I'm a bit torn on this one. On the one hand its easy to see how it could become a problem for the gorilla if it is so engrossed in videos that it ignores behaviors of others to the degree that it becomes a target of bullying or loses status. On the other hand, this is a bit different from a child. The average human child has plenty of opportunity for interactions with many, many other children. It goes on excursions with its family. It almost certainly has _some_ screen time. The child also has very stimulating and varied activities at school every day. I'm sure the zoo provides some enrichment for the gorillas. But since they are in the same environment constantly, I doubt that the staff have the funding or time to really keep them engaged or entertained or challenged on a daily basis. It's quite possible that the apes are extremely bored most of the time and tired of their enclosure. So maybe it can be a wake up call for them to double down on their enrichment activities and consider a little more supervised screen time. But probably they are doing the best they can. I imagine the hardest part is not being able to freely take the gorillas out of that actual enclosure to truly different environments.
