Lope and Shufai having a play inside. When Oumbi the Silverback runs over to Asante. Both the brothers are watching Oumbi and don't realize gran coming from the right. Shufai managed to get out of the way just before gran makes her move, but totally bulldozes Lope. It still makes me laugh everytime I watch that bit. Lope getting up, all bewildered, thinking wtf just happened? It takes a few seconds until Lope gathers himself again and than just walks over to the plank to have a quick rest with his feet dangling down. He then continues his play with little Shufai.
Spectacled bear
Revisiting the Andean Bear youngster, also called spectacled bear. Back in 2017 he was already a pretty good climber, but look at him now. With his great balance even on thin branches. He has grown so quickly!
Born in January 2017 to mum Lima and dad Bernie. Chester Zoo has one of the largest Andean bear habitats in the world!
Spectacled bears are the only surviving species of bear native to South America
This is the baby elephant Anjan Hi Way from the Chester zoo in Cheshire England who is having playfight with its brother Aayu Hi Way.
Chester zoo in Cheshire England was in for a surprise when the mom Thi Hi Way gave birth. She was 3 month overdue and returned to her normal weight making everyone believe she lost the baby, but to everybody’s surprise she managed to deliver this cute bundle of joy on the 17th of May 2018 at 3 am, after a 25 month pregnancy. She gave birth to a baby boy called Anjan Hi Way. In this video you can see Anjan Hi Way approaching his bigger half brother Aayu Hi Way. He isn’t too pleased and straight away knocks him over with his trunk. Another little push and then the newborn runs back to its mom. Later the big brother is pursuing Anjan again, but the little one is having none of it and pushes back. Even though he is only a fraction of his brother’s weight he stands his ground and keeps shoving back. He is definitely not an easy push over and doesn’t give up easily, but still Aayu manages to knock him off his feet again. The feisty baby turns around and shoves back again. Just typical sibling rivalry play.
Chester Zoo has got seven Elephants, incluing four calves in the herd of the Hi Way family. They are: Thi (born 24.04.1981), Sithami (born 31.12.1997) , Sundara ( born 07.03.2004), Nandita ( born 20.08.2015), Aayu ( born 18.01.2017), Indali (born 17.12.2016) and the new arrival Anjan. They also have Anjans dad Aung Bo (born 17.07.2001) and female Maya the oldest born 1966.
This greater one-horned rhino calf is just cuteness overload! A new arrival for Chester Zoo. Running around like crazy and headbutting his mum. Also known as the greater one-horned rhinoceros and great Indian rhinoceros the baby was born at the Chester Zoo, Cheshire England at around 6pm on 3rd of May 2018. It is a male and they named him Akeno, meaning “beautiful sunrise”. Asha his 11 year old mum, had a 16 month pregnancy and only a 20-minute labour. The dad Beni is separated from these two, presumably for safety reasons. In the video, at first he is sharing a meal with his mother, a tree branch. After his breakfast he seemed full of energy, running around and having these little cute outbursts. He is quite a hand full, but mom Asha look as if she is taking it all in her stride. It’s is so cute, watching him run backwards and forwards to mom, having that little headbutt with her , just so he is close to her. When Akeno finds a little bit of grass, he shakes it about so that it flies through the air. When the bit of grass comes down again, he seems to jump in surprise.
The folded skin of these Rhinos look like armour plating and did you see those little ears? Aren’t they just the best, wiggling like that? The greater one horned rhino is listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Akeno is a big boost to the threatened species breeding programme. Did you know : a calf can drink 20-30 litres of milk per day and grows by 1-2 kg daily! They are excellent swimmers and can even dive!
This is beautiful Dartmoor in England with its far reaching landscape views. You’ve got the famous wild roaming Dartmoor Ponies one of the horse breeds, cows and sheep which all graze freely on the moors all year round. You’ll see the horses and cows and even a few new born foals laying in the grass near the Hay Tor rocks. The cows are grazing nearby, until they decided “the grass was greener on the other side” and got a bit too close to the beautiful black horses. All this space, but the cattle decided they wanted to be where the horses are. One of the cows was determined to try its luck and approached a horse, but the Stallion didn’t take it likely and started bolting towards the cow. I slowed this part down. You have never seen a cow move this quickly.
