Yet another gorilla is becoming an internet sensation after the primate was photographed giving what appears to be a lecture to a bunch of bystanders.
Kelly, a 30-year-old male western lowland gorilla, was actually catching a treat keepers tossed when the picture was taken, a spokesperson with the Los Angeles Zoo Association told InsideEdition.com.
