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.
