Seems like Oumbi got bored and wanted to stir up some action. Glad no one got hurt. Those boys, Lope and Shufai, love their mama. They risked being badly hurt but went ahead fearlessly. Thank you for all the great films, SV!
They never hurt their kids it's usually the other way around when the males get older and fight dad for dominance then there will be problems. Most likely they will find Lope his own troop a few years down the line but that is a ways off.
They proved that they will make great Silverbacks. They came to the defense of their mother, it didn’t matter it was their father. They saw their mother being “bullied” & came to her defense. Now for whatever reason, it seems like Oumbi was in a mood & took it out on his mate. They are so much like humans. We get in moods & take it out on those we care for
That was intense, outside he was blowing off steam, damn inside was hectic, kudo's to the boys protecting mama... Awesome upload, thanks for sharing SV...✌️😅🍹
Papa looks like he wants some attention, Or least let’s play tag. Luv the way Lope jumped in and lil Shu Shu kept going after Papa. Best part they all let it go. Good video 🙏
Geez, dad got up on the wrong side of the bed! Look at the boys come to mom’s rescue and Biddy too? Towards the end, looks like Oumbi was quiet n content. Thank goodness. Didn’t want any of them hurt.... Great footage, SV. Love my gorilla family.
So proud of Lope and Shufai. The way they both protected mom. They are my heroes. You have to have guts to go after Oumbi, a magnificent big gorilla that woke up in a bad mood. But Oumbi could have easily destroyed both boys, yet didn't. So I give him alot of credit. He knew when to stop. 👍Oumbi.
Wonderful!! They could have stood back because dad's built like a huge over bearing male. But they didn't they ran in there to protect their mother who they love. And....they kept after him as he ran away. The little guy was so cute and brave
Wow that was quiet intense to watch, good that I had read your description first. So proud of them 2 brothers to defend their mum, way to go Lope and Shufai! ❤

Honestly, I totally saw Lope in Oumbi for the first time! It looked to me that Oumbi was just trying to get under anyone’s skin and get a little rise out of them. So very Lope-esque! 😂 I think I now can see where and who Lope got his ornery side from! 🥰❤️
I haven't seen too many videos of this family. You can tell in the beginning when the silverback ran and poked at the other he was in a playful mood. I believe he was teaching his family to always be ready.
Oumbi got up on the wrong side of his nest today!😲Love how Ozala's boys went to her rescue& defense!!!What i love about gorillas is how after their fight...they let it go& get back to life like nothing happened.we could learn alot from them!thx SV.great moment captured.🎃🐵🐵🌺🐵🌻🐵🎃🐵🌺🐵😉
I think its cause they cant talk. they cant talk shit about the other gorilla and have it get back to him in a train of gossip. it's the misunderstandings and ability to bring it back up and talk about it with others that makes us different. I'm not an ape expert tho. so who knows
Oumbi is Oumbi. He's a bit on the serious side compared to some other silverbacks I've seen. But, every gorilla is an individual. We don't know what they've been "saying" to each other all day. Maybe Ozala had been at him for something and he felt the need to re-assert his dominance. It's not entirely abnormal for a silverback to do that. If he'd really wanted to hurt her, Lope and Shufai wouldn't have been able to stop it for anything. Ozala is also a particularly noisy female. She doesn't back down easily. Just like with humans, that can happen with apes.
Yeah, agreed. It seems it's like a reconcilatory thing when the silverback is chased off by the kids. Like you said, if the silverback really wanted to, he could kill Ozala and the kids easily.
I think Oumbi was bored, after all it must be lonely at the top. If he looks at family members they look away. If he approaches family members they moved away. If he touches family members they pull away. If he tries to play or wrestle with family members they scream like heck and other family members attack him. Poor Oumbi on the inside he might still feel like Lope and Shufai sometimes,just wants some fun and mischief like when he was young. Put yourselves in his place people how would it feel if everyone always gave you the cold shoulder? And it won't change for him ever so to break the boredom it's his only option for attention I think,he's awesome I love him.😘🐵 Maybe he was testing the boys too,gauging how tuff they are coming along! 😉 Great vid SV Thankyou.😊
But one thing is for certain, that a bigger enclosure (I don't know the actual size) would enable them to display more natural behavior. And also some obstacles like logs and rocks to block vision to conspecifics would definitely reduce stress.
