COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sick of all the rain? Humans aren't the only ones giving the wet weather two opposable thumbs down.
According to WIS-TV, mammal keeper Brooke Hunsinger recently captured video of the gorillas at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, South Carolina, reacting to a torrential downpour.
