Zoo officials in New Orleans hope gorilla sex video will, uh, inspire former Como ape

NEW ORLEANS -- A gorilla sex video is getting regular play here. It's not the sort found easily on the Internet, but officials at the Audubon Zoo are hoping it'll inspire one of their gorillas into action.

Casey, 21, came to New Orleans two years ago on permanent loan from the Como Zoo in St. Paul, Minn.

The hope was that he would impregnate one or all of the Audubon Zoo's three female lowland gorillas - Binti and Fanya, both 28, and Binti's 8-year-old daughter, Praline.

Casey gets along well with Binti, Fanya and Praline, but he hasn't produced any offspring. ``He gets a little intimidated,'' curator Dan Maloney said Friday.

Maloney got a tape of copulating gorillas from a camera used to monitor another zoo's gorilla area. It's played in the indoor cage where Casey spends his nights.

``He doesn't seem that interested at this point, but he likes watching television so he does watch it,'' Maloney said. ``Hopefully, he'll get some inspiration.''
