Lope is having one of his days where he has to annoy everybody. These are little clips from the day. He's chasing his little brother Shufai around the inside enclosure and mum is really on his radar today. He keeps pinching her, grabbing her or maybe he's trying to grab Shufai who is in mums arms. She just can't get a minutes peace. You can see her running after him when she finally had enough, but Lope is too quick and runs outside. Later outside when Ozala and Shufai are sitting in the winter sun, Lope can't stop clowning around, that's when mum grabs him as to say enough is enough and Lope just walks off in his strut.
Then Dad Oumbi comes into the picture, following Lope and you would expect him to bounce in any minute, but I'll guess his body language says it all and Lope is not sticking around.
The best bit is at the end, something I haven't seen before and it really made my day. Little Shufai is running up to Lope and climbs on his back. Almost like, hey I've got you big bro and they run off together.
