Gorilla Mum Lending A Helping Hand When Lope Has Got An Itch

Gorilla Mum Lending A Helping Hand When Lope Has Got An Itch

We all know what it's like to have an itch and you just can't reach it. Well Lope the gorilla youngster from the Twycross zoo has got the same problem. He's slapping himself and trying everything to reach the itchy spot. His foot moving to give him a bit more momentum. Oumbi lying next to him and his hand flipping onto Lope and trying to grab him. It all gets interrupted by Shufai suddenly pouncing on his big brother and quickly running away again. Later mum Ozala gives Lope that helping hand to investigate that itch. Lopes face says it all. Common Ozala give it good scratch!
I suddenly started itching. :-)
