Lope Continues To Annoy His Dad The Silverback Gorilla

  • Gorilla Lope and Siverback Oumbi's playful interaction at the wall involves stealing wood wool, leading to a comical showdown as they exchange cheeky glances through the gaps.
    Oumbi the silverback gorilla and his son Lope. You can watch the first part here: • Silverback Gorilla Try...
    Oumbi starts by banging against the wall, while Lope is having a few seconds' rest. When Lope gets up he goes to the wall, sticks his hand through the gap under the wall and steals some of the wood wool (wood shavings). Again, Again and again. It does look like later Lopes's plan is to actually pinch Oumbi. When Lope and Oumbi stare at each other through the little gaps in the wall it's just hilarious.
    Lots of comments on how sad Oumbi is. Did you know that gorillas don't have the same facial muscles as us humans? They can't smile! When a gorilla relaxes, their muscles face droop which makes them look grumpy. This happens in the wild too. This is just one video. Maybe when you see the whole family dynamics, you'll know he's relaxing in one of his favourite spots, but his son ( who is very mischievous anyway) just wants to play. You can't always judge from one video. Of course, I would love to see them in the wild rather than in the zoo, but the world we live in just doesn't make that possible. Let them free you say. Where to? They were born in a Zoo, not in the wild. Only Biddy the oldest gorilla family member was born in the wild, but those were different times. European zoos don't get animals from the wild anymore. They feel safe at Twycross. They have the whole family with them. Dad, mum, grandma, aunt and two boys.

    I can see Oumbi smiling at Lope's antics. Love the way the two look at each other through the opening between the boards.
    Lope likes to play rough and tumble. I have a feeling Oumbi knows that with his strength and weight he could easily hurt Lope during play.
    I remember that day Oumbi broke up a fight between the ladies, and how easily he tossed Osala about 3-4 feet through the air with one hand. Amazing!

    To those troubled about these wonderful creatures being in captivity: it troubles me too, but remember that back in "the wild" there are poachers that kill them for "bush meat" and trophies. Dian Fossey's book Gorillas in the Mist gives a picture of the danger. The choices for those wanting to preseve the species are very complicated. We can't control the politics and culture and poverty of the countries that control the "wild" places where they should be. Preserves have been established, so some humans are working to create wild places safe from humans, but there is no guarantee for their ultmate survival there if, for instance, war breaks out in the region. Is it right to keep some gorillas in captivity as a safeguard against their possible extinction in the wild? It is indeed a tragic situation with no easy answers. And this video is priceless! No DNA test needed to show how much like us the gorillas are.

He is clearly distraught and depressed. It's so sad. The enclosure, however isn't the problem. He should be in his natural setting, but man has destroyed most of them unfortunately.

Everyone on the planet couldn’t all realistically agree to save our big lovable pets, so we’ll have to get used to telling our future generations that we killed off and took too much room for them to live with us. We’ just have to get used to vermin, pampered pets, and factory livestock as the only living animals in the future. That or irradiated, pollution living things or pictures of the big ones.

    Lots of comments on how sad Oumbi is. Did you know that gorillas don't have the same facial muscles as us humans? They can't smile! When a gorilla relaxes, their muscles face droop which makes them look grumpy. This happens in the wild too. This is just one video. Maybe when you see the whole family dynamics, you'll know he's relaxing in one of his favourite spots, but his son ( who is very mischievous anyway) just wants to play. You can't always judge from one video. Of course, I would love to see them in the wild rather than in the zoo, but the world we live in just doesn't make that possible. Let them free you say. Where to? They were born in a Zoo not in the wild. Only Biddy the oldest gorilla family member was born in the wild, but those were different times. European zoos don't get animals from the wild anymore. They feel safe at Twycross. They got the whole family with them. Dad, mum, grandma, aunt and two boys.

      These people are have mental issues. Thats the honest truth. You cant reason with them, the gorillas are fine and well looked after, but these idiots have to virtue signal 24/7.
      The irony is, most of these idiots buy cheap meat where the animals are treated a millon times worse, but when money is involved all of these people forget about "safety" of animals

    November 24, 2020. I think it was this year during the beginning of COVID-19 here in the USA that I found your channel, SV.
    The first videos I saw were of little Lope trying so hard to get to see and touch his newborn brother Shuffai, but Ozala wouldn't let him.
    Then there were the outdoor videos of Lope trying to play with Shuffai when his little brother would venture away from his mother's side.
    Then there was the success-at-last moment when they were allowed to play together.
    And always, Lope tapping his Dad to encourage play, but not succeeding.
    "Tapping" is the gorilla way to invite play. It's not being a "nuisance",
    Many serene moments of Lope cuddling with or playing with grandma Biddy.
    Watching the kids grow up.
    I have watched this particular video so many times, I can't even guess how many.
    I'm so thankful for you and your uploads, SV. God bless you and keep you safe.

    • @shvlhed1975
      @shvlhed1975 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Anna K you are correct. There is more that could be done. But how much space is enough. Space cost alot of money. People also go to zoos to see animals they would never have a chance to see in the wild. If you make it so these animals can completely hide like they would in the wild nobody will be paying to get in. Then there will be no funding for these animals and the breeding programs that keep them from going extinct. In a perfect world zoos wouldn't be neccessary. Maybe if the people in the country they come from cared enough and had more strict poaching laws this wouldn't be a problem. There are two species of rhino that are completely extinct in the wild but thanks to the zoos they are breeding in captivity.

    • @SloggerVlogger
      @SloggerVlogger  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      So if you sit on the same spot everyday you're depressed? So you have to sit somewhere different all the time and don't have a favourite spot? 🤨Anyway, I've got over 100 videos of the family, and these are the only two videos where they are both in that spot. Lope is playing with his dad, who just wanted a little rest outside. A typical father and son relationship. Dad wants some peace in the spot he chose, but Lope being Lope has fun annoying his Dad.

    • @SloggerVlogger
      @SloggerVlogger  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The zoo actually reported it and the keepers were sacked and arrested! It's funny, that bad things get dragged up like this, but all the good the zoo does helping many sanctuaries abroad don't get a mention. Twycross Zoo: We unfortunately live in a world where many species of both plants and animals are on the brink of extinction.
      Twycross Zoo Conservation initiative contributes to conservation in the wild since 2006 and has supported over 55 conservation and welfare projects from many different countries around the world, including Ape Action Africa in Cameroon, Lola Ya Bonobo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Cao Vit Conservation Programme in Vietnam.
