Famous Upright Walking Female Gorilla Tamba

During this video famous female Gorilla Tamba from the Port Lympne Wild animal park in Kent is walking upright (bipetal) a few times. She's the aunt of Gorilla Lope and Shufai and just like her famous brother Ambam. A real family trade. They don't just do it for a few seconds, they actually feel very comfortable walking in the upright position. 
If you watched this channel before, you know Gorilla Lope does it on a regular basis and his younger brother Shufai also walks upright. 
Tamba is waiting for some food at the feeding site. Here, the food gets thrown down from the roof. I'm not sure who the female was that was with her. A big branch of leaves gets thrown down which Tamba grabs and she straight away goes to the upright position with her branch of leaves in her hand. In her famous video, she did this with her newborn son Louango in her arms, who is now 4 years old. More from Louango next week. She walks to the rocks, climbs up and enjoys her lunch. She climbs back down and has the rest sitting on the grass. Just look at her, how she is standing there, it's just amazing. Tamba gathers some more food and even has a clap at the end. I didn't get Ambam walking upright, but Tamba made my day. The queen of upright walks.
