We will all leave behind our legacy - we will be remembered for the good or the bad we have brought to others. I believe Freddy and Jameela’s legacy will be exhibiting the magic of the tender love between Mother and baby that these Great Apes have and Larry for continuing to put forth his time to make the effort to film, edit and upload these special creatures. Long after we are no longer here, Larry’s efforts now, will memorialize this extraordinary family of Great Apes for further generations to find and fall in love with, just as we have right now…. 💗☺️
Larry, your videos inspired me to start watching documentaries about various primates. I know some people think that no animals should live in zoos. Maybe some day humans will be advanced enough for that to be a reality. Between your videos and various documentaries, I have a bit of understanding about species survival plans and the role they play in our world.
I know ~ just hoping she has some pleasant times in the troop and definitely with her keepers. 💙🌿 She gets extra love from the folks at Cleveland Metropark Zoo are very caring re: individual needs.
Tusa has such an inquisitive face. I wish we could see a little more of her. Baby Kunda is so long and lean and baby Jameela is so short and chubby ❤❤❤. These two little girls are so cute!! I love watching them and Keyambi our little mini Mokolo ❤❤. Thank you for the updates!!
De acuerdo al 💯 contigo, las niñas y kayembe son unos pequeños y lindos amorcitos 🥰🦍🦍🦍❤️me uno a tu petición y saber más de Tusa y el resto de la tropa
Wow - you weren't kidding re: the size of Mokolo vs. Freddie. 🩵🌿Such gorgeous gorillas. Like others here, my heart goes out to dear Tusa - just don't want anyone to feel like a misfit, tho I'm sure it's not a conscious thought she has. 💙 Amazing, clear footage, Larry. Appreciate you.
The new camera is SO much better Larry! Crystal clear on closeups. I'm still so in awe of Freddy. I get tired of thinking of raising a baby at 45, cant imagine doing it at 50! Keep up the great work!
Thank you. I can understand why she was afraid … this 400 pound gorilla approaches rather quickly- that can be scary! 🤣. Thank you for sharing a comment today Maureen. 👋😁
Wow Larry! Your video and skills makes me think I’m just a few feet away from them. It’s spectacular! One of my favorite things to watch for is how effortlessly Freddie places Jameela on her back. Thank you for giving Tusa some time in the limelight today. Love the music too!
Mokolo wanted to grab Jameela foot again, that's why he sat so close 😂 The gentle giant wants to play with the babies, but Kebi and Fredi are like not yet, play with Kayembe
Great video. The little girls are progressing nicely. Kayembe looks like a little powerhouse. He's almost 3 years old, I believe. He'll be a big boy. Thank you for showing Tusa.. don't get to see her much. Mokolo seems like an easy going guy... nice Silverback.
The best thing about waking up every Saturday is knowing that you will surprise us with new and entertaining videos from our beautiful Mokolo’s family. This is my best birthday present today.❤❤❤❤

@@AnaMariaNajera-lx2st Ana Maria hola ! Gracias por tus lindas palabras tan llenas de amor, bondad y generosidad. Cada año me toca pasar mi cumpleaños sola por qué mi esposo está de viaje pero le doy gracias a Dios por darme la oportunidad de un año más y poder compartir por acá con nuestra hermosa comunidad de personas que amamos a los gorillas. Te mando un abrazo gigante y mil bendiciones. 🫶♥️🥰
Nice and cute catching of moms and their beloved babies🥰Kunda exploring through hers and moms food and little Jammy strugling her way through the branches as usual😄🤭😍 her nibbling on some green lettuce is so sweet to watch😍I hope to see Kunda and Jameela will play together in peace some day🥰❤️good job Larry👏👍❤️🌞🌻
Babies Kunda and Jameela are too precious! It's interesting to watch Freddy and Kebi's different parenting styles...both wonderful mother gorillas. Look forward to the day when Kunda and Jameela play together. Tusa always seems on the outskirts of the family. Perhaps she prefers solitude? Thanks, Larry, for another beautiful video.
Thanks! Nice video of the little girls. Love seeing Kunda get a little distance between Kebi and her, but not for long, then mom is right there to scoop her up. Keyembe was very calm today. Thanks so much Larry! Loved the music today!
