- Shaquille O’Neal says gorillas freak out when he comes near, and Zoo Miami executive confirms they are intimidated by his enormous size
- During a recent episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” the former NBA big man explained that gorillas freak out when he shows up at zoos and that they want to fight him. Shaq even called an executive from Zoo Miami during the podcast who confirmed the tale.
The conversation came up when Shaq was contemplating whether to let his gray hair grow out, joking that he would be a “silverback” gorilla and not a “silver fox.”
This led to Shaq, a huge zoo aficionado, explaining how gorillas react to his size when he shows up.
“True story,” Shaq said. “I’ve been to every zoo in the world, and every time I go to the gorilla section, they look at me like, ‘Hey man, where your fur at?’ For real. For real. That’s how they look at me. They also look at me like, ‘What am I doing in here and you out there?’ And they always go crazy when they see me.”
