Thandie the little baby gorilla is cuddling into Dad's foot. A close-up shot shows her beautiful face. His daughter continues to play around him while he's having a bit of a snooze.
Back at dad's leg she cuddles into him and plays with the straw. When dad suddenly awakes, he moves her closer to his face. There Thandie touches her dad on his face. It's so wonderful to see the big Silverback keeping calm and letting his daughter play. Thandie is definitely a daddy's girl! Matadi gets himself a stick and Thandie grabs hold of it with her hands and feet. Matadi watches his daughter while having a nibble on the stick. A sweet moment when Matadi gently strokes her with his finger. Mum Mayani is sitting next to the two. The interaction between the two really gives you happy tears.:-) I was enjoying the moment so much when unfortunately mum decided to take Thandie away from dad, pulling her towards her and then she grabbed the stick as well. The Silverback moves and puts his legs up in the air. Some close-up shots and at the end some more and some more precious moments between Dad and daughter, before mum takes Thandie away again.
Hopefully you've enjoyed the series as much as I did making it. Antwerp Zoo was a pleasure to film, even though there was a lot of glare from windows that were everywhere, but that also meant a lot of angles to be able to view the gorillas.
There are a lot more videos from the Antwerp zoo. Have a look at this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXC1aShJSBiWoP6Dq9WJ9iSyKrLU2C89_

Orangutans Love Hopping Along Like Frogs
This will be the only other animal video I filmed while at the Munich Hellabrunn Zoo, the Orangutans. It's a shame I didn't have more time, as they were quite funny and with so many youngsters a joy to watch. A family tradition seems to be passed down as many Orangutans seem to do the same thing. It is hopping like a frog. Well, I can't really describe it any other way. They love pushing the wood wool around and while doing so hoping and falling back down on the wood wool. There is nothing wrong with the Orangutans. It seems to be just something they love doing.

Gorilla Eldest Causes Clash And Revolt Behaviour Towards Her
The eldest Gorilla Neema from the Münchner Tierpark Hellabrunn gets everyone wound up with her charging and causes a noisy clash in the group when they all have a go at her in return.
Gorilla Neema chases after the two blackbacks Okanda and Tano. When Okanda stands still, she keeps on chasing Tano. Okanda standing with the back to us watching Tano and Neema. A bit later enough is enough and they turn the table on her. Tano is the first one that has a go at Neema, slaps her with both hands and shows his teeth. Then Okanda comes running up and gives her a hard slap on her back. Tano runs away, Neema follows Tano and Okanda runs after Neema. Okanda jumps up on the rock, showing his teeth to Neema and starts slapping her. Neema isn't a pushover and fights back, slapping Okanda. That's when the youngest female Nafi comes charging and has a go at Neema as well. The youngest female in the group is quite smitten by Okanda and always wants to play with him and she even seems very protective of him. From the right, Tano comes charging now and wrestles Neema. Okanda comes charging again and slaps her with both hands. As quickly as it started, it stops and when Neema gets her lunch all seems forgotten. She's just happy enjoying her food lying on the rocks. As she is the oldest in the group and there isn't a silverback yet, she's most likely trying to see it as her role to keep the two blackbacks in check which backfired a bit today.
