A few years ago, the Werribee Open Range Zoo in Melbourne, Australian let two comedians dress up in gorilla suits and try out the unfinished gorilla enclosure as part of a prank for the popular Australian TV show, The Hamish & Andy Show.
The zoo’s visitors stood amazed through the entire prank as the two funny men tested the waters to see just how far they could go while still having the crowd believe they were actual gorillas.
Meet Werribee Open Range Zoo’s newest addition: Yukini and Ganaka
The zoo’s visitors were stunned by the gorillas, and stood taking pictures while the animals groomed, played, and wrestled with one another.
However, Yukini and Ganaka aren’t real gorillas. They’re actually two Australian comedians named Hamish Blake and Andy Lee dressed up in gorilla suits.
As part of the prank, Hamish and Andy test the crowd to see what they could get the zoo’s visitors to believe. They even go so far as to ride a bike.
Which left Doctor Chris trying to come up with feasible explanations for the gorillas’ incredible talents.
“So the keeper would have taught him that,” Doctor Chris explained.
