The hilarious video has racked up 33 million views and over 23,000 comments so far, with the playful duo clearly leaving people in hysterics.

Another said: ‘Looks like my (mother) is running to get the washing out because it’s going to rain.’
“Me when it’s raining and I’ve done my hair and makeup,” said another.
“Oh my god I’m in tears,” one person added.
Someone else said: ‘Me now because I just got my braids’.
Meanwhile, another person asked how on earth the second gorilla managed to get a jacket from the enclosure.

The funny video comes after a cheeky monkey caused 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 seemed fine when Mrs. Sango carefully fed the monkey some food.
But in a flash, the monkey snatched the phone from her, causing a moment of pure panic.
The 21-year-old could be heard screaming and jumping up and down as she begged the monkey to give her phone back.
Eventually, one of the other zoo visitors managed to retrieve the phone to save Ms. Sango.
You then hear the group laughing as they realize what just happened to them.
Founded in 2016, this Montevista entertainment destination is a popular place for families to visit.
It also features amenities and activities such as a mini zoo, swan boat, zip line and various activities.
In the Philippines, the three most common monkey species are the crab-eating macaque, the common long-tailed macaque, and the Philippine long-tailed macaque.
Despite the fact that it is illegal to keep monkeys as pets in the Philippines, many people still do so.
The rare macaque is said to be endemic to the Philippines and is considered an endangered species.
This certainly wasn’t the first time a cheeky monkey had come into contact with a person.
Last month, a hilarious video was posted of a persistent spider monkey climbing on an American tourist and pulling down her T-shirt.
As the animal clambered up the woman’s legs with its prehensile tail and clung to the tourist’s shirt, panic quickly arose when she said to her friend: ‘I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid’.
