The male gorillas who were caught in the act are Aybo, three-and-a-half, and Thabo, three.

The gorillas, who appear to know they’ve been caught, can be seen embracing in multiple ways and even give the stunned photographer a guilty glance.

However, despite their awkward eye contact, the gorillas don’t seem to mind their audience as the selection of photographs show.

Shirley said: “They were doing some adult things with each other playfully.

“Before and after they were running around with some toys they were given by the zookeepers.

“So they were just in a playful mood and enjoyed each other’s company.

“It was great watching these two boys having fun together – they made me laugh and it was very unique capturing them on camera.”
