Dancing is a great way of expressing yourself and having fun at the same time! While it might be obvious that people like dancing, there are many other species that love it as well! In fact, the folks at the Dallas Zoo have a gorilla named Zola who does the most amazing thing whenever she is put in a swimming pool!

What’s interesting is that gorillas cannot swim naturally! This is why they usually avoid standing in deep water, but this doesn’t mean that they are afraid of it. You won’t believe what they do whenever rain starts pouring down.

Whenever gorillas are surprised by rain they don’t run away! Instead of looking for cover, these gorillas stay motionless and wait for the rain to end. Isn’t this interesting?
