New Dad's Focus On The Baby Is Tensing Up The Whole Troop | The Lomako’s Group

- As a new father, Lomako is deeply attentive to his first child. When the mother, Tamidol, is with their eldest daughter, Lomako watches them closely. Nala's attempts to get close to the baby are seen as threatening by Lomako. As the shared mother of Nala and the baby, Tamidol must protect Nala from harm from the silverback while also keeping a constant eye on her own baby. Tamidol can only deliberately keep her distance from Nala, protecting both Nala and the baby
In GaiaZOO, a baby gorilla was born on April 9th. This marks the first birth of a gorilla in nearly ten years at the Kerkrade NL, and it's an endangered western lowland gorilla.
The father of this baby gorilla, Lomako, arrived in Kerkrade in the spring of 2022. He took over the leadership role after the passing of Makula, who died in June 2021. This is Lomako's first offspring. As for the mother, Tamidol, this is her second baby.
The baby is a boy👦, his name is Makongo

All was calm, and then this 👉 0:58 happened. Lomako rushed in like ⚡. 😆 Nala was like, "Hey slow down there!" Lomako wasn't subtle when approaching wife Tamidol and baby 💙🍼 Makongo because he was likely uncomfortable with the amount of spectators in the troop surrounding the baby. 🤔 Perhaps one could consider the possibility that Lomako was trying to "clear the area" around Tamidol. Mosi and Nala were perceptive, and moved away. 4:55 🤣 Makongo: What's going on dad? A handsome 😘 silverback keeps order in all aspects pertaining to his troop.
He’s just jealous because abuse any time he tries to get close, mom moves away from him 😂
I’m joking of course. I’m sure you’re right. Although it’s not as though anyone was going to hurt the baby. Mom will cover baby up or move away if she feels the others are getting too close.
🤝🤝🤝Agreed 🦍❤️🫶
@sonyawilson1000 What you said encapsulates the whole story perfectly. 🤝👍👍🫶💗❤️🦍😘🥰
It could be worse, he could be like Haoka, grabbing the baby and running. 🫣🫣
@@lady4vols Haoko "kidnapped" all his children from Momoko simply because he wanted to spend time with them. While they were in his care he was very gentle with them. This situation with Lomako is very much different.
6:09 I swear Nala is smiling at her baby sister. How precious is she. 💜💜
Nala loves the baby dearly, and she also loves her mother. She smiles at the baby and looks at her mother, Tamidol, with the same warmth.♥️😘🦍
Oh my gosh, Nala! What a character she has. I love her.
🤝🤝 Nala is a brave girl 👧. Nala saw all the gorillas surrounding her mom and the baby, and she chose to stand by her mom's side, even though she might also be seen as a threat.💪💪👧😘🫶❤️🦍
It’s amazing whenever dad approaches mom and baby, the gals all gather around to protect momma with her little one!! That’s amazing! ❤
🤝🤝🤝🫶❤️🦍🥰 Thank you for liking the video 🥰
Yes. They all still seem to be figuring out who they can trust; the silverback seems not to trust them near the baby and they don't seem to trust him, either. Maybe it's because he's relatively new to the troop and this is the first baby he's fathered. But a silverback will never deliberately a hurt a baby that's his, or one that he assumes is his. If new moms are cautious about them it's because they don't trust them to be gentle enough with a tiny newborn.
So amazing to watch and learn!! What a wonderful experience.
I'm in love with the whole group!
@NanaVicki1 🫶❤️🥰🦍🤝 Thanks
Great insights regarding their behavior.
🥰🥰😘🫶❤️🦍
This was fascinating!! I felt like I was watching a home movie from way back! All the aunties, moms, sisters of all types very subtly kept watch over the mothers to be and the new mothers while maintaining a magic circle of protection around them, fending off rambunctious children, various pets and insects and the occasional drunken family member 'who just wants to hold the baby'!
Thank you for your description. Your beautiful narration has enriched the content of this video, adding more depth to the story. 👍👍👍💋🫶♥️🦍🤝🤝😘
He’s like if I can’t see it neither can you 😢
🤣🤣🤣🫶❤️🦍
tysm for adding subtitles, explaining what is happening ! Truly appreciated !
🤝🤝🤝 🫡🫡👌🤝♥️🦍💋
The silverback's just trying to do his job and be a good father, not sure yet if he can trust anyone other than the new baby's mother near the baby when it's so small and fragile; the troop will work it all out and start to relax a bit more soon enough.
I agree with what you said🤝🤝. The baby is too small and fragile, and the silverback is doing his job protecting his family😘🥰🫶❤️🦍.
It's a very interesting family, the interactions are not necessarily unique. Nala is very interested in her new baby brother, perhaps she is feeling ready to have one of her own? I'm not sure how old she is, but she's a big healthy girl (no shaming intended) Lomako is curious and protecting everyone. It will be interesting to see him play with his son in the future. Tamidol is a wonderful mum and is doing her best to protect all her babies. Dalila she looked like she's to old for this nonsense. 💖💖🦍
Nala is already 9 years old, and I think she's ready to welcome her own baby in the near future😊. She's curious about baby and really loves him🥰. In the future, she'll definitely be an excellent mother ❤️, just like her mother Tamidol.🫶❤️🦍
There’s a monkey that lives with them in their enclosure? They don’t seem to mind at all.
Yes, they have been living together in peace🤝😊💗💕🫶❤️🦍
Where is the zoo located?
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for liking them 🫶❤️🥰🦍
Remarkable their interactions. ♥️👍

