Donkey Kong plays Donkey Kong while Donkey Kong Jr. watches. OK, maybe he’s not playing DK, but it’s just as good. The story involves a kid, a couple of real gorillas at the San Francisco Zoo and a happy ending.

On August 6, amateur photographer Chris Spicuzza was spending her day at the San Francisco Zoo, taking photos of the gorillas. While she was there, a kid accidentally dropped his Nintendo DSi XL into their habitat. Curiously, one of the big gorillas grabbed it, and started to play with it. A baby gorilla saw it from the distance and, naturally, he came by, wanting to play with it too.