The Dartmoor Ponies are an iconic sight with a stunning backdrop of the moors. In 1950 it is said there were around thirty thousand ponies on the moor, unfortunately now they are only about 1500. There are three breeds of ponies on Dartmoor the Purebred Dartmoor Ponies, Dartmoor Heritage Ponies and the Shetland Ponies.
Hay tor rocks or just Hay Tor is a granite tor, a natural beauty spot and one of Dartmoor's most famous landmarks. Dartmoor is protected by National Park status and is about 370 square miles in size. A big part of this is owned by the Duke of Cornwall. Even though 57.3% is owed privately, in contrasts from other National Parks in England and Wales; it has been a nominated Access Land, which gives walkers the freedom to roam. It is necessary for all the horses, ponies’ cows and sheep to be registered with the Dartmoor Commoners’ Council. Cows have tags in their ears and the ponies and horses are branded.
This is the Orangutan youngster from the Paignton Zoo in Devon England. The zoo staff had a surprise for the Borneo orangutans; they put a giant fruit flavoured ice Popsicle in their habitat and also a nice big blanket to play with. The popsicle seem to have all kind of stuff in in like mixed fruit, veg and herbs. All the favourite foods they like. Orangutan Tatau was that happy, she went totally crazy over her surprise this morning.
She wrapped herself around the ice lolly with her blanket, as if to make it her own and nobody else could have it. She then started to spin like crazy like a whirlwind. Round and round and round. You wonder what she feels like. Do Orangutans get dizzy? Certainly watching it does. She just doesn’t give up spinning and having the time of her live.
Tatau was born on the 11th of April 2013 to mother Mali and father Demo. It says on a plaque that she use to be very timid, but now has tantrums when she doesn’t get her own way. She loves to play and show off, which very obvious from this video footage.
A sped up time-lapse of this beautiful and amazing winter drive through the snowy forest by the Lake Bohinj in Slovenia. Every tree covered in thick snow. An empty road covered in ice and snow.
As part of the Birmingham International Dance Festival these four pink men that look like sumo wrestlers invading the British Supermarket Tesco. It all started off at the Victoria Square and they are dancing/ wobbling bumping into the bewildered shoppers in the Birmingham City centre in England. They started at the Victoria square by the British museum and moved on from there towards and into the Birmingham supermarket. A huge crowd followed the vibrant, unusual performers up the escalator to the upper floor of the shop. Where they choose the big windows so everybody outside could still watch them perform. One of the pink man decided to take some toilet rolls of the shelfs and start throwing them to the other guy. They kept throwing the pack backwards and forwards. They were having fun playing catch. You can just hear a guy saying that the security hasn’t said anything yet. Another saying “ You can do anything when you’re dressed up like this” Apparently the supermarket did not know about this invasion. They just had this idea on the day. They bounced their way back to the escalator, but not in a normal way, they actually went down on the railing of the escalator all the way down. Walking out of the supermarket they got clapped by the entire crowd that watched them from below. Tesco has been a great supermarket that obviously enjoyed this strange and unexpected entertainment as no one of the security guys stopped them in their tracks. All a bit of fun for the crowd of the Birmingham city centre.
They are French performers part of an art group called La Grande Phrase with choreography Cie Didier Theron and are travelling to different cities to show their performance. Every act is different and they always wearing different inflatable suits.
Yep Lope again and he is still busy with the ice. This time Lope took as many pieces as he could carry, ran up to the hut and threw one piece into the hut. After he played with the ice for a bit it all becomes clear why he threw it. They were a little bit too big for him, so he decided to give them the Lope treatment. He throws them against the wall and the roof of the hut to break them up and scrape the little pieces off the wall to eat.