@@balazamon ignorance is bliss. the natural animal world is rough. super cruel and cut throat. especially in gorilla society. if i had the choice i'd choose captivity in a zoo. your life isn't in danger and you're fed well. most animals are just fighting to survive in the wild.
@@balazamon do you claim to be an expert? I never did. I just stated a well known fact for the care of a lot of species. And in my opinion this enclosure is lacking in these enrichment items.
That was awesome seeing those two small young males intervene. They weren't having it! It's also interesting that the silverback ended up running from them. I don't think he wanted to hurt them, and he didn't want to get bitten either.
Shufai the little gorilla is very brave! Haha Lope gets held back by the beams, while Shufai is chasing away. He even physically tried holding/pulling his dad back at the beginning. How old are Shufai and Lope? I know Lope is older. I am now getting to know this gorilla family. Love how each silverback have such different personalities. Love Momotaro, and Shabani's family. I found Haoko's family interesting as well. 😍
Blimey... edge of the seat stuff... excellent footage ... thanks again. My those boys can be rascals but don't anyone ever dare mess with their Mum or their Nan... got to love them for that especially my favourite Shufai.. not so little anymore but still very handsome :-)
Oumbi sure didn’t wake up in a good mood today. Taking it out on his wife like that. Oumbi may be twice their size but they will always protect their mom.
ahhh Sloggie...Just what I needed today... *: )* My heart is still *thumping* although I knew no serious harm was going to come to anyone... Oumbi just had some "itchy ants in his pants," & he was trying to "shake" them off...HaHaHa...Seriously, seeing how Shufai (hey...can I still refer to him as "Baby Shufai", *: )* & his lovable big bro rushed to protect their scared Mama, was seriously heartwarming...But I still *cracked up* when Oumbi literally ran away from his boys he loves so much...What cute, cute, CUTE footage...I only wish poor Ozala wasn't so frightened... *: )*
The calm after the storm cracks me up every time... 1:42 "Oh hi there...We're not doing anything. Just enjoying some family bonding in this love lovely weather. How are you today friend" hahah...🤣🤦♂️ Cracks me up.
I just adore oumbi and sin like, and his entire family .. I would act out also just from the stress if living in the same unchanging environment with humans gawking at them all day long
@Jayne Eyre That may be so but compared to their natural habitat this is a barren monotonous prison. How long would it take a human family to become a bit disfunctional in such a place?
Exactly! It’s horrible. I don’t think so much for being unchanging but far from appropriate if you see how they live in the wild. And being stared at 😢
Reading the title, before I started watching, I was thinking how strange "bc Momotaro is usually a pretty relaxes Silverback... especially with Genki." And then I hit play and saw it was this Gorilla fam. I, then, wasn't too worried bc Ozala doesn't mess around. I figured that out when she got mad about about him messing around with the other females and so went after him 😉. Heehee. I'm super proud of the boys though! I'd love to think that Gentaro and Kintaro would react the same for their mom, Genki.
Shufai is a great protector of his Mom and Biddy. It scares me when he jumps in between his dad and the targeted family member. This is not the first time he has put himself in harms way. Lope was yelling like Ozala, 😁. Thankful no one was hurt in the scuffle. Looked like the family was social distancing later on the day.
Princess Monkey. Yeah😄 At 1.50 timestamp, both Shufai and Lope turned their backs on Oumbi and facing away to show their displeasure of his attack on their Mom earlier. That was funny. 😉 Cool bro gangstas! 😆
Wow...You knew something was going to happen even if there hadn't been a title. The male and boss seemed out of sorts from the start. I'm glad everything settled down in the end. A very good video depicting how that even with gorillas, they can have an out of sorts day.
