A gorilla got into a nasty fight with its sibling at a zoo, and as a safety precaution — docs gave him a coronavirus test … which they documented in some incredible shots.
This is Shango, a 31-year-old, 433 lb. lowland gorilla who lives at the Miami Zoo — and earlier this week, he got into a brawl with his brother, Barney … suffering some injuries in the process. Shango was bitten and scratched up — so to be safe, they got him ‘rona tested.
Looks like a team of vets put Shango under to do the procedure and to also attend to his wounds. As you can see, he’s got a deep gash on his hand after apparently being bitten. As far as the COVID test, the ape got the best of the best that’s out there … a nasal swab.
