Since debuting in the late 2000s, the band has crafted an artful catalog of music that is seemingly untethered to time and place. Highlights like 2013's Lucifer in the Rain and 2016's Instant Evening helped expand their audience even as the group continued to foster an identity cloaked in mystique. Zoos of Berlin began the next decade with 2021's Here and There Fading and Riding and 2023's Busy With People.
Zoos of Berlin was formed in 2005 by guitarist and vocalist Trevor Naud and bassist and vocalist Daniel E. Clark; both are veterans of the Detroit music scene, having played together in the upbeat pop combo Red Shirt Brigade, while Naud has also worked with Pas/Cal and Hidden Ghost Balloon Ship. Eager to step out on their own, Naud and Clark teamed up with drummer Collin Dupuis, a musician and recording engineer who has worked with techno legend Carl Craig and records his own experimental music as DJ Indoor Fishing, and soon Zoos of Berlin were up and running. During the group's first few years, additional musicians drifted in and out of the lineup, but with the addition of Will Yates (of the Pop Project and the Javelins) on keyboards, Zoos of Berlin discovered the right formula and began making a name for themselves with their tight but enthusiastic live performances. The group recorded their debut album in a makeshift recording facility set up by Dupuis at Detroit's Russell Industrial Center, and the recordings were later mixed at Carl Craig's studio. Self-released in 2009, Taxis earned Zoos of Berlin enthusiastic reviews in the Detroit press as well as the national indie music media, winning the group some well-deserved exposure outside their hometown. 2011 saw the formation of South South Million, an ambient project consisting solely of Naud and Clark. Once back as a full band, the Pallister Chant EP arrived also in 2011, followed in 2013 by the group's second long-player, the Time No Place-issued Lucifer in the Rain. Meanwhile, the band's members continued to follow their own paths, with Naud releasing an ambient solo project under the name Phineas Olive A. and DuPuis mixing records for artists like Angel Olsen and Lana Del Rey. Zoos of Berlin reconvened in Detroit in 2016 to record the lush Instant Evening, which was released in November of that year. By this point guitarist Matt Howard (Javelins) had joined the group, expanding their ranks to a quintet. Another five years passed, during which Naud and Clark released another ambient outing as South South Million. Preceded by a pair of 2020 singles, Zoos of Berlin's fourth album, Here and There Fading and Riding, arrived in September 2021. Singles for a follow-up began appearing in the months after HaTFaR's release, though the full album would not arrive until November 2023 in the form of Busy With People, their fifth full-length.

Given that to a gorilla, showing your teeth is basically the same showing someone the middle-finger, I honestly don't blame him for being pissed off that the woman kept smiling at him.

@Brutalyte616 Yeah, it's basically mammal for "come at me, bro."
Brutalyte616
Actually it's less an insult and more of a threat. To an ape, there is little distinction between a friendly smile and a vicious snarl with intent to kill and maim. Now beating your chest? THAT is a middle finger to a gorilla.

some animals when stressed eat their babies as a survival mechanism, (for the mother), it costs a lot of energy, especially for mammals to feed their young, and care for them; if stress gets too high, which in nature means a hostile environment and dangerous predators this response gives the mother back all that fuel so she can escape and move to a safer area to breed again.

Yeah but the thing with the kid and the polar bears...well...it originally started out as a dare to go in the sea lion exhibit. But he and his friends CHOSE to go into the polar bear one instead

I mean, it's not just wild animals. The amount of times I see a cat attack it's owners and them being caught totally off guard is amazing.
Like, dude, you're blocking her only exit by standing there...

Granted, cat's are barely domesticated.

The name orangutan translates to 'man of the forest' in the Malay language. in many tales people learned about some medical herbs from orangutans due to them chewing plants into paste and apply it. If i remember correctly orangutans are even considered citizens in someplace.

Gorilla challenge each other by smiling. She was challenging them every day. Talk sh*t get smashed
