The Red Mountain Gorilla Gazes at the Sky with a Cinematic Feel

Recently, the gorillas at Hongshan Forest Zoo in Nanjing, Jiangsu, have been up to something again! One gorilla stood on a wooden stump gazing at the sky, creating a scene full of cinematic atmosphere that attracted many netizens' attention. These four gorillas arrived in Nanjing from the Netherlands in February this year and have been playfully nicknamed the "Wild Vegetable F4" by netizens. Hongshan Forest Zoo in Nanjing boasts a prime location, with Purple Mountain to the east and Xuanwu Lake to the south, featuring a unique forest landscape. The zoo houses over 3,000 rare wild animals from more than 260 species, with more than 20 animal exhibition areas divided into three main zones. The Dahongshan Zone includes the tiger and bear areas; the Fangniushan Zone features the koala and gorilla pavilions; and the Xiaohongshan Zone has the tropical bird pavilion. Among them, the China Felidae Pavilion has been shortlisted for Zoolex, with a design that meets international advanced standards. Visitors here can observe various animals up close, experience the wonders of nature, and enjoy a relaxing and novel experience. As a national 4A-level tourist attraction and a national popular science education base, this place offers both entertainment and learning opportunities. Come to Hongshan Forest Zoo in Nanjing, check in on the gorillas' interesting moments, and embark on a wonderful animal adventure!