The clarity of the videos is amazing. Thanks larry! The babies are so adorable, the strength in their arms and teeth for being so little and weighing so little is awesome. They seemed pretty calm this go around. Love watching them.
Thank you. One thing I’ve found amazing is the arm strength they have at just 9-12 month of age. They can hang and swing from just one arm for almost a minute at that age! Thank you for leaving a comment today! 👋😁
@@larrysanimalsafari that’s amazing 1 minute is a long time. They’re so absolutely fun to watch. I was watching I believe Kebi that was carrying that huge branch in her teeth up to the top level and watched one of the babies chewing on the limb on the ground. Their teeth must be so sharp and strong.
Someday son. I have series on just Jameela only and another on Kunda only. Thought I’d start numbering series where they both appear. Thanks for sharing a comment today ! 👋😁
Good morning from Michigan! Kunda said I’ll take some of that! 😂 Congrats Kebi! You’re going to be a grandma and Kunda an auntie! ❤ Did Kunda sneak away from mom? 😂😂 Look at Jameela trying to eat too! It does look 👀 as if Jameela went to the hairdresser! 😂😂❤❤ Thanks Larry! Enjoy your day! ☺️
Thanks Larry. Kunda was not her usual adventurous self today. She appeared clingy and scared to see Kayembe approaching, which is unusual. It’s usually only Keri who acts fiercely. Kunda appeared frailed and scared today. Maybe it’s because she witnessed what Kayembe did to Jameela or maybe Kayembe got her too. Jameela is not wondering far from her mommy anymore. She avoids Kayembe like the plague. Freddy is more alert to safeguard her.
🤔 I haven’t seen any big issues, but I’m not there all the time. For some of this video Kebi had Kunda up on the tower. That’s one way to keep Kunda from exploring. Thanks for sharing a comment today Darlaine! 👋😁
Kunda ist ein süßes aufgewecktes Kind. 😄🥰❤ Die Kleine hat sich so schön entwickelt. Kebi eine wachsame liebevolle Mama. Sie ist schon etwas relaxter geworden. 😉❤ Tusa ein Familienmitglied mit eigenen Bedürfnissen. Ein gutes Essen und ihr eigener Platz mit Ruhe. 🥰 Kebi und Freddy mit ihren Babys gehen sich aus dem Weg. Die Mamas wollen nicht, dass die Babys sich an den Haaren ziehen. 🤭 Schnell Kunda auf den Arm nehmen, Kayembe ist in der Nähe. 🤣 Mokolo ist wirklich stattlich. 😍 Freddy und Jameela wirken ganz klein neben Mokolo. Freddy zieht mit Jameela langsam weiter. 😄
I just watched the CMZ livestream. Kayembe took Jameela on quite the adventure-poor Fredrika couldn't keep up nor climb as high. 2nd time they were on ground level, she went after him she ran! He had both little girls for a little bit too, I think. Gotta see it again!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING LARRY! BLESSED SUNDAY TO ALL CARE GIVERS AT CLEVELAND ZOO! GROW STRONG AND HEALTHY KUNDA AND JAMEELA! GOOD JOB MAMA FREDRIKA! I CAN WATCH THE GORILLA'S ALL DAY! SO POWERFUL, INTELLIGENT, AND LOVING! 🫶🦍😇
Been on a cruise. Haven’t watched the family for a week. Need my fix this morning. Great to see Freddy and her family. Love the videos Larry. Thanks from Florida.
I have had the same thought. Moreso thinking does she know that it is not her biological baby she has given birth to. Or is it too complex of a thought and once she found Jameela she just said "mine" and does not know the difference? I know they are smart animals. Just curious how far their minds reach with maternal matters.
Does Jameela really eat any plants yet or does she just take them to her mouth and then spit it out. Hard to tell seems like she plays with same stuff mom eats. Started watching your videos whem Jameela arrived, really enjoying them.
