Lowland gorilla baby Vuko (January 8th 2020) is wrestling her older brother Louango (May 25th 2018) to the ground at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park. They still have their white bum spot. There is no definite answer why the little ones have this. Some say it's so mum can spot them easily when they are that young.
Louango (this is Tamba's son, Tamba is Ambam's sister and Ambam is the brother of Oumbi) is putting his arm around his half-sister, but she's having none of it and pushes him flat into the grass. Not just that, she then sits on him to hold him down. Mind you, Louango is not putting up much of a fight, but what a move from the two-year-old. She knows what she wants, she's a feisty one. He grabs her shoulder and tries to get away, but his sister is not giving up that easily, she sits on his back instead. Piggybacking on her brother. She only moves when her brother slings both arms onto the back trying to get her off. She runs away, climbs on the log. Louango tries to grab her, but she leaps off the log into the grass. The western lowland gorilla boy reaches over the log to grab some of the plant. Meanwhile Vuko is running through the grass after her mum Viringika. Look at those little legs go. Climbing over the logs and then catching up with mum grabbing her back. At the feeding site, Louango caught up with her again and tries to steal some food from her, jumping after her, but she gets away, bumping into her mother and in the end, she has some food in both hands.
