    Have seen this advert a few times now, and really quite like it as a modern 2020 take on the Cadbury drumming Gorilla, or the KitKat Pandas. I'm having trouble figuring out if this is a set, or an enclosure in a real zoo. The YouTube version shows a tiger. Does anyone recognise this as a real zoo?

    I think this is Chessington, isn’t it?

    Chessington was my first thought too but couldn't figure out which enclosure it might be. It does look like the area around the Lynx/Ocelot/Binturong (don't think these areas the species currently in this area, it's been a few years since my last visit). It's not their actual gorilla enclosure though! :p

    Could it be Paradise Wildlife Park? I've only been once and don't recognise the specific enclosure. But they've had various filming onsite before. The Tiger featured looks like an Amur - which they also happen to keep
