“That’s how you make an entrance!” Gorilla scares South Carolina zoo visitors after making a “gentle” arrival in a hilarious TikTok clip
- This is the moment when a cheeky gorilla smoothly enters an enclosure
- A group of gorillas roam around in the viral TikTok clip shared by Tina Flick
- But suddenly one of them enters the room and slides across the floor
This is the moment one zoo visitor was left spooked after a cheeky gorilla made an incredibly smooth entry into an enclosure.
In the viral TikTok clip shared by Tina Flick, a group of gorillas wander through an area hidden behind a glass wall.
But suddenly one of them enters the room and glides across the floor in one fluid movement until it stops in front of the transparent barrier.
The animal, named Cenzoo, a resident of the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, South Carolina, then turns around to present its butt to visitors.
He soon ambles back to where he came from – but not before turning and giving the guests what appears to be a sly look.

A person can be heard laughing in the background as Tina admits, “That scared the shit out of me.”
The clip of the amusing moment shared last week has since garnered millions of views and thousands of comments.
One person wrote, “And THIS is how you make an entrance,” while another said, “You saw that smile… he knew he was smooth with it.”
A third added, “He’s smiling too, he’s done that before,” while a fourth simply said, “Electric slide!”

In response to one of the comments, Tina explained, “He scared me straight away because I really wasn’t [paying] Attention to the door in the room.’
A hashtag used for the TikTok video suggests the gorilla is Cenzoo, a 26-year-old gorilla previously housed at Birmingham Zoo.
The zoo explained, “Like most adult gorillas, Cenzoo spends a lot of time resting, but he also enjoys other activities such as observing the activities of the train behind the primate building, using tools, and participating in training sessions with his zoo keepers.”