Jameela e Kunda estão lindas, Jameela levou um susto com o tamanho do seu pai Mokolo, ele é carinhoso com bebês e Kayembe, lamento que Tusa esteja no canto sozinha, ela parece solitária, ninguém que não tenha sofrido um trauma ou algum outro problema gosta da solidão, gorilas e humanos, somos seres sociáveis, espero que Tusa consiga se comunicar com as mulheres da família e Mokolo, eu não sei se ela quer ser mãe, mas espero que deixe de ser solitária, ela tem uma presença marcante mesmo quieta. Essa familia é linda❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kebi was brought to Cleveland on a breeding recommendation by the gorilla SSP. (Kambera was about 14 at that time). Also, when Kambera was about 18 years old she was moved to Zoo Atlanta for the same reason. The gorilla SSP want to create Self sustaining, genetically diverse populations for future generations.
CLAP IT UP EVERYBODY 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 and Send CONGRATULATIONS 🍾🎊 🥳🎈🥂🎁 to Madam KEBI 💕🥰🦋🌺💜 Rumor has it her daughter KAMBERA is expecting a little bundle of Primate JOY in the next several weeks 🥰 Also, KEBI deserves Honor and Congratulations for the truly EXCELLENT Mama she is to her own baby KUNDA 👸🏻 I LOVE them BOTH 😍 so very Much. SHE’s the Superlative EXAMPLE of what a Loving, Caring and ATTENTIVE Gorilla Mama 🥰 should be, and what I’d like to see in Gorilla Mamas in aLL the different families that I watch on YT. However, Sadly, there are FEW who are able to follow Kebi’s example for one reason or another MOSTLY due to the Inadvertent negligence of **Keepers** IN MY OPINION. So DON’T Anyone jump in my comments with their dribble about how Christlike the Keepers are 🙄 because they’re human and therefore NOT perfect. I believe there are too few of them perhaps 🤷🏽♀️ or the money 💰 and Resources aren’t Readily available for them to be ABLE to give every Gorilla Personalized and round-the-cLock care.
@@larrysanimalsafari 😊 You’re Very Welcome 🙏🏽 Whenever you post a **New Video** of the family, I’m guaranteed to be Found sitting on the Edge of my sofa EXCITEDLY and Anxiously Waiting to see what Great Footage of the MOKOLO troop your Subscribers are in Store for 💜 and You NEVER FAIL to Impress or meet our High Expectations!! Thank you Thank you, a MILLION Times Thank you for your Tireless Efforts to BLess us with WonderfuL Videos and Timely Helpful Information re what’s going on with the different Troops 🦋🌺💕
Кунда стала уже осторожной и внимательной. Ну во первых немного повзрослела, а потом скорей всего поняла, что от мамы далеко отходить нельзя, можно и отхватить от шалуна Кайембе или ........ Это хорошо так как не только мама, но и жизнь всему научит.
Fantastic video thank you. The picture quality with your new video camera is excellent and the ability to focus beyond the fence makes a big difference. Which video camera you are using please?
Reviewing that again, I did see the red dot on Kebi’s right wrist. Not sure the source - she didn’t seem to not be affected by it. Camera aberration maybe 🤷♂️ because it was only visible for a few seconds.
Was it only me, or did anyone else see what appeared to be a boo boo on Kebi's right forearm? A spot of red, with missing chunk of fur appears while she's eating...
He has accepted them. They didn’t just toss Jameela in there with them. She spent weeks next to the gorillas at the back of their indoor habitat. He was able to see, hear and smell her over that time frame before she was introduced inside the habitat.
Gracias Larry por actualizarnos porque Keby siendo una mamá tan experimentada es tan protectora de Kunda y esta tan delgadita su hija mayor nació en el 99 tiene 25 años y Freddy con 50 años increíble mamá adoptiva que amor por Yameela y Kayembe Yameela ha sido bendecida esta gordita por favor todas las personas que amamos estas familias de gorilas unamonos al clamor por Nene la de Sabanis a sus 50 años abuela y visabuela vive malos tiempos con el deterioro de su salud es maltratada por su nieta Annis al punto de caer en esta semana de una plataforma muy alta tiene su ojo cerrado izquierdo heridas grandes arriba del ojo en su mano izquierda hombro derecho casi no puede caminar por su pierna derecha muy inflamada con esta edad tienen mucha artritis es triste ver en las condiciones que se encuentra Nene fue reina hoy Cenicienta maltratada y sus cuidadores deben aislarla para que pueda recuperarse no lo lograra si no es así no dan un parte medico con seriedad ayer Sabanis por defendería shuyentando el rest de gorilas la empujó y cayó en medio del salón allí permaneció mucho tiempo unamonos los seguidores de estas familias a clamar por ella ests muy mal no merece eso gracias
Play…not with Jameela or Kunda. He has been up close to the babies- even reaches out to touch l, but then a mom will pull baby away from big Daddy. He does play with Kayembe. That’s usually Mokolo sittting on ground or in hammock while Kayembe runs into or jumps on daddy. I don’t have much video in that since those two are a ball of black fur and/or large crowds gather to watch.
