In other news... An interesting illusion picture of a crow went viral as users began to draw what looked like a super-muscular crow, or a crows head with a gorillas body. And thus, 'Crowilla' was born! Soon enough, scientists speak up about the image and explain the strange illusion.

This Silverback gorilla causes the road to come to a standstill when his family needs to cross it.
This is the first fact: monkeys are the best. We can all agree on that, right? Our closest ancestors are smart, cute, sometimes scary, have adorable little hairy human hands, ugly-in-a-painfully-cute-way babies, and well, I want one as a pet. Or more like a companion, like Curious George. I could go on all day about how great monkeys are, but instead I'll give you these 20 facts that will blow. your. mind. and have you Youtubing monkeys for the rest of the work day. Sorry not sorry.
On April 17, 2018, cameras at the Smithsonian Zoo captured a very rare moment. The moment a mother gorilla welcomed into the world a baby boy gorilla. Why is such a big deal? Well, Moke (meaning "junior" or "little one" in the Lingala language) is the first Western Lowland gorilla born in just under a decade. Proud mother Calaya was captured bonding with him moments after his birth, and we are all in love!
Gorillas aren't really known to be super photogenic. But alas... the really are! Well, at least this one. And after seeing the photos we totally understand the Clooney resemblance! Habani the gorilla or as the Japanese call him ikemen, meaning 'handsome guy' lives at the Higashiyama Zoo in Nagoya, Japan and is pretty much breaking hearts! The Dutch-born, Australian-bred spends his days flexing, posing and being the center of everyones social media posts. Just take a look for yourself!
