Gorilla Eating Snowballs Is The Perfect Remedy For The Winter Blues

It seems gorillas are a lot like humans when it comes to enjoying fresh snow. After a recent snowfall in England, the Silverback gorillas at Twycross Zoo ventured outside to make themselves some snowballs to eat.

Oumbi, the big Silverback gorilla, is the first to go outside to get himself some of the tasty white stuff. He walks across a tightrope to get to the platform where he can gather the fresh snow together and make himself a huge snow cone.

He’s joined by his older son Lope, who takes advantage of his dad not looking to grab a huge chunk of snow for himself before running back inside to nibble on the frozen refreshment!

Oumbi, particularly, seems to enjoy the frozen treat. There’s no word if Oumbi likes to throw snowballs too. But from the looks of it, snow balls are too precious to throw away.
