In this video, watch as the highly energetic gorilla Mosi persistently challenges the silverback gorilla Lomako. Despite Lomako’s efforts to control himself and avoid conflict-aware that his baby son is in the room-the situation eventually escalates.
Female gorilla Nala plays a crucial role throughout, actively intervening to prevent the situation from worsening. In a dramatic turn, Nala steps in to protect Mosi and confronts the dominant Lomako.
• Dalila, ♀, wildborn, 52 years old
• Lomako, ♂, 19 years old
• Loango, ♂, 19 years old
• Mosi, ♂, 14 years old
• Zola, ♀, 10 years old
• Nala, ♀, 9 years old
• Makongo, ♂, 5 months old (offspring of Lomako)
Baby Makongo has the biggest, brightest eyes. So adorable.
Nala was always at mom and Makango’s side when Tamidol was alive. ❤
I think the baby just discovered his ear 😄I'm so grateful Dalia takes care of the baby so well! More human Aunties should be this loving and protective and kind. I love this little troop so much! Thank you for the videos.
NALA has such a **SWEET disposition** 🤗 I LOVE HER a LOT and I’m Happy she’s a Big Sister to MAKONGO 💖💖🌺🥰🦋💕
Can Makongo get any cuter!!!!! Love this troop.
5:18 😆 I didn't realize Makongo had such big bright eyes like 👀. He's so adorable 🥰. Mosi was persistent, and wanted to play with his dad. Lomako was really patient with him, until he wasn't anymore, and scolded him. Precious Nala tried to referee the situation, but then she was like 😲.
😂😂 It got **Scary** there for a minute.
0:29 😂😂😂😂 @ MAKONGO **Stealthily** creeping up on the Mangabey’s tail 🐒 What a PRECIOUS and CURIOUS baby he is!! 💕🥰🦋🌺💜😘🤗
Dahlia says no touch baby, he’s sleeping 😴. He is so precious! 🥰❤❤ They are scaring the baby! 😮
Bravo Dahlia, you are the queen Mom. Without you this troop would be in a mess of sadness. So happy for the baby that he has a good stepmom.Dolly is not a young cheeky baby anymore good for her for taking on a big job.❤
It does get a little frightening in there. They need room to get away from each other sometimes! They are doing the best with what they have ( the gorillas)❤️
Little makongo needs to learn to wrap his legs around mama ❤😂
I'm glad the baby loves his new mama.❤
**My Heart ❤️ SMILES** to Watch MAKONGO so Comfortably and SWEETLY snuggling the soft Belly of Queen Dalila 👑 as he naps 😴 or observes 👀 his surroundings and other members of the family 🤗 He definitely DESERVES to feel Safe and Secure ESPECIALLY after having lost his BeLoved Mum, the Incomparable TAMIDOL 🌹 🌺 🌸 💐💖💖
Nala is very protective of her brother and I think she misunderstood the game between them. I don't think Lomako wanted to hurt Mosi, they were just playing a little rough.❤❤❤❤great video thank you so much.❤
There is one blatantly obvious problem here...the gorillas are large, very intelligent and active animals in a very confined space. It looks to me like the younger male was trying to get the silverback to play with him, not being aggressive, and when the silverback reacted, there wasn't enough space for the younger gorilla to get away from him without running right into another gorilla. I can't even imagine how stressful those close confines must be for them at times. Imagine yourself stuck in a room with 2 fully grown adults, 2 teenagers and a baby with a non-stop parade of noisy people walking past, staring at you, smacking the glass, etc. There is no 'personal space' at all for them. I think that it's more incredible to see how amazingly well these gorillas get along than to see an occasional outburst of frustration they might have.
Agree 😕
YES. I watch the D’Jeeco group in Taipei most of the time. I never feel stressed. It’s a young family (5) and their habitat is tranquil. They also have a local small deer like creature that they treat like a pet. The two year old male gorillas (2) tumble and play everyday. The two females sometimes argue. Check it out if you haven’t discovered this family. It’s ideal for being in captivity. ❤D’Jeeco, Tayari, Iriki, Jabali and the baby Ringo. I watch all gorilla videos around the world but Taiwan got it right this time.
Their indoor space is indeed limited, and they sometimes go outside to play. While everything was happening indoors, Zola and Loango were outside and didn’t participate. Lomako stayed indoors to keep a close watch on his baby son, which is why he didn’t go outside. However, Mosi was very excited that day and kept chasing Lomako.
