Prague: Reality shows is all about monkey business in this city.

Inspired by television reality shows, Czech public radio and television broadcasters have announced that on November 7, they will begin airing a new show that will follow the lives of four gorillas living together at the Prague Zoo.

The show, to be called Odhaleni (Discovery), will see the primates?one male, two females and one baby?battle it out for a grand prize of 12 melons, a delicacy for gorillas.

"What the gorillas do is up to them," said Prague Zoo gorilla trainer Marek Zdansky.

Czech Television will set up 15 cameras to monitor the gorillas, and viewers and listeners of the show will be able to vote via phone messages for their favourite contestant.

Proceeds from the show will help in saving wild gorillas in Africa, organisers said.