Wat leuk! Kraambezoek😂😍

Absolutely perfect Dad okay now let’s not go to close to the baby back up and give them some space 😅❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣🤣 New dads always get nervous.🫶❤️🦍
😊Their habitat is horrible. They deserve better.
If you need, I can provide you with the zoo's contact information so you can donate to improve their living conditions.
This Zoo has Beautiful looking Gorillas and a shrong Family to.
Is Nala pregnant? This is my first time seeing them. Looking forward to watching them grow.❤
Nala is not pregnant at the moment🥰But I think she should be ready to become a mother in the near future😘😘🫶❤️🦍
Maybe Nalah just wants to love baby also and help mom❤
I think so too 🥰🫶❤️🦍
Bonne soirée et bonne nuit à vous Christine bisous 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Bonne nuit 😴😘 My friend Christine 🫶❤️😘🦍
Those male gorillas that have been castrated really do look pitiful. It's heart breaking to see them but I really think it's important that more people do. Everyone should see these 2 males and often so we all realize what is happening and help stop it.
If it’s for the better of the species….I see nothing wrong with it. They have more than enough breeding males and the neutered males can blend in with the family without fighting with the silverback or attacking the females. I don’t think they look pathetic. I think they’re care free males that no longer have to worry about something they are never going to have or challenging the silverback and getting their butt kicked or worse.
@@laurenurban3942 The only studies done so far on castrating them only shows negative impacts like mood changes, depression, gradual bone-density loss resulting in osteoporosis, weight gain as well as severe heart problems. These males look incredibly small and misshapen and not at all healthy. It's horrible.
That’s the first time I’ve heard anything close to an explanation on why this is done.
@@Judith-p2h It's awful for the poor animal. Out of all the testing they've done on neutered males, all of the side effects are bad. Castrating gorillas causes serious issues with their health mentally and physically. There's lots of all male bachelor groups that are thriving and not being castrated allows them the small hope that one day they will be matched with their own troop. They are endangered so castrating them is ridiculous!
Bonsoir très belle soirée à vous merci pour ces belles vidéos j'aime beaucoup c'est un plaisir de les au revoir
🥰🥰😘🤝🫶❤️🦍 bisous 😘
How old is the new baby?? Silverback eants to see the new member of the troop!! Good sign❤
The baby was born on April 9th and is 45 days old today🥰. New Dad is very protective of the baby, which is a good sign 📶💕. The silverback is protecting his family.💪🫶❤️🦍
Omg! I thought those were cats in there!😊
🤣🤣🤣 🫶❤️🦍
It’s interesting how so different with this troop and DJ troop in Taiwan zoo there DJ would be allowed to look even touch baby without any hassle from the mothers .
In her prime Queen Dalila was an alpha female and a force to be reckoned with when she was at Apenheul Zoo. I was told that she got along well with 🦍 Bongo but when he was replaced by 🦍 Jambo she refused to accept his leadership so was sent here. I was under the impression that Dalila spends most of her time alone so it was nice to see her with the other troop members. My 💔 every time I see Loango and Mosi. 🦍Lomako wasn’t playing around he’s a very protective leader. ❤️🦍
Thank you for sharing information about Dalila💗. Dalila gets along well with the members of this troop, but I often see her alone🥹. She interacts with Lomako and also with Tamidol😘. Loango is more often by himself, and his thin physique makes him look even more pitiful😭. As you said🤝, Lomako always protects the family members and is a protective leader💪💪❤️🫶🦍🥰.
Wow! I just realised that's Dalila ( alpha female from Apenheul zoo) Dear old lady she's has some history, born in the wild in 1972. Mum to the late Gyasi, Grandma to Tayari and Kiango and Great Grandma to toddler Jabali 💖 Love to all Gorilla troops 🦍😍
希望Dalila健康長壽❤
Thank you ☺️ Dalila is the queen gorilla 😘🫶❤️🦍