I asked that same question when I began to watch these videos. 😊. They’re not potty trained. They go anywhere and if you watch enough videos, you’ll see it. The keepers must clean often!
Strangely enough (considering how they’re considered so “intelligent”) they literally just let it drop wherever. Even my hamster knows better than to crap all over his critter condo and generally keeps it to one designated potty spot.
Sorry missed this post. Most of them have their usual place where they always go. Everytime I see Oumbi he has a pee next to the window with one leg on the low ledge. Asanti always sits on her spot, sitting on a pole low to the ground where she does her buisness. Lope, well he just pees anywhere. Even while running and climbing, you suddenly see a 3 meter fountain lol. Obviously too busy to stop and pee. No2 are mostly done sitting on the logs. And yes Staff regulary clean it all up during the day.
He could have easily ripped all three of them apart. As I watch over and over again... I wonder if it was a teaching moment for the boys?? Teaching that role of protection of the family.
Art W lol sorry I read your message wrong lol but it kind of reminds me when my dad would rough play with me just to make my brothers protect me. lions and lioness do the same with their cubs.
Those baby boys were brave and have the heart of a full grown silver back! It's just that their baby bodies haven't caught up with their Brave Heart!! They truly have earned their Eagle feather by showing their bravery to help their mom. If they were native Americans that's what would have happened for them, they would have been given an Eagle feather!🦅
She was probably stealing his food...she acts more like a man than a female. She is quite aggressive and he knows this. He needs to remind her that he is in charge.
Oh my goodness, well if you look at it, at least he wasnt beating on her or really trying to hurt her. He could have been wanting sex from her, and she wasnt having it, so he was giving chase but it scared Ozala. Shabani is the same way, I have also seen Haoko too, and Nene and Momoko really had a go at their mates. But as it is in the great ape world, there is a little commotion and then peace. Lope and Shufai are the best sons. You know I can never tell if Ouimba is mad or not, cause he just has that look all the time, he is amazing.
Yes that's exactly what I was thinking! He was chasing all of the females and I saw that typical lip curl that male animals do when they are thinking about females to try to see and sniff if any females might be in heat.
My grandma was one of fifteen kids. Her father was not normally violent, but one night he was playing poker with some friends and his wife came out and cut him off from his booze. He slapped her, and all his grown sons came flying out of their bedrooms. Leo got him first, one hit KO. Nobody messes with mom.
This is the part where i fell in love with Lope❤️😭Look How he protected his mother against his Giant But Dashing Father Oumbi❤️ PS - I wonder why you don't you make such videos more long like about 30mins😂
There are lots of reasons for the videos not being as long as 30 minutes. I never have that much footage to make them that long and interesting at the same time. I like to keep the videos at two times a week for the Twycross Gorillas. If I would make them that long I would only ever be able to show you one video a month. I'm still quite a drive away from the zoo and can't go any more than I already do. Also, most of the people prefer a quick under 2 minute video, my average is under 1 minute and hardly anybody watches more than 3 minutes. They do sleep/rest a lot in between or are in the back where I can't film. It's also even more difficult to get footage at the moment, as they prefer the inside to the outside and with covid and social distancing I can't move as I would like to. I hope that makes a bit more sense 😊
Looks like Oumbi was feeling frisky. Auntie Asante is never ‘up for’ any, being hand reared by humans she doesn’t think she’s a gorilla (looks like he’s finally given up on her). Granny Bidi is usually keen but she doesn’t respond to his playful passes. Ozala can’t be ready for another baby and Shufai really wants to keep his baby status....knowing what poor Lope went through, Ozala abandoned and rejected Lope when Shufai was born. Oumbi is ultimately respectful despite his superior strength he backs off when Asante. I love this family💖🌈 Thank you Mr Slogger Vlogger for keeping me informed.
Gee, I wonder why he's charging her I wonder why he is probably going nuts, I wonder why there's even that kind of a relationship... Could it be...THEY LIVE IN A F****** CAGE!! I'm not an animal rights activist but I've never killed anything in my life, and I love animals to no end. And respect the fact that they need to be in areas where they can properly thrive.
