Intense Situation As Sons Force Calm Silverback To Charge

Silverback Gorilla Oumbi from the Twycross zoo was actually in quite a relaxed mood all day. As you saw from the last video, even the brother hard play didn't bother him at all. Maybe that's what made his sons want to bait him even more in this video. Oumbi is sitting outside in the sun. Lope is giving dad some stares. Taking his charging stance and then walks past him all huffy and puffy. Oumbi just wants to relax in the sun and he's not reacting. Lope disappears for a few seconds before he takes his stance again in front of his dad and then walks back inside. Lope comes out once more and does the same thing. Oumbi is biting his lip, staring back at his son. Lope moves to the other side of him. Oumbi doesn't move a muscle until Lope goes back inside. You'll see Oumbi start moving when Lope went inside. It was all quite tense. A close up of Oumbi's head and then you'll see Shufai his younger son poking his head out from the back of the hut. He goes inside and Oumbi moves some wood wool. Concentrating on Oumbi, all of sudden Lope comes charging back out and starts his staring game again. When Shufai comes out, Lope charges toward the hut and hits it. Shufai moved behind the hut. Lope goes back towards his dad in his aggravating stance. I'm surprised the Silverback is still this calm. Now it really is getting intense as Shufai starts with the same pose towards his dad. I thought Shufai is standing between his dad and his brother to maybe calm things down. Shufai moves towards the door, Lope walks closer to his dad. Frustrated Shufai pulls the door flap. Lope moves again and now it seems like Shufai stands with his brother as both now face their dad. Oumbi is still surprisingly patient. Shufai sniffs his brother's bum and then both go back inside. Only then does Oumbi moves again. It's not long and the brothers are back out again. Shufai does like sniffing bums lol. Lope isn't happy and charges past his dad. Shufai pushes the door flap and then it's a bit like "what do I do now" He looks at dad and rips up some grass. Then, well I'm not sure. He does some stretches, then Shufai shuffles until Lope comes back. Oumbi still doesn't seem to be interested in what his boys do, but when the boys get closer he finally had enough, gets up and charges past them. It's more of a charge saying "can't a silverback have some peace and quiet". The boys don't give up and follow him. Shufai is close on his big brother's heels. Lope takes his stance again and Oumbi just looks at his eldest. Ozala the boys' mother grazes in front of her boys. Lope and Shufai move away a bit from their dad. When Lope charges again, Oumbi starts charging away from the boy toward the direction of the camera. His hairs were all standing up. 200kg of power. You can see that Oumbi was in a pretty good mood. We know what he's capable of, seeing him pouncing on his son or the time when he threw Ozala across the floor. This time he just wanted to let the boys know that he's fed up with their antics and just wants to be left in peace. Oumbi sits down, but gets back up again and walks towards the others. Lope has a quick look around and walks upright inside. Shufai waits for his mum, Ozala gives Oumbi a couple of glances before they go inside.

Baby Bonobo Upendi - Yep It Looks Like It's A Boy

Bonobo mum Cheka checks over her son inch by inch. Yes, definitely a boy looking at the next shot. 😁

His little hand in mum's hand. His little feet get a check as well. When it comes to the face and ears, he tries to wiggle free, but Mum has to do her job. Some well-earned milk for the little one afterwards. #baby #babyBonobo #BabyAnimal 

Gorilla Silverback Is Calm And Relaxed While Sons Play

The GoBros are playing hard. Chasing past their dad. Shufai the younger one of the brothers gives Lope a little touch, but his brother is not reacting. So Shufai goes and plays with the hose. Lope now starts to charge. Shufai runs towards him and they both beat their chest at each other. They start wrestling when Oumbi photobombs me filming. Asante sitting in the back on the platform. Oumbi sits down and has a snack. He's in a pretty relaxed mood. The brothers chase each other, and Shufai picks some food pellets up in between. I apologize for the glare, it's quite bad in there. Aunt Asante tries to stay out of the way. Oumbi is now in the far left corner, while the Ozala their mother and grandma Biddy are in the right corner. The boys are face to face. Shufai made himself bigger by standing on the log and bending over his brother biting him in the neck. When Lope pulls back, Shufai falls to the ground and they wrestle and bite each other some more. They only stop when their dad moves, but he's not interested. Not even when his young son is spinning in front of him. The brothers carry on. Shufai doesn't give up, even when his brother gives him a hard push so he falls backwards. He just gets back up again and chases Lope again. A few seconds to breathe and Oumbi is back by the left wall. The GoBros wrestle again. Oumbi has a lie-down, feet up the wall. One of his favourite positions. A close up of his foot and crossing his legs. Lope is pretty out of breath, but not too tired to grab the rope and hit his brother with it.

Hairless Chimp Jambo In The Fresh Air

Jambo the fascinating hairless chimp from Twycross zoo has a little skip to start with. Running around, past Kibali (the wannabe rival for the Alpha male position), then Holly. When he's sitting on the ribbon, Kibali comes and has another look. Jambo moves to the hammock behind the yellow flowers. He found a little snack and then he's on the move again to go inside.

Gorilla Mother Ozala And Son Lope At Loggerheads

Silverback Oumbi is walking upright inside when Lope comes running and climbs up to the climbing frame to get some food scattered there. The trouble is, his mum Ozala is already there and you know nobody gets in her way when there is food about. She has a go at her son and then jumps after him. Grandma Biddy is in the far back in one of her favourite spots (depending on where the sun is shining). Ozala continues chasing her son. Lope tries to get some food again on the climbing frame, but Ozala stands her ground. Biddy watching from afar. Lope is not one for giving up so keeps trying again and again. Trying to intimidate his mother. When he stands there in front of her, you can see how much he's grown. He will be a fine Silverback one day, I'm sure of it. Ozala ignores him, but you can see she's still on guard and she always has one eye on her son. Lope waits for his moment and then runs past her while beating his chest. She tries to grab him, but he gets away. Lope is still running around, passing his younger brother Shufai, then he hits the climbing frame. That's when Ozala is chasing him again. Shufai comes into the mix......, but more on Monday for the second part.

The Gorilla GoBros Sack Run

Gorilla Shufai is chasing his big brother Lope. When they come outside the second time, Lope has stolen the hessian sack of his brother. Shufai really loves this sack and has been playing with it for days. Lope teases him, that he's got it now by waving it in front of him. Lope runs away, puts the hessian sack on his head and starts running with Shufai in close pursuit. I'm surprised Lope can still see where he's running. He manages to find the door hatch and both run inside. When they reemerge Lope still has the sack that Shufai tries to get back. Then Shufai gives up and just goes back inside. I'm sure there was another sack there somewhere, but you know what it's like you with brothers one always wants what the other one has. Lope climbs down from the climbing frame and goes inside as well. About 5 minutes later he sits outside again with the sack. Then goes back in and back out of the other side. He keeps looking at the door, obviously waiting for his younger brother to come out, but he doesn't come so Lope walks back inside. #SloggerVlogger #GorillaShufai #GorillaLope
