A VIDEO showing a gibbon freak out after a rat enters its enclosure at a British zoo has gone viral. The ape was filmed having a very human-like panic attack at the sight of an enclosure-invading mouse.

The lar gibbon is seen standing on a wooden post and at one point shooing it away. A second gibbon shows up to help its friend and chases the mouse out of the enclosure.
