Gorillas go viral for human-like reaction to rain
Sick of the rain? So were these gorillas as they held their babies close and shuffled to avoid the raindrops.

COLUMBIA, South Carolina -- Sick of the rain? So were these gorillas as they held their babies close and shuffled to avoid the raindrops.

In the video, the primates sit in a dry spot at the Riverbanks Zoo. They peek out to see if it's still raining before walking along the wall to escape the weather.

The video went viral after many people were surprised at the very human-like reaction.
