I love that Momma Delila has stepped in to care for baby Makongo ❤ she's been very protective and loving of him and it's beautiful watching them together.
5:41 Very Cute baby Makongo😍💗💕, 10:06 He really loves that milk😯, 19:12 Makongo must be scared of heights based on that look😂🙏🏻❤️, Makongo also looks very Happy & Heathy thanks to the zookeepers & Queen Dalila👑❤️💖.
I enjoy so much seeing Makongo. Seeing his precious face always bring a smile to my face and joy in my heart. Can’t wait until he gets older, but for now, I’ll just enjoy watching him grow. His dad is going to enjoy playtime with him too. Thank you for any and all updates as they come in. I really appreciate it. 🥰❤️❤️
It's easy to forget but even in her old age Dalila is bigger than all the other females in this group, she still has her status as an alpha female and is the only one in this group to stare straight into the silverbacks's eyes(a no no for gorillas) Bottom line is: she has the situation under control, ain't no one messing with her and the baby
Dalila is holding Makongo ventro ventral for a change. Maybe she realizes that it’s safer in case of a marauding sibling. Ventro sort of. She was furious with Zola. Do not blame her. I’m blown away by her pure altruism in rearing the baby in his mother’s absence. She’s older and raising babies takes a lot of energy. She’s so amazing ❤
Dalila is an exceptional foster mother. She knows that the young gorillas are trying to take the baby away, but with the baby’s feeding time approaching, she ensures nothing goes wrong to delay the baby’s meal.😍👸🦍👏
I get so nervous every time I see Momma Dalila climbing so high but she is careful and baby Makongo is in tune with her movement and is aware of what he can and can't do in a particular spot and that makes me feel better. Thank you for the wonderful video update!
I’m so glad you liked the video! I was also really worried the first time I saw Dalila take Makongo up to a high place, but later I realized Dalila is amazing. She held the baby tightly, and Makongo seemed to understand what they were doing. He clung to Dalila’s fur with all his strength, like a little suction cup! 🤣🤣🤣
Mosi was eager to take Makongo out to play, but Dalila didn’t agree. 😂😂😂 It reminds me of when I was a kid, and my best friend would ask me to go out and play, but my mom would make me finish my homework first before I could go.🤣🤣
🤣🤣 ah yes the good times when we didn’t understand the need for such pesky things. I also love when Dalia was eating her snacks you could see her body was moving with vocalizations “don’t touch my food” 🤣me when I’m hangry and finally eating @AllThingsGorilla
I just found this channel & what a beautiful little boy he is! I am just wondering what happened with his mother. Did she reject him or pass away?? He looks like he has a good adopted mother to protect, teach, & care for him which is great. Awesome video thank you!!❤❤
Baby Makongo’s mother, Tamidol, passed away due to illness on August 12th this year. Since then, Queen Dalila has taken on the responsibility of raising Baby Makongo as his foster mother.
@@AllThingsGorilla That's so sad but thank you for telling me. Was his mother part of that troop or did he come from a different group/zoo? I'm glad he found a good adopted Mommy!❤❤❤
