The New King of Azonto dance

it is perhaps too early in his jiving career to describe this young gorilla as the king  of the dancefloor or you can call it Azonto.
But he is certainly a pretender to the throne as he enthusiastically ‘throws shapes’ while standing at the very top of a pole.
The two-year-old gorilla, called Bangui, was photographed by Florence Perroux, a conservation officer at La Palmyre Zoo in Les Mathes, France.
 
A young gorilla called Bangui gets into the groove on top of a pole in front of his appreciative audience
‘This young male is just experimenting with chest beating, the typical display of silverbacks.
 
‘Young gorillas often beat their chest and they love  clapping their hands. It’s really funny to observe.
‘But instead of his chest, he beats his inner thighs, which is also a game for him.

He appears to give a cheeky smile mid-way through his routine
Don't stop dancing! The young gorilla shows of his moves, which are actually a way of gaining attention
