Earlier this week you so Gorilla Lope not being sure about the ball in the enclosure. That gave Asante the chance to have her share of honey and she truly loved it. She's licking it off the ball and uses her fingers to get the rest. I love it when she wipes the honey off gently with her finger and then licks it off her fingers. Such a gentle soul.
Thank you for your poll on my community page! Who guessed correctly that it was Asante? 😁
NEWS:
From next week Thursday (9th May 2019) I will publish an extra gorilla video a week from different zoos from the Netherlands until I run out. I had some more videos that I'll hope you like from the the Dutch zoos, but I didn't want to publish them on the usual gorilla days, as some of you would miss Lope & Family.
So Mondays & Fridays it’s still the usual gorilla videos! Thursday will be an extra Dutch gorilla video day until I run out ( probably around 4 Thursdays, I'll have to see how much footage I've got).
Enjoy and thank you for all your comments, subscriptions and views!!!
