Humans Go Ape Over Bellowing Gibbon At Nagoya Zoo
A punky gibbon has shot to stardom here because his bellowing roar sounds like he's aping a drunken middle-aged office worker bungee jumping off a skyscraper in the bowels of a bar-packed downtown district on a particularly boisterous Friday night. Video was shot on July 25,2017,Japan.Quite ironic since those type of roaring "ossan" (a nonsubtle way of saying "oldish guy" in Japan) cause most of us to run a mile when encountered in everyday life.The male siamang Keiji, however, is pulling in punters at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens due to what is being called the "ossan's call."Videos of his noisy antics are being posted and shared on the Internet and visitors are now traveling to Nagoya's Chikusa Ward just to hear the ape, firmly in middle-aged territory at 30-plus, holler loudly in their faces.
