Zoo employees had previously warned her against doing this, but she continued, claiming a special bond with him: in an interview with De Telegraaf she said, "When I smile at him, he smiles back".

If only I could have been that one employee who got to visit her in the hospital and whisper "told ya".

Yeah that ain't a 'smile' he was doing

I mean, it looks like a smile, but when gorillas bear their teeth it's an act of aggression. They also think we're being aggressive if we bear our teeth at them (smile).

Somebody should have explained that to her.

They almost certainly did, let's be real.

You bare teeth. Unless you're, like, carrying them with the militia?
