The zoo posted video of what happened next on its YouTube page.

"What you can see behind me is the torso of a Canucks fan," said astaff person speaking on the video. "We're going to see what our gorilla troop thinks of that."

Several gorillas then approach the jersey. One animal begins to pull the straw out of it, tosses the jersey around and then eventually drapes it over its shoulders.

The video ends with a close-up shot of the gorilla staring off into space as the jersey rests against the side of its face.