Wow, Mokolo is a BIG boy in comparison to Freddy! I wonder if Mokolo mated with Freddy and he thinks Jameela is his or does he not remember mating with her but thinks he must have because there are no other males, hence Jameela is his. Any thoughts (or knowledge) on this (other than I have a lot (maybe too much 🤣) of time to wonder)? Thank you for this video, Larry! 😍
Thank you for sharing a comment today Lola. I can’t say if these two actually mated in the past. She and Kebi arrived in mid 2017 and I wasn’t following this troop at that time.
Gorillas get most of their liquids from plant materials. There are automatic drinking nipple waterers available for gorillas. Similar to something used for hamsters.
@@larrysanimalsafari I thought that was alfalfa hay I have had horses since I was a kid and alfalfa hay is the best hay especially for pregnant and lactating mares. I'm so happy these magnificent gorillas are so well taken care of
Usually it’s Freddy that prevents their touching, because Jameela is still too small to wrestle. Also, Kebi IS a very protective mom. Hopefully in a few more months the two can play together. Thanks for sharing a comment /question today Elizabeth. 👋😁
At the beginning of the video I did see the red spot for a few seconds. I’m not sure if the camera created that or not. Kebi does not seem to be affected by it. Thanks for sharing your comment/question today Diana. 👋😁
@@larrysanimalsafari Thank you for what you do. Your youtube channel is the first channel I ever subscribed to! Kayembe is my favorite, "he's trying to be patient." Super cute!!! Can't wait for all the kiddos to play together!!!!
Well thank you for taking the leap and Subscribing. Hope you enjoy more of the videos! If you’re a new subscriber let me point out I did a series of videos to introduce you to each adult gorilla. You might enjoy those - found under my playlist “meet Cleveland Gorillas”. Welcome! 👋😁
From what I’ve learned in my 2-1/2 years following gorillas, giving birth at age 8-11 is rather common, especially for something that happened 20 years ago. Gorillas physically mature faster than humans. Females are considered adults at around age 8 to 10. Males are considered as adults at age 12-15, (sexual activity/reproduction can occur for both prior to that “adult” label.). Today, having a baby at age 8 is not the norm. Now gorilla births are managed by the gorilla “Species Survival Plan”. SSP’s for zoo animals started around 1981.
Great video! Also Larry, I have question. I know you are very familiar with animal behavior and care from their keepers. Is it normal for a zoo to keep an elderly, injured and in pain gorilla with its troop even though it is hurting itself and some of troop is harassing her? This is in regard to disturbing video from the Shabani troop in Japan and its grandma Nene.
I can't bear to watch their videos. 💔 Too many countries are still treating animals like zoos did a century ago. They whale in Japan, too, so their mindset re: wildlife must be very different. (On the other hand, one of our Native American tribes were just permitted to kill whales again, as well, so I'm probably a hypocrite to compare. It's still awful.) Paz y luz 💙🙏
IamAdrienne-i completely trust Shabani's vets and keepers.they are the experts.we are not.Each Zoo knows the gorillas, the best.let's see what today brings.Gorillas are so interdependent on each other.i am praying for Nene and the family.💝🦍💝🪷
@IamAdrienne Biddy, in the UK, is going through this too. I'm starting to realize that this is normal behavior in gorilla troops. When a female gorilla becomes old or feeble, her own offspring will turn on her. I wonder if they eventually drive them out of the troop in the wild. Since Winston's death, Kamilah has basically been hiding.
@@lynngold1865 You are wearing rose-colored glasses. While zoos take good care of their gorillas, they are sometimes very slow to remove gorillas from bad situations. There are too many tragic outcomes to ignore. Have you heard the story of Bikira in Prague Zoo?