In the troop, it seems like only Zola is more aggressive in trying to take Makongo. Mosi and Nala usually sit by Dalila for a long time, seemingly waiting for her permission. However, Zola is more straightforward, which often makes her seem less nice. But in reality, she is very gentle too. When she can’t get to Makongo, she cuddles the little mangabey instead, because she loves Makongo deeply-she just doesn’t know how to express it well.
@@AllThingsGorillaAre we sure that Zola is not pregnant? She has baby fever and so does Nala. Have the keepers said anything about a breeding recommendation?
Is there a reason the zoo keepers can’t separate Dalila and Makongo during feeding. Dalila struggles to eat without worrying about Makongo getting kidnapped. It is only for a short time. Love them so much 💕🙏
Makongo esta cada dia mais fofo, lindo, ele tem o amor e a proteção de Dalila. Eu entendo Mosi, ele também quer estar perto do lindo bebê Makongo, é uma fase especial para a família, um bebê sempre leva alegria, encanto para a família. Nunca vou me conformar com a perversidade que fizeram com Mosi e Loango, espero que essas pessoas que fizeram isso pague em dobro pelo mal que fizeram a dois gorilas inocentes e em extinção.
I bet if Delila was 10 years younger that one female who is so disrespectful would be put in her place. Thank you for the video. The baby is so darn cute I watch the video twice lol
@chaotic_gamer1642 😍😍Thank you for liking this video! Despite not being young anymore, Dalila is still the alpha female of the troop. No one can mess with her😘👸🦍💪.
SERÍA FENOMENAL QUE DEJARAN MAS TIEMPO SEPARADA A DALILA Y A MAKONGO DEL GRUPO PARA QUE EL BEBE PUEDA JUGAR Y TENER MAS ACTIVIDAD COMO UN GORILITA DE SU EDAD, PERO PASA MUCHO TIEMPO SEDENTARIO, POR CAUSA DE ZOLA Y MOSI.
🤣🤣🤣Everyone might be worried that Zola could harm Dalila or even the baby, especially since Dalila was on the frame at the time, which looked quite dangerous.
@EmmaDee While baby M was nursing, Dalila was quietly waiting nearby. That piece of vegetable was specially prepared for Dalila. Later, baby M received a carrot 🥕 as well. Of course, this isn’t all the food they get-it just wasn’t shown in the video. Don’t worry, they’re being well-fed and taken care of!
It’s my opinion: ~ I don’t like this space as it seems so small and another type of animal sharing the space can be overwhelming. In the wild it would not be like this…….I hate that for human’s pastime, for their joy zoos were created…….all about money right~
Love how he just crawls right up to his bottle. He’s knows what time it is. 🥰❤️❤️
I love that Momma Delila has stepped in to care for baby Makongo ❤ she's been very protective and loving of him and it's beautiful watching them together.
😍😍🦍👸👏👏😘👶♥️ Dalila is the best foster mom, and Makongo is the cutest baby.
Queen dalila is very beautiful gorilla. My favorites are Freddy, Dalila, Genki and Nene. I watch a lot of troops. ❤️❤️
And shabani and kiyomasa too😊
🤝🤝👍👸🦍♥️♥️🙌
Thank you for giving us every moment of Mokongo's life, whom I love deeply.❤❤❤❤
🤝🤝😘👶🦍♥️🙌
She is so good to him! And he’s given her a whole new reason for living, a new lease on life ❤️❤️
🤝🤝♥️👸😘🦍👶 Agreed

