Silverback Gorilla Won't Go Anywhere Without His Blanket

You've seen this is the Western lowland gorilla N’Dowe (pronounced Endovay) from the Paignton Zoo in England earlier today trying to get to the leaves on the other side of the enclosure. When he isn't eating, he loves to move around his freshly cut habitat with his blanket and won't let go.  He's the Silverback of the bachelor group at this zoo.

Silverback Gorilla Gets A Real Taste For Leaves On The "Greener" Side

First of two video today ( next video scheduled 15 minutes afterwards). This is the Western lowland gorilla N’Dowe (pronounced Endovay) from the Paignton Zoo in England. He's the Silverback of the bachelor group. He's sitting there with his lunch, some tree branches he got from the keepers, but he discarded those and keeps looking up. Something much more interesting grows on the other side. He gets up and has a little jump to get hold of the tree branch from the other habitat. He really stretches to get to those leaves. When he's got a bunch, he sits back down again and just look at that face! His eyes say it all. It's something special. While eating he already looks up again, contemplating if he get get some more and that's what he does, gets himself another portion.

Lope And The Big Tree Branch

Gorilla Lope got hold of a big tree branch and he's not sharing it with anybody. He's dragging it to the shade where he sits down and pulls off a big chunk of bark. When Asante comes close, he quickly moves just to be sure that she won't steal it. Not that I've seen Asante steal anything, it's more the other way round. :-) He didn't like the spot where he moved to , so he went back to the first place. Only for Ozala to come out and suddenly charging at Lope to get to the food. Asante decides it's best to just get out of the way and sprints in the other direction. Ozala manages to get hold of the branch, but by the time I reposition myself Lope got back his branch and enjoying some more of the bark. The funniest bit is, when Asante comes close again, Lope moves , walking upright with the branch in his arms which looks like he's just about to do some real damage, but luckily he moves past Asante without any incident and sits back down again in the shade.

Gorillas Brothers Chasing Each Other Past Gorilla Asante

Gorilla brothers are chasing each other again pass Asante who sits in the doorway. Asante tries a few times to slow them down, but the brothers don't take any notice. Only when their dad Oumbi comes over they stop. Asante, as always, moves away when the Silverback comes close. In true Lope fashion he just comes out, makes himself comfortable on the pole, just as if he wants to say " What dad? Where doing nothing" All calm here. "

Bonobos Clash Over Ice During The Heatwave

The bonobos got some ice as the weather is heating and they are loving it. Especially the young one as he can't get enough. The ice has some juice and almond shavings in it. They love it that much so that later a clash breaks out. The male of the group isn't very happy that all the females get first choice. Unlike chimpanzees, it's the females that dominate in a bonobo group. The male starts to swing the hose vigorously and even starts to kick the another bonobo.
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. The sanctuary released 13 more bonobos to the wild from what I heard last.
