Turns out humans aren\u2019t the only ones who get down and dirty for sexual pleasure.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

A pair of frisky gorillas at the Bronx Zoo proved that when one was filmed performing oral sex on its partner in front of aghast zoo-goers. A clip of the NSFW scene is currently blowing up on social media \u2014 but animal experts report that it\u2019s all completely normal.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI was shocked and had no idea that was a \u2018natural\u2019 act,\u201d the videographer, who has opted to remain anonymous, told The Post of the steamy spectacle, which he captured while visiting the iconic NYC zoo with his family.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cI was in the gorilla exhibit with my 4-year-old daughter and niece,\u201d he said. \u201cMy wife had to stay out of the exhibit with my sleeping son, so I wanted to capture a lot of video.\u00a0Then this magic happened.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The resulting footage shows the giving simian servicing his partner while they\u2019re splayed out on the ground as onlookers guffaw and turn their children away.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Reps for the Bronx Zoo, who were previously unaware of the video, had no comment when reached by The Post for comment.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, this isn\u2019t the first time gorillas have been observed going sextracurricular at the boogie-down Bronx venue. Seven years ago, a Redditor posted a raunchy pic that\u00a0depicted two of the facility\u2019s animals<\/a>\u00a0embraced in what is known colloquially as the \u201c69 position\u201d in front of kids.<\/p>\n

Great ape fellatio may seem unorthodox, but it\u2019s really not. Oral sex is actually fairly common throughout the animal kingdom with sightings of species ranging from cheetahs to bears and bats engaging in the salacious act,\u00a0the BBC has reported.<\/a><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In fact,\u00a0many\u00a0<\/em>species engage in sex for pleasure. Bonobos \u2014 also known as hippie apes \u2014 have infamously kinky sex lives.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWhereas the chimpanzee shows little variation in the sexual act, bonobos behave as if they have read the Kama Sutra \u2014 performing every position and variation one can imagine,\u201d Steven D. Pinkerton, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, confirmed in the book \u201cSexual Nature\/Sexual Culture<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