When Makongo looks down from up above, his little eyes are like saucers Lol! Like he realizes just how long a fall would be.
😂😂😂😍😘👶🦍👍

Thank you 😊♥️👶🦍🙌🙌
Looks to me like Dalila spends most of her time trying to keep Makongo safe from the others.
Dalila has always remained very cautious because the young gorillas are constantly trying to take the baby away from her.
It's easy to forget but even in her old age Dalila is bigger than all the other females in this group, she still has her status as an alpha female and is the only one in this group to stare straight into the silverbacks's eyes(a no no for gorillas)

@@AllThingsGorilla Yes, he does have a tight grip! 🤣I was hoping we would get that customary close-up of baby Makongo but oh well maybe next time. 🥰
Having prehensile feet helps. I have days when I wish my feet were prehensile.
Thankyou so much for the updates on Makongo and Delila. I love to see how the little one is doing. 💛💛
🤝🤝🤝♥️🦍👶👸👏👏
Dalila genki Nene Koko are love 😊
And Fredi
yes 🙌 They are all great ladies ♥️
Thank you for your beautiful footage with my morning coffee. Makongo has a very special playmate waiting for him in Mosi ❤️🦍🦍

1:13 how cute! He’s petting and loving on her ☺️
Yes 🙌 Makongo is so cute and beautiful 😍👶🦍😘♥️
Thanks for sharing this video. I must say it scares me that Mokongo is high up.
🤣🤣🤣 Don’t worry, Makongo has always been in Dalila’s arms. When he’s full and looking down from the frame, Dalila is right there by his side.
That little face ❤
So cute 😘👶🦍♥️
@@AllThingsGorilla ❤️🦍
The baby is so cute!
Agreed🤝🤝😘👶🦍♥️♥️
So incredibly precious...It looks like Dalila is left handed!
The majority of primate mothers (including humans) hold babies in the left arm and babies tend to nurse on the left side of their mothers.
😊😊😊😘👸🦍♥️🤝

When Makongo is eating, Dalila always stays by his side to prevent other gorillas from disturbing the baby while nursing.
Thanks for sharing; love the updates🥰

@@AllThingsGorillaThere’s a pages long discussion about the decision on Zoochat. Have you ever hung out on there?
@@SPMarti-69hi, where is zoochat? I’d love to join too.
I bet if Delila was 10 years younger that one female who is so disrespectful would be put in her place.
Thank you for the video. The baby is so darn cute I watch the video twice lol

😂😂😂 You’ve got a point! But separating them from the troop isn’t really practical. I believe they’ll figure out their own way to handle things.
Thank you for the update! 🙂

Hi! Mother Familia🦍🌹 and baby Makongo
🕯️🐒🧸♥️

♥️👶🦍😘😘👏👸🦍🙌🙌
I hope this zoo doesn’t intend to castrate Makongo..
I haven’t heard any information about this matter.
Bonjour 🤗
Question : Dalila c'est qui par rapport au reste de la famille ?
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Adorable Mosi 🥰
Dalila n’a aucun lien de parenté avec eux, mais elle a vu Mosi, Zola et Nana grandir depuis qu’ils étaient bébés.😘😘
@@AllThingsGorillaOlá Dalilah amamenta o bebê???😮
Why is this so much hate for Zola in the comments? She didn’t even do anything wrong.😔
🤣🤣🤣Everyone might be worried that Zola could harm Dalila or even the baby, especially since Dalila was on the frame at the time, which looked quite dangerous.
She is disrespectful to Dalila. It’s not personal it’s an observation of gorilla behavior. Although primates are primates and we love a soap opera! ❤
Looks like baby can hardly eat snacks for mom pushing him away. How is he able to eat any solids?
@EmmaDee While baby M was nursing, Dalila was quietly waiting nearby. That piece of vegetable was specially prepared for Dalila. Later, baby M received a carrot 🥕 as well. Of course, this isn’t all the food they get-it just wasn’t shown in the video. Don’t worry, they’re being well-fed and taken care of!
What are those monkeys?
Mangabeys
These mangabeys have always lived together with the gorillas in the enclosure.
Why is Makongo not Delila corrects baby 😢
I don’t know either🤷♀️
Zoo should shift nala and zola to ngoro or lengai group if not for lomako.
🤣🤣🤣If that’s the case, Nala and Zola might spark a conflict among those young males.
I wish they would give her some lower accommodations 😢
Dalila can choose to stay below or above the frame; there are six such rooms, and she has the freedom to choose.🤝🤝♥️🦍👸💪
Notice around the 5:99 mark, does this look like a baby ready to be snatched by a rowdy male as a toy gorilla? Don’t look like it to me.
@EmmaDee If the other gorillas were in the room, they would have definitely taken him away without hesitation 😂😂😂
It’s my opinion:
~ I don’t like this space as it seems so small and another type of animal sharing the space can be overwhelming. In the wild it would not be like this…….I hate that for human’s pastime, for their joy zoos were created…….all about money right~
🥲🥲🥲
Queen dalila is very beautiful gorilla. My favorites are Freddy, Dalila, Genki and Nene. I watch a lot of troops. ❤️❤️
🤝🤝Yes, they are all amazing old girls.♥️🦍👏👏👍
