My King Kong ?

Boyfriend and I went to see King Kong a couple of weeks ago. After the movie, we both said the same thing.... It had a familiarity to something that had happened to me previously.
A couple of years ago, on a nice sunshiny spring day, we went to the zoo.
It was a perfect warm breezy day and all of the animals were outside, versus being inside their indoor cages.
I won't go into all of the beautiful animals that we saw...Oh, the White Tiger.
He was so gorgeous; I would say my absolute favorite.
He was lying off to the side, not being sociable. This frustrated me, as I wanted to see him up close.
At the end of the day, we went back to take a look at the Big Cats on the inside.
As soon as we (no one else was around) got to the window where the White Tiger lived, he came right up to the window and stood as if he were posing for us for nearly two minutes ~ inches away from the glass. It was just out of the blue. He walked up in front of us and just stood there showing himself off, almost as if he had realized how much I wanted to see him up close. He then went back and laid down in his original spot, which was too far away for good viewing.
I was thrilled.
...Oh, sorry, I got off track a bit.
That wasn't what reminded us of King Kong.
We went to see the monkeys. They were so cute, swinging and playing.
Then we went on to the area where the gorillas were. The gorillas were in a huge open grassy area with trees and hills to run around. There was a ravine in between the grounds and the area where zoo visitors could view them, behind glass. There were several people already there looking at them.

I was wearing a red jacket.
As soon as I walked in, the Big Boy saw me.
His head turned and he looked right at me.
As I walked in further, he continued to watch me, never taking his eyes off of me.
He even showed off a little by standing up~pounding his chest and screeching.
This went on for a while.
I leaned over and asked boyfriend..."Is it just me or is that gorilla looking at me?" He laughed and said "No, he is watching you and apparently he likes you."
I waved a little and he never took his eyes off of me.
After a while we decided to leave.
He stared at me the entire time, until I was out of sight.
Boyfriend said they pick up on scent, and he must have liked the way I smell.
I say, it was the red jacket.
Nevertheless, it was a bit bizarre.
So, after King Kong, we were both thinking the same thing, and had a good laugh....the memory of my gorilla friend at the zoo.
