We are all aware of a man’s behaviour and expressions after he gets into an argument with a woman. He broods and overthinks a lot afterwards, right? But did you know that in the gorilla world, the scenario might be similar? A gorilla from Japan’s Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden in Nagoya is going viral for the same reason.

In a viral video posted on X by @FLCons, Kiyomasa can be seen sitting quietly after an alleged argument with a female gorilla, believed to be his mate. With his head lowered and seemingly lost in thought, the 13-year-old gorilla appears to be deep in contemplation. The video also shows him brooding with expressions that look surprisingly human-like. His behaviour struck a chord with netizens online, who joked that he was going through the same relationship problems as humans.

Kiyomasa’s ‘Philosopher Pose’ Leaves The Internet Amused

In the video, Kiyomasa is sitting on steps and resting his chin on his hand in a pose many are comparing to a philosopher or a human deep in thought. After a while, he starts gazing into the distance with a contemplative expression on his face. Honestly, the gorilla not only looks human-like but also super adorable.

According to India Today, Kiyomasa is the son of Shabani, the zoo’s famous silverback gorilla who garnered international attention for his striking looks and massive fan following. The video has gone viral and prompted not just jokes but also claims from some people that the clip must be AI-generated. There were some funny comments under the video, too.

One user wrote, “he is definitely rethinking his life choices.” Another commented, “He needs his alone time.” A third user simply wrote, “Bro hit the four poses of regret.” There was also a comment that read, “Damn, what did I do to make her that mad?” Honestly, that one made us laugh out loud.