Good morning, complex situation…I see a few of my regular viewers have made some appropriate comments. I agree with what’s being said. Different countries do have different practices (some not so good). Great apes have complex relationships, removing one has its ripple effects in the others. And zoo keepers are the closest people to the animals- we have to hope they do their best to manage their care. I wonder what theyare doing to help manage Nene’s physical pain? 🤔🙏

Music was the perfect addition. I had my sound on for the first time and relaxed the entire time watching the beautiful gorillas
We will all leave behind our legacy - we will be remembered for the good or the bad we have brought to others.

Does Jameela really eat any plants yet or does she just take them to her mouth and then spit it out. Hard to tell seems like she plays with same stuff mom eats. Started watching your videos whem Jameela arrived, really enjoying them.
Thank you. While young gorillas still get most of their nutrition from mom’s milk they start sampling solid food around six months of age.
Jameela e Kunda estão lindas, Jameela levou um susto com o tamanho do seu pai Mokolo, ele é carinhoso com bebês e Kayembe, lamento que Tusa esteja no canto sozinha, ela parece solitária, ninguém que não tenha sofrido um trauma ou algum outro problema gosta da solidão, gorilas e humanos, somos seres sociáveis, espero que Tusa consiga se comunicar com as mulheres da família e Mokolo, eu não sei se ela quer ser mãe, mas espero que deixe de ser solitária, ela tem uma presença marcante mesmo quieta. Essa familia é linda❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing a comment today Claudia. 👋😁
I'm curious to know why Kebi was separated from her first child?
Kebi was brought to Cleveland on a breeding recommendation by the gorilla SSP. (Kambera was about 14 at that time). Also, when Kambera was about 18 years old she was moved to Zoo Atlanta for the same reason. The gorilla SSP want to create Self sustaining, genetically diverse populations for future generations.

Oh my! Mokolo is huge when sitting next to Freddie! Great video, Larry. Thank you!🥰🦍
You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing a comment today Terri! 👋😁
Lesson learned for 'Kids': Eat more vegetables if you want to
grow-up big and strong!!!
👍😁. Thanks for sharing a comment today Thomas. 👋
CLAP IT UP EVERYBODY 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 and Send CONGRATULATIONS 🍾🎊 🥳🎈🥂🎁 to Madam KEBI 💕🥰🦋🌺💜 Rumor has it her daughter KAMBERA is expecting a little bundle of Primate JOY in the next several weeks 🥰 Also, KEBI deserves Honor and Congratulations for the truly EXCELLENT Mama she is to her own baby KUNDA 👸🏻 I LOVE them BOTH 😍 so very Much. SHE’s the Superlative EXAMPLE of what a Loving, Caring and ATTENTIVE Gorilla Mama 🥰 should be, and what I’d like to see in Gorilla Mamas in aLL the different families that I watch on YT. However, Sadly, there are FEW who are able to follow Kebi’s example for one reason or another MOSTLY due to the Inadvertent negligence of **Keepers** IN MY OPINION. So DON’T Anyone jump in my comments with their dribble about how Christlike the Keepers are 🙄 because they’re human and therefore NOT perfect. I believe there are too few of them perhaps 🤷🏽♀️ or the money 💰 and Resources aren’t Readily available for them to be ABLE to give every Gorilla Personalized and round-the-cLock care.
Yes, looking forward to Kambera having a healthy baby at Zoo Atlanta soon! Thanks for sharing a comment today Rene! 👋😁

Tulsa looks so sad…

Larry, i sent a donation to you for all your awesome videos.hope you received it b/c i dont see it posted.Thx again🎉
I usually receive two notification with any donation. I did get one but not the second. Give it a few days - maybe there was a glitch/delay. Thank you
Кунда стала уже осторожной и внимательной. Ну во первых немного повзрослела, а потом скорей всего поняла, что от мамы далеко отходить нельзя, можно и отхватить от шалуна Кайембе или ........ Это хорошо так как не только мама, но и жизнь всему научит.
👍😁
Larry, I just found out that Kebi's daughter is pregnant and due in a couple of months!
Oh how exciting for them - another baby! 👍😁
🦍❣
I saw that too. She looked so cute with her “baby tummy”!Kebi is going to be a grandma!!💕🦍🥰💕🦍🥰
Never knew they eat there bedding too lol
They generally eat the alfalfa hay that is in with them. The bedding is a separate item.
