There Is More Than One Way Of Approaching The Door For Gorilla Lope

Lope the Western Lowland Gorilla from the Twycross Zoo shows you there is more than one way of approaching the door to the inside in his own funny way. 

I love this new way he's got, where he claps his hands before he rolls. This is just typical Lope always manages to make us smile. And yes, he still walks upright! :-)

This is a compilation of new and older unseen clips.

Jock The Sunbathing Gorilla

Last week I had my last dutch gorilla video and that was it for the extra Thursday gorilla video, but I've got a couple of Bristol Zoo Gorilla and Paignton Zoo Gorillas videos that I will show on Thursdays instead, until I ran out. As always the Twycross gorilla stay the same on Mondays and Fridays!

This is Jock, he's the silverback at the Bristol Zoo in England. Today with the sun shining he's having a relaxing time sunbathing. Yawning showing us his big teeth.

More next Thursday!

Gorilla Baby Shufai Pestering His Brother Lope

Shufai the Western Lowland Gorilla from the Twycross Zoo is getting his own back by pestering his brother Lope. Chasing after him and wanting to play. Lope has this new habit that just before he rolls he claps his hands. You'll will see this in my future videos. He does it quite quickly. Shufai continues the chase, a brief pause and then Lope chases after Shufai. Shufai does a quick belly flop, but he needs to get a bit better at it if he wants to match his brothers. Grandma Biddy is having a quick look over what the kids are up to. Oumbi the silverback is not interested.

Gorilla Baby Damsi Close Up

The gorilla baby Damsi from the Artis zoo in the Netherlands is on mums back and reaches for the rope and tries to bite it. He's got such a cute face.

This was the last gorilla videos from the Netherlands on Thursday, but don't worry there are still more Thursday gorilla videos! The next one is from Bristol Zoo.

Twycross Zoo Gorillas are still on the same date Monday & Fridays!

Who's Quicker Lope The Gorilla Or His Baby Brother

It's lunch time and the gorillas come out to eat. I thought how nice that Lope the Western Lowland Gorilla lets his baby brother Shufai just eat in peace without charging at him. I should of known it wouldn't stay like that. :-) . When Shufai decided to go onto the hut, Lope started chasing after Shufai. Shufai was just too quick and nimble for Lope. So funny when Lope tries to jump up to get to his brother.

Orangutan Is Having A Duvet Day

Don't we just love a lie in and just put our heads under the duvet. Mali the Borneo Orangutan from Paignton Zoo doesn't feel any different. If just that noise from the neighbour habit of the gorillas weren't there. They are getting their grass cut. She starts to move to different place towards her daughter, taking all her blankets with her.

Lope The Gorilla And The Paper Roll

Lope the Western Lowland Gorilla from the Twycross Zoo in England is playing with the Paper Rolls, when all over sudden he decides to run after Shufai . When he finished and I get the chance of seeing part of him, he is lying on the floor playing with the roll again.  As  I can see only half of him with his legs crossed I zoom in on his feet playing with the branch. When he gets up, he looks a bit bored or just contemplating his next move, when all of a sudden he throws the roll away and runs outside . There he found another roll, that he tries to squeeze between his legs and tries to walks with it. He then sits down, bites and plays with the tube.

Gorilla Baby Shufai Has Some Fun By The Slope

Gorilla Baby Shufai from the Twycross Zoo is having some fun at the grassy slope. He keeps throwing himself down the slope and just enjoys being silly like a kid.

Bonobo

The endangered bonobo also formerly known as the pygmy chimpanzee, are sometimes called gracile or a dwarf chimpanzee. They are our closest living relatives, sharing around 98% of our DNA.Many people think they are Chimpanzees, but although they are very similar and both are closely related to humans, the bonobo is a lot slender in appearance. With the Chimpanzees the males are the dominant, but the bonobo the females. Unfortunately like a lot of other animals they are threatened by habitat loss and human population growth. Twycross zoo is helping the bonobos getting back to the wild by supporting the Conservation Welfare fund with the daily running of the sanctuary Lola ya Bonobo. In June this year the sanctuary is planning to release 13 more bonobos to the wild.

Gorilla Brother Shufai Disturbs Lope On The Upper Platform

Gorilla Shufai decided to annoy Lope a little. I guess Shufai got some catching up to do - getting his own back on his big brother. Grabbing and trying to pull him of that platform.
It was a beautiful day today, but unfortunately the gorilla family decided they rather want to spent some time inside than outside in the sun. They've got some new netting inside, which Shufai loved falling into, but unfortunately I couldn't film as it is too far up.

Than the two brothers continue to play. Lope still sucking his thumb and look where he got it from , Asante is doing the same.
