One gorilla showed its curiosity as one zoo-goer was using his iPhone.

It seems that it's not only humans who are mesmerized by their phones.

Jelani the gorilla, who lives in Kentucky’s Louisville Zoo, became engrossed with a tourist using his iPhone as he stood behind the glass of animal’s pen.

The video maker later said: “I stumbled upon the boy sharing pictures with Jelani touring the zoo with my one-year-old daughter. The boy was scrolling through gorilla pictures, and Jelani would motion with his hand to move to the next photo. Both seemed to really enjoy sharing the experience.”

 At one point, the tourist and the ape lean up against the glass together and the animal reads over the man’s shoulder.
