TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 4 (UPI) — Visitors to an Ohio zoo captured video of an orangutan mesmerized by watching videos of her fellow primates on a zoo-goer’s cellphone.

The video, posted to YouTube by Lauren Burton, shows the Toledo Zoo orangutan pushing her face up to the glass to watch orangutan videos on a cellphone held up to the glass by Burton’s brother, Evan.

The mesmerized primate even pulled up a blanket to sit on while she watched the videos.

“My family and I visited the Toledo Zoo this summer, and my brother Evan had an amazing idea: Put a YouTube video of orangutans on his phone and see what would happen. She not only watched it intently, but also grabbed her blanket and snuggled up to the glass!” Burton wrote in the video’s description.
