Shufai is having a great time with the wood shavings. Throwing it all over himself and running around like a clown.
When Shufai decides to go into the inside enclosure, his big brother Lope decides that he's having none of it and pulls Shufai back out of the door. When you look at Ozala you can just imagine her huffing and thinking 'Son, sometimes you can be a real jerk'. Shufai run straight to mum, but he couldn't help going back to the door to have a peek through it to see what his brother is up to. Afterwards he just carried on playing and being silly.
Shufai is the youngest of the family member, he was born on the 24th September 2016.
The gorilla family at Twycross consists of 6 members. Oumbi the big male silverback, Ozala the mum of Lope and Shufai. Grandma Bidi and Asante.
In 2009 Oumbi joined Twycross zoo to mate with the females. Ozala was Oumbi chosen mate.
His big brother Lope - was born on the morning of 3 January 2013.