I was thinking it was almost like he was preparing them to be leaders. The way he just ran away after they reacted almost made it look like he was putting them through some sort of drill
That's why I don't care for the whole genre. Especially after watching a documentary about a group of chimps that went to another groups area just to kill them for their land. Nope, not having it.
@@dragonjoy1313 there's a video of a group of chimps killing one of their own in their troop literally for no reason at all.. I'm with you.. I'm not a fan at all.. they also kill & eat there young fairly often & even kill small children in Africa ..we've learned pretty much all there is to learn about them so I say keep a few in some labs & maybe some zoo's then stop wasting resources trying to conserve the wild chimps.. if they go.. then let them go.. 👍
@@zacktomczak4962 yes! EXACTLY!!!! every time I see one, or even a stuffed one, I mutter how much I dislike them. I don't understand how anyone thinks they're cute. But that's me. 🤔

I know right 🥴
Makes me proud of Lope and little brother. Ain’t no shame in screaming the way mama did. Her back-up took action.

Weird you say "Ain't no shame in screaming the way Mama did". Nobody said there was shame.
When stepdad on his drinking but you are done with his shit.
Awesome

They are doing just what any good son would and should do, humans take note.

So sad to see these big silverbacks go wild in the jiails. They need large areas, thick forests.
They would starve to death or be killed by other silver back groups in wild . Here they are well fed and happy
But one thing is for certain, that a bigger enclosure (I don't know the actual size) would enable them to display more natural behavior. And also some obstacles like logs and rocks to block vision to conspecifics would definitely reduce stress.

Great insight. Remember when Shabani’s family took a long time to get comfortable in their new indoor/outdoor enclosure.
Yes, gawking and making fun of them sometimes. Look at the moron beating his chest at the top right of the screen at 1:03

Shufai is going to be a beast when he gets older, he jumped right at his dad first.
It almost seems like Oumbie was looking for an "old fashioned Shabani chase" He didn't settle down until everyone chased him.
So true!
Ozala's scream is like what a siren mermaid would sound like!
Amazingly! Exciting! Interesting channel! Thanks for sharing...

Wow how everyone has grown! Shufai and Lope leapt into action.
Those baby boys were brave and have the heart of a full grown silver back! It's just that their baby bodies haven't caught up with their Brave Heart!! They truly have earned their Eagle feather by showing their bravery to help their mom. If they were native Americans that's what would have happened for them, they would have been given an Eagle feather!🦅
I am proud to see Lope and Shufai take control. Especially for Lope to chase his father like he did.
Moral: Don't mess with Mom. Your sons love her.
That was adorable x
Lol this is like when me and the wife are play fighting and she crys for backup..... In comes my Daughter like a steamroller 😂
She was probably stealing his food...she acts more like a man than a female.
She is quite aggressive and he knows this.
He needs to remind her that he is in charge.
Didnt work 😂
I know we're closer to chimps but gorillas seem more human to me
Oh my goodness, well if you look at it, at least he wasnt beating on her or really trying to hurt her. He could have been wanting sex from her, and she wasnt having it, so he was giving chase but it scared Ozala. Shabani is the same way, I have also seen Haoko too, and Nene and Momoko really had a go at their mates. But as it is in the great ape world, there is a little commotion and then peace. Lope and Shufai are the best sons. You know I can never tell if Ouimba is mad or not, cause he just has that look all the time, he is amazing.
Yes that's exactly what I was thinking! He was chasing all of the females and I saw that typical lip curl that male animals do when they are thinking about females to try to see and sniff if any females might be in heat.
Looks like dad came home drunk and mom and kids were not having it😂😂
Isn't this just the Silverback messing around? They seem to do this to get everyone to chase them.
Definitely changed how I look at gorillas!!! How much of this has to do with not having enough room for all of them?
Could do with better surroundings , that inclosure looks very grim.
My grandma was one of fifteen kids. Her father was not normally violent, but one night he was playing poker with some friends and his wife came out and cut him off from his booze. He slapped her, and all his grown sons came flying out of their bedrooms. Leo got him first, one hit KO. Nobody messes with mom.
