Zola the breakdancing gorilla

(CBS) - Zola, a male gorilla from the Calgary Zoo, is an attraction for several reasons. First, he's a gorilla. Second, he's a dancing superstar. Zola apparently likes to practice for the weekly Zoo dance battles by his cage in the water.

Like any dancer, Zola starts simple by working on his spins, utilizing the wet floor to really get a lot of torque behind his moves. Next is the footwork, and Zola spares no effort in solidifying his foundation in dancing. Although he seems to need a little work in his conditioning, his break dancing skills are awfully impressive.
