This is the adorable moment N’Dowe the silverback gorilla tried leaves for lunch and really quite liked them!

The filmer told Newsflare: “N’Dowe gets up and has a little jump to get hold of the tree branch from the other habitat. He really stretches to get to those leaves.

“When he's got a bunch, he sits back down again and just look at that face! His eyes say it all!”

The clip was filmed on July 3 at Paignton Zoo in Devon.

This is the Western lowland gorilla N’Dowe (pronounced Endovay) from the Paignton Zoo in England. He's the Silverback of the bachelor group. He's sitting there with his lunch, some tree branches he got from the keepers, but he discarded those and keeps looking up. Something much more interesting grows on the other side. He gets up and has a little jump to get hold of the tree branch from the other habitat. He really stretches to get to those leaves. When he's got a bunch, he sits back down again and just look at that face! His eyes say it all. It's something special. While eating he already looks up again, contemplating if he get get some more and that's what he does, gets himself another portion.
