Many viewers are comparing Zola’s dance to the famous water scene in the 1983 movie Flashdance and social media was quick to add the the Flashdance music, Maniac , to the video.
“Zola’s ‘dancing’ is really just a play behaviour (there was no breakdance music playing in the building, we promise),” the Dallas Zoo said in a news release. The zoo says the pool is part of an enrichment programme provides the primate with ‘mental and physical stimulation.’