@@AllThingsGorilla While gorillas are very familial and clearly are devoted to each other in their groups, it's just as evident that each of them demands their own space and equally respects the space of each other. In this, the zoo fails them. They need more space.
Loved the video and so glad Makongo has Dahlia to cling to. Bless her little old heart, I can see just how slow she walks up steps. She’s a jewel to take care of little Makongo. 🥰 Thank you so much for adding text/ descriptions of who is who and what they are doing, it really helps us new viewers get to know everyone better. I just have to learn to read faster before they disappear. LOL 😂😂 Thanks again for your video and time you put into the videos. 😊💕🙏🏼
It's impressive how agile and quick Lomako is jumping from log (not sure what else to call it) to the other, considering his weight and size. He was very restrained under the circumstances. He didn't technically suppress Mosi, but that hand on the back of Mosi's head felt like a "calm down, pack it in" type of conversation between the two. Dalila was smart enough to get herself and Makongo to safety, it appeared she went into a back room. Are they the sleeping quarters? Also it was nice to see the staff were paying attention to the family's behavior as that door opened and closed pretty sharply. Thank you again for sharing this video. 💖💖🦍
@@neptunes3279 GREAT comment 👍🏽 I too was both STUNNED and IMPRESSED at the **Agility** of LOMAKO hopping from one perch to the other 🤭 It just goes to show that a Magnificent Silverback is NOT to be underestimated or misjudged. When it comes to the Safety of their family, or one NEEDING correction, they Are ALways ON. THE. JOB. As well they SHOULD be 😊
Lomako kept avoiding Mosi's mischief, but in the end, he used his strength to successfully subdue Mosi. The zookeeper was also keeping an eye on them, and when they saw Dalila wanted to leave, they immediately opened the door. Dalila walked into the room across the way, where it was safer and quieter for the baby.👸🦍👍♥️
@@AllThingsGorilla I felt somewhat sorry for Lomako, I think he's trying really hard to show Dalila that he's calm and can safely be around her and Makongo and Mosi spoilt that to a degree. I thought it was interesting that after Mosi had calmed down. Dad just sat quietly watching the door they went through. Dalila is smart, she'll let him get close to Makongo, but Makongo just needs to be a bit bigger.
@@renewashington791 Thank you for your kind words. Lomako is a young silverback, but I think he has the temperament and characteristics to be a great leader and protector. This poor family has gone through so much upheaval emotionally and Lomako has really done a good job at trying to keep everyone feeling safe and secure. 💐
Dahlia is one big mama, she’s soo beautiful
Big Daddy is in no mood for playing
It’s still sad. They are surly still missing the loss of their mother and the silverback his wife.
@@karenthompson8151 They do miss her. They had me holding my breath for a minute. Whew 😥
He still gotta keep the others in line since his mate passed.
They have the longest limbs ive ever seen on a gorilla! Its actually so crazy if you compare this troop side by side to any of the other troops on youtube....the ratios are so different. Lomako troop would be the fastest gorilllas in the wild, with huge tree swinging capabilities lol
OMG___ Amazing baby monkey and lovely so big family monkey.
Flails: “I’m too old for this”
Nala wasn't playing. She nibbled Lomako's arm, and gave him the business, 😂. Nala has been wanting to get closer to Makongo since he was born. Dalila didn't have a problem with Nala touching him, like in the beginning of the video, just when he was sleeping. Within a few short months, I think Dalila will let her hold baby. ❤
😂😂😂 While Nala was sniffing the sleeping Makongo, Dalila already had her fist 👊 raised. If Nala took another step closer, Dalila would not hesitate to act.🤣🤣👸🦍👍♥️
I wonder what will mentally happen to the blackbacks who were all castrated? I still will never understand or accept why. We are trying to save the species. All the zoo's should work together and figure this situation out instead of caring more about money. Mosi and Nala remind me of Annie and Kiamosa growing up. Mosi has such long arms ,he would have been a magnificent silverback for sure😢 So, are they now hoping that Nala and Lomako mate?
It’s unclear for now whether Nala will mate with Lomako🤷♀️. Let’s wait and see🥰♥️🦍.