This is the part where i fell in love with Lope❤️😭Look How he protected his mother against his Giant But Dashing Father Oumbi❤️ PS - I wonder why you don't you make such videos more long like about 30mins😂
There are lots of reasons for the videos not being as long as 30 minutes. I never have that much footage to make them that long and interesting at the same time. I like to keep the videos at two times a week for the Twycross Gorillas. If I would make them that long I would only ever be able to show you one video a month. I'm still quite a drive away from the zoo and can't go any more than I already do. Also, most of the people prefer a quick under 2 minute video, my average is under 1 minute and hardly anybody watches more than 3 minutes. They do sleep/rest a lot in between or are in the back where I can't film. It's also even more difficult to get footage at the moment, as they prefer the inside to the outside and with covid and social distancing I can't move as I would like to. I hope that makes a bit more sense 😊
Looks like Oumbi was feeling frisky. Auntie Asante is never ‘up for’ any, being hand reared by humans she doesn’t think she’s a gorilla (looks like he’s finally given up on her). Granny Bidi is usually keen but she doesn’t respond to his playful passes. Ozala can’t be ready for another baby and Shufai really wants to keep his baby status....knowing what poor Lope went through, Ozala abandoned and rejected Lope when Shufai was born. Oumbi is ultimately respectful despite his superior strength he backs off when Asante. I love this family💖🌈 Thank you Mr Slogger Vlogger for keeping me informed.
Dude should consider in going to the men's open in the 2021 Mr. O!
Bless those boys! Lope is Mum's defender 😍
Don't get in there way with the silverback look out best wishes to everyone in the troops take care you bright and smart animals. Joe
Well, after they got that out of their systems, now they are all correctly socially distancing.🙂
It was a happy ending though😍
When they turned their backs on him at the end. They had no respect for him. Never play with a mother.
That silverback is a UNIT.
Lope and Shafui #1 Fan!
Sad to see these magnificent animals in captivity.
In the wild, Oumbi needs a 1mile radius, this zoo isn't set up for him
That enclosure looks grim! Like an old council housing estate
My boys did the same thing when their dad got out of line
Shufai is such a good son. I 🧡 him!
Gee, I wonder why he's charging her I wonder why he is probably going nuts, I wonder why there's even that kind of a relationship... Could it be...THEY LIVE IN A F****** CAGE!! I'm not an animal rights activist but I've never killed anything in my life, and I love animals to no end. And respect the fact that they need to be in areas where they can properly thrive.
This behaviour likely happens in the wild and like it or not captivity unfortunately may be the key to survival for many animal species.
Those were good boys.
Not sure what got in to Oumbi. Maybe he's putting Lope to the test in seeing how far he will go to protect mom. Maybe and then maybe not.
I was thinking it was almost like he was preparing them to be leaders. The way he just ran away after they reacted almost made it look like he was putting them through some sort of drill
He Oumbi stops showing off, playing matamore in front of kids and women
And to think Gorillas are much gentler than Chimps....
That's why I don't care for the whole genre. Especially after watching a documentary about a group of chimps that went to another groups area just to kill them for their land. Nope, not having it.
@@dragonjoy1313 there's a video of a group of chimps killing one of their own in their troop literally for no reason at all.. I'm with you.. I'm not a fan at all.. they also kill & eat there young fairly often & even kill small children in Africa ..we've learned pretty much all there is to learn about them so I say keep a few in some labs & maybe some zoo's then stop wasting resources trying to conserve the wild chimps.. if they go.. then let them go.. 👍
@@zacktomczak4962 yes! EXACTLY!!!! every time I see one, or even a stuffed one, I mutter how much I dislike them. I don't understand how anyone thinks they're cute. But that's me. 🤔
@alicia baldwin vile indeed.. but we are human, so instead of humanity as a whole, just target the ones who are more vile than most..👍
Omg, it was a domestic violence situation there. Her 2 sons were like, "Back off old man!"
Amazing how close Gorilla and Human's behavior are so similiar.
