Il gorilla “filosofo” diventa il nuovo caso virale sui social: la storia di Kiyomasa e il “segreto” del suo Dna

10 June 2026 at 15:15

Seduto in silenzio, con lo sguardo fisso davanti a sé e una posa che ricorda quella di chi è immerso nei propri pensieri. È così che un gorilla è riuscito a conquistare migliaia di utenti sui social, diventando in poche ore protagonista di meme, commenti e condivisioni. Il protagonista della vicenda si chiama Kiyomasa, un gorilla di pianura occidentale ospitato nello zoo e giardino botanico di Higashiyama, nella città giapponese di Nagoya. In un video diventato virale, l’animale appare seduto da solo mentre tiene un braccio incrociato sul petto e una mano vicino alla bocca, assumendo una postura che molti hanno interpretato come quella di qualcuno intento a riflettere profondamente.

Secondo le ricostruzioni circolate online, il filmato sarebbe stato registrato poco dopo un momento di tensione con la sua compagna. Un dettaglio che ha contribuito a rendere il video ancora più virale. In poche ore Kiyomasa è stato “memato” dagli utenti di tutto il mondo: la sua espressione assorta e lo sguardo fisso nel vuoto sono diventati il punto di partenza per battute, fotomontaggi e commenti ironici. C’è chi lo ha associato a chi ripensa a una discussione appena avuta, chi alle preoccupazioni della vita quotidiana e chi, più semplicemente, ha scherzato dicendo di sentirsi esattamente come lui dopo una lunga giornata. Da qui il soprannome di “gorilla filosofo”, che ha rapidamente accompagnato la diffusione del video sui social.

Il successo è nel DNA

Kiyomasa, 13 anni, non è inoltre un gorilla qualsiasi. È infatti figlio di Shabani, uno dei gorilla più celebri del Giappone, diventato negli anni una vera e propria attrazione per i visitatori dello zoo grazie alla sua notorietà sui social e all’affetto conquistato tra gli appassionati di fauna selvatica. Che stesse davvero riflettendo o semplicemente riposando, poco importa agli utenti della rete. Per molti, quel breve filmato è bastato per trasformare Kiyomasa nel nuovo fenomeno virale del momento.

Spunta un cinghiale tra gli ombrelloni, poi entra in mare davanti a decine di bagnanti: la scena fa il giro dei social

10 June 2026 at 14:59

Una presenza insolita ha attirato l’attenzione di residenti e turisti sul litorale di Agropoli, nel Cilento. Un cinghiale è stato infatti avvistato sulla spiaggia di San Marco, dove dopo aver raggiunto la battigia ha deciso di entrare in acqua, probabilmente alla ricerca di un po’ di refrigerio nelle ore più calde della giornata.

La scena, com’è ovvio, non è passata inosservata. Numerosi bagnanti hanno assistito all’episodio, e hanno ripreso l’animale con smartphone e videocamere. In pochi minuti immagini e filmati hanno iniziato a circolare sui social, suscitando curiosità e commenti tra gli utenti. Il cinghiale è rimasto in acqua per alcuni minuti, nuotando a breve distanza dalla riva sotto lo sguardo sorpreso dei presenti. Successivamente è tornato sulla spiaggia e si è allontanato senza causare problemi o situazioni di pericolo.

Non è la prima volta che un cinghiale viene avvistato in contesti insoliti nel Cilento. Negli ultimi anni la presenza di questi animali è stata segnalata sempre più spesso nei pressi di abitazioni, strade e località turistiche, soprattutto durante i mesi estivi. La ricerca di acqua e cibo, unita alle alte temperature, può infatti spingere gli esemplari a spostarsi verso aree frequentate dall’uomo.

@giornalista.cilen ???? Ospite inatteso tra i bagnanti: un cinghiale si rinfresca nel mare di Agropoli Tra i tanti turisti che stanno affollando le spiagge del lungomare San Marco ad Agropoli, oggi a catturare l’attenzione è stato un visitatore davvero insolito. Un cinghiale è stato avvistato mentre si rinfrescava nelle acque a pochi metri dalla riva, sotto gli occhi increduli di bagnanti e passanti. La scena ha subito attirato curiosità e smartphone, con numerosi video e fotografie condivisi sui social. Non è la prima volta che gli animali selvatici si spingono fino alle aree urbane e costiere del Cilento, ma vedere un cinghiale fare il bagno in mare resta uno spettacolo decisamente raro e sorprendente. ????
