TL;DR Summary

The Toronto Zoo is asking visitors to refrain from showing cellphone videos and photos to its gorillas, as some content can be upsetting and affect their relationships and behavior within their family. While no significant behavioral changes have been observed, the zoo wants to ensure the gorillas' lives remain as natural as possible.

The zoo already allows controlled viewing of nature documentaries for the gorillas and wants to ensure the content they see is appropriate.
