Gorilla Asante Witty Move Getting Her Own Back On Lope

Gorilla Asante from the Twycross Zoo really made me laugh, what an unexpected move from her in this video on the evening of Oumbi's Birthday, even Lope seemed surprised. Gorilla Lope is doing his usual, annoying a family member. Today it's Aunt Asante turn to annoy. Asante you might know is quite timid and likes to be on her own most of the time. Asante is enjoying her lettuces at the bottom of the slope when Lope suddenly charges at her. She puts her arms out to keep him away. No, no that wasn't the great move, that's still to come! At the top when Asante is by the hut. Lope still charges past her and then slides down the hill. A typical Lope move only the rascal himself can pull off. Like he's skateboarding down that slope😁. He tries to intimidate her by staring at her and when she she sits on top of the climbing frame, he sneaks up to her and stares at her again. You think Lope is going to charge in any minute, but then he climbs back down again. Inside Lope beats his chest at her. A close-up of Asante sucking her thumb When she turns around, Lope beats its chest at her again and then throws some wood wool at her. Asante hits him and moves to the other side. No, no that wasn't the great move either :-). Watch out for the next clip back outside. When Lope follows Asante and then walks past her to the window ( 30 on the window was for Oumbi's birthday party earlier that day) Lope looks through the window, but keep your eye on Asante, just after Shufai runs past with a tree branch in his hand. I had to loop this bit as I couldn't quite believe Asante was brave enough to do this to our rascal. I thought no, did that just happen? Then I couldn't stop laughing, watching it again. Lope just looked at her, probably thinking the same "Did that just happened" #SloggerVlogger #GorillaAsante GorillaLope