Fantastic video thank you. The picture quality with your new video camera is excellent and the ability to focus beyond the fence makes a big difference. Which video camera you are using please?
Thank you. And thanks for sharing a comment today. 👋😁
Hi Larry. Do you know when gorilla's begin teething?
Young gorillas begin teething at around 5 of age. 👋😁
Looks like a wound on Kebi’s right wrist area or am I just seeing things?
Reviewing that again, I did see the red dot on Kebi’s right wrist. Not sure the source - she didn’t seem to not be affected by it. Camera aberration maybe 🤷♂️ because it was only visible for a few seconds.
Was it only me, or did anyone else see what appeared to be a boo boo on Kebi's right forearm? A spot of red, with missing chunk of fur appears while she's eating...
I saw it, but was not sure if it some camera aberration.
The Silverback doesnt mind these foster babies? Does he accept them too or does he ignore ??
He has accepted them. They didn’t just toss Jameela in there with them. She spent weeks next to the gorillas at the back of their indoor habitat. He was able to see, hear and smell her over that time frame before she was introduced inside the habitat.
@@larrysanimalsafari oh ok great thanks!
Thx 🌻
Thank you for sharing a comment/emoji today. 👋😁
Who was Kambara Dupe's father? Just ❤ watching Kebi and her little guy Kunda.
Anakka was Kambera Dupe’s father. He passed away in 2016 at Columbus Zoo during a routine exam while anesthetized.
@@larrysanimalsafari thank you, Eternal and long lasting peace to Anakka. God bless
Gracias Larry por actualizarnos porque Keby siendo una mamá tan experimentada es tan protectora de Kunda y esta tan delgadita su hija mayor nació en el 99 tiene 25 años y Freddy con 50 años increíble mamá adoptiva que amor por Yameela y Kayembe Yameela ha sido bendecida esta gordita por favor todas las personas que amamos estas familias de gorilas unamonos al clamor por Nene la de Sabanis a sus 50 años abuela y visabuela vive malos tiempos con el deterioro de su salud es maltratada por su nieta Annis al punto de caer en esta semana de una plataforma muy alta tiene su ojo cerrado izquierdo heridas grandes arriba del ojo en su mano izquierda hombro derecho casi no puede caminar por su pierna derecha muy inflamada con esta edad tienen mucha artritis es triste ver en las condiciones que se encuentra Nene fue reina hoy Cenicienta maltratada y sus cuidadores deben aislarla para que pueda recuperarse no lo lograra si no es así no dan un parte medico con seriedad ayer Sabanis por defendería shuyentando el rest de gorilas la empujó y cayó en medio del salón allí permaneció mucho tiempo unamonos los seguidores de estas familias a clamar por ella ests muy mal no merece eso gracias

Does Mokolo play or get near the babies?
Play…not with Jameela or Kunda. He has been up close to the babies- even reaches out to touch l, but then a mom will pull baby away from big Daddy. He does play with Kayembe. That’s usually Mokolo sittting on ground or in hammock while Kayembe runs into or jumps on daddy. I don’t have much video in that since those two are a ball of black fur and/or large crowds gather to watch.
Wow, Mokolo is a BIG boy in comparison to Freddy!
I wonder if Mokolo mated with Freddy and he thinks Jameela is his or does he not remember mating with her but thinks he must have because there are no other males, hence Jameela is his. Any thoughts (or knowledge) on this (other than I have a lot (maybe too much 🤣) of time to wonder)?
Thank you for this video, Larry! 😍
Thank you for sharing a comment today Lola. I can’t say if these two actually mated in the past. She and Kebi arrived in mid 2017 and I wasn’t following this troop at that time.
Larry I was wondering if the gorillas drink much water. I never see them drink except when the keeper gives them bottles thru the enclosure.
Gorillas get most of their liquids from plant materials. There are automatic drinking nipple waterers available for gorillas. Similar to something used for hamsters.
@@larrysanimalsafari Thank you so much.
At 3:15 it looks like Kebi's wrist is hurt...I see an open wound. Hope she'll be healed soon.
