When TikTok user Megan Lyn took a recent trip to the Greenville Zoo in South Carolina, she got to experience a rather goofy orangutan’s very chaotic zoomies. Thankfully for the rest of us, Megan generously shared a video of the magnificent moment on TikTok. We owe you, Megan.
Since posting the hilarious clip, the TikTok has garnered over two million views, 291,000 likes, 1,159 comments, and over 152,000 shares. People seriously cannot get over the orangutan’s zoomies. It is truly hysterical.
“This big cutie put on quite the show for us today at the Greenville, SC Zoo!” Megan wrote in the caption of the viral TikTok video.
And indeed, quite a show it was!
Set to the music of T-Pain’s dance hit “Cyclone,” this orangutan spun all around his enclosure, spinning around exactly like a cyclone! The music really makes this video as funny as it is. Around and around and around he went, his fur flying everywhere. He almost looks like a mop came to life.
I would definitely like to go clubbing with this guy. I feel he would make the night so much more fun. Dude has moves!
