I had some interactions with the enormous Samson (http://www.zoosociety.org/Education/FunStuff/SamsonMemories.php) as a child in Milwaukee. We once made faces at each other in one of those convex security mirrors that had been placed at the corner of his enclosure so he would not be startled by people coming suddenly into view. Gentle and shy to be sure. I'd never want to annoy anything that large and powerful though.

If so, he is most likely terribly lonely and aching for his own kind or some kind of companionship...