Really cool to see the nimble Lomako playing with Mosi. But what on earth upset Nala? She was so pissed!
Because the baby was in the same room, she separated Lomako and Mosi several times for that reason. In the end, she got angry because she saw that after Lomako had controlled Mosi, he still wanted to bite him, which made her furious.
The Magnificent 🥰 LOMAKO 🦍 is practicing GREAT RESTRAINT in spite of Mosi’s persisting to “annoy” him 😂 Especially considering that he’s Not even Lomako’s son, but instead is the progeny of MAKULA, a former Silverback in the troop who Deceased a while ago 🤷🏽♀️
I Love It They Standing Up Against The Silver Back Much Love....
Little Makonga trying to get milk from mom😢
This is why I hate zoos,no room and mixing elderly Gorillas with young one's is a recipe for disaster,they can't get out of the way quick enough,lucky she and the baby weren't hurt.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Makongo is a gorgeous baby. I do understand why they casterate the males. Over breeding & lack of female's. Sad😢
Does dad and sister understand why the baby is with a new mom I wonder ? She's so good with the baby just like it was her baby...❤❤❤
I think they do understand that Dalila is the most experienced with being a mother. I wonder if she was higher in status to Tamidol before Makongo was born.
@@LynnAnn1960 After Tamidol passed away, the troop members were allowed to stay near her body for a while, helping them understand what had happened. So yes, the members understand why the baby now has a new mother 👩.
@@shawna6683 Dalila has always been the highest-ranking female in the troop, even when Tamidol was still around before Makongo was born.
@AllThingsGorilla , that's good to know thank you..💖🙂
Is MOSI’s name Pronounced MO SEE or MO SI as in **Sigh** 🤷🏽♀️ It’s driving me bonkers 🤪 that I don’t know the PROPER pronunciation of his name. ALso, I was literally TERRIFED of his being Injured as I Watched him Pestering and Obviously Annoying LOMAKO 🤦🏽♀️ I don’t know what has his Underwear 🩲 in a bunch today 🤭 but I’d suggest he Calms Down. After LOMAKO **Threw Him** off the upper fLoor @ 8:57 he SEEMED to settle down for a hot minute before starting up his Pestering again. Lord Help him 🙏🏽 that LOMAKO doesn’t get too Upset.
The zookeepers pronounce Mosi as "Mo Si," which seems like a reasonable approach. Lomako has been very restrained and is handling the situation
@@AllThingsGorilla CooL 👍🏽
Which of the younger ones besides Mokango are Lomako’s biological children?
Mosi and nala
👍🏽 I asked that same question the other day. The Answer I received is that MOSI and MAKONGO definitely belong to LOMAKO (although I’ll NEVER accept or Understand the Reason Why the HORRIBLE decision was made to CASTRATE Mosi 😢) LOANGO (also Castrated) is the BROTHER of a Silverback named MAKULA? Who also Deceased at this same zoo 🤷🏽♀️ No real CLEAR Explanation given as to WHY. I’m Guessing that NALA and ZOLA belong to MAKULA also. LOMAKO only Joined the Troop AFTER the former Silverback Deceased.
Makongo is Lomako's only offspring if I'm not mistaken.
🦍 Lomako sired Makongo.
🦍 Makula sired Mosi, Nala and Zola.
🦍 Bongo sired Loango. 🦍
@@eaglesflyproud 👍🏽 Very Good 😌
Somebody should tell Mosi he can Never Ever be a Silverback coz the Zoo too his Manhood and thus will Not develop into what he should have become Sadly
😢If you want the attraction of having gorilla babies you have to have a plan in place for the male gorillas to go to, bachelor groups to reduce the tension of the troop. All zoos including zoos out of the country should work together. I’m not an expert but there has to be a way.
The castration decision was made by the EAZA, and the zoo is simply carrying out those instructions. The purpose of the decision is to allow surplus males to stay within their family groups without displaying aggression towards the silverback.I would rather see the establishment of bachelor troops to accommodate more single male gorillas instead.
@@AllThingsGorilla EXACTLY!!!🤎🦍🩶
@@lindapelle8738 You are 100% correct!🤎🦍🩶
@AllThingsGorilla Definitely...All countries should focus on building more high-quality enclosures for all the bachelor's and up and coming bachlors, elderly gorillas,and for troops in general.🤎🦍🩶