I don’t see that in this video. Lighting is very bright/harsh. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. 👋😁
Are the gorillas eating hay?
Yes, alfalfa hay and also browse and assorted greens. 👋😁
@@larrysanimalsafari I thought that was alfalfa hay I have had horses since I was a kid and alfalfa hay is the best hay especially for pregnant and lactating mares. I'm so happy these magnificent gorillas are so well taken care of
Why don't Jameela and Kunda play together? I've seen them try to touch other, but Kebi pulls Kunda away from Jameela. ❤❤
Usually it’s Freddy that prevents their touching, because Jameela is still too small to wrestle. Also, Kebi IS a very protective mom. Hopefully in a few more months the two can play together. Thanks for sharing a comment /question today Elizabeth. 👋😁
Hi Larry, any idea what happened to Kebi's arm?
At the beginning of the video I did see the red spot for a few seconds. I’m not sure if the camera created that or not. Kebi does not seem to be affected by it. Thanks for sharing your comment/question today Diana. 👋😁
@@larrysanimalsafari Thank you for what you do. Your youtube channel is the first channel I ever subscribed to! Kayembe is my favorite, "he's trying to be patient." Super cute!!! Can't wait for all the kiddos to play together!!!!
Well thank you for taking the leap and Subscribing. Hope you enjoy more of the videos! If you’re a new subscriber let me point out I did a series of videos to introduce you to each adult gorilla. You might enjoy those - found under my playlist “meet Cleveland Gorillas”. Welcome! 👋😁
8years-old is really young for a gorilla to have a child. How was that allowed by the zoo?
From what I’ve learned in my 2-1/2 years following gorillas, giving birth at age 8-11 is rather common, especially for something that happened 20 years ago. Gorillas physically mature faster than humans. Females are considered adults at around age 8 to 10. Males are considered as adults at age 12-15, (sexual activity/reproduction can occur for both prior to that “adult” label.). Today, having a baby at age 8 is not the norm. Now gorilla births are managed by the gorilla “Species Survival Plan”. SSP’s for zoo animals started around 1981.

Great video! Also Larry, I have question. I know you are very familiar with animal behavior and care from their keepers. Is it normal for a zoo to keep an elderly, injured and in pain gorilla with its troop even though it is hurting itself and some of troop is harassing her? This is in regard to disturbing video from the Shabani troop in Japan and its grandma Nene.
I can't bear to watch their videos. 💔 Too many countries are still treating animals like zoos did a century ago.
They whale in Japan, too, so their mindset re: wildlife must be very different. (On the other hand, one of our Native American tribes were just permitted to kill whales again, as well, so I'm probably a hypocrite to compare. It's still awful.)
Paz y luz 💙🙏
IamAdrienne-i completely trust Shabani's vets and keepers.they are the experts.we are not.Each Zoo knows the gorillas, the best.let's see what today brings.Gorillas are so interdependent on each other.i am praying for Nene and the family.💝🦍💝🪷
@IamAdrienne Biddy, in the UK, is going through this too. I'm starting to realize that this is normal behavior in gorilla troops. When a female gorilla becomes old or feeble, her own offspring will turn on her. I wonder if they eventually drive them out of the troop in the wild. Since Winston's death, Kamilah has basically been hiding.
@@lynngold1865 You are wearing rose-colored glasses. While zoos take good care of their gorillas, they are sometimes very slow to remove gorillas from bad situations. There are too many tragic outcomes to ignore. Have you heard the story of Bikira in Prague Zoo?
Good morning, complex situation…I see a few of my regular viewers have made some appropriate comments. I agree with what’s being said. Different countries do have different practices (some not so good). Great apes have complex relationships, removing one has its ripple effects in the others. And zoo keepers are the closest people to the animals- we have to hope they do their best to manage their care. I wonder what theyare doing to help manage Nene’s physical pain? 🤔🙏
I wish Freddie would let Jameela attempt to interact with Mokolo
Eventually she will. 😁
Kebi tiene muy poca leche en las mamas. Quizas por eso el bebé kunda sea tan chiquito comparados con otros bebes a su edad. Son hermosos todos❤
🤷♂️😁. Thanks for sharing a comment today.
Thanks!
Thank you Denise! I do appreciate the extra support! 👋😁