I just started watching this group and trying to work out who belongs to who except the baby. I follow other groups in different countries ( research ) I have to say the younger ones seem very thin.
Baby's father, Lomako, took over this troop in 2022 after the previous silverback, Makula, passed away in 2021. Both girl gorillas in the group, Zola and Nala, are descendants of Makula. Nala is the daughter of Tamidol and Makula. Mosi is also Makula's son and is Zola's sibling. Loango is Makula's little brother. The thinner male gorillas you see are Loango and Mosi, who were castrated and thus cannot become silverbacks, leading to their thin appearance. Personally, I find castration to be cruel; they could be sent to a bachelor troop, but many people believe separating them from their family would also be cruel (of course, everyone has their own stance). I'm just expressing my perspective.
Now, with Lomako leading the troop, the female gorilla Tamidol has accepted the new silverback, and they have already conceived a baby named Makongo.
I will continue to document Makongo's growth, and if you have any further questions, feel free to leave comments, and I'll respond as soon as possible. Thank you. 🥰🫶❤️🦍
@@AllThingsGorilla I am trying to follow the family tree. Does Mosi have a different mother? I thought the two males being so thin were young but I saw you said one was 19 years old, I was shocked and it's very unusual. The common denominator is Makula ( son and brother ) I think it's a genetic problem only in some males and they would not have castrated them without a very good reason, maybe to stop what ever mutation there is. How old was mosi and loango when they were castrated? If you know.
@lyndamac1058 Mosi and Loango were castrated so that they could continue living with the Makula troop. I'm not sure exactly how old they were when they were castrated, but it usually happens at around 7-9 years old or even younger. I'll need to look up more information to answer you accurately.
@@AllThingsGorilla if that's why they castrated then that's sad but I kind of see why. No other zoo would want to take or exchange them for breeding, they are obviously under developed and I still think it's genetic.
🤝🤝🫶❤️🦍
Yea right the silver back is the reason they all survive in the wild
🤝🤝🫶❤️🥰🦍
Delilah has some kind of growth under her chin. Can see she old girl.❤
The two lumps on Dalila's chin have been there for 10 years and shouldn't affect the old girl's health🙏. God will bless her with health and long life♥️🦍👸💪.
The silverback Lomako isn't looking at Tamidol, Nala or any of the other gorillas...when he comes over he's focused on something outside the windows. At 4.00 he is standing looking through the window, not at another gorilla at all. Same for the two castrated males.
Everyone has different opinions, and I respect yours.🫡
Where is this please?
At Gaia Zoo in the Netherlands🤝🫶❤️🦍
Não entendi , oque houve???
Nala wanted to approach the baby, but New Dad Lomako thought Nala was too close and perceived her as a threat to the baby. He then charged at Nala, causing the troop members to become tense. After that, Lomako kept a close watch on Nala without relaxing for a moment. To protect his daughter from the silverback's threat, Tamidol chose to distance herself from Nala, so Nala stayed away from the baby and wouldn't be seen as a threat by the New Dad.🫶🦍❤️ Tamidol is a great mom 😘💗💕
Oohhh I thought Napa was T’s daughter now I understand why Big Papa was acting proctive
Nala is the daughter of Tamidol and the previous silverback, Makula, so the new silverback, Lomako, is cautious of her.
Does he not know that’s his baby???
Dad knows that's his baby 👶 because it's the silverback's first time being a father. When another gorilla approaches the baby besides the mother, he gets nervous. Just like new human fathers, it's all about protecting the baby out of love for the baby.🫶👶🦍👍♥️
Does a monkey live there also?
Yes; they're mangabeys. Several zoos now house different species together, or at least they share outdoor enclosures, as long as they're safe with each other and don't bother each other. Gorillas are pure herbivores so they don't harm smaller animals. Orangutans as well share outdoor enclosures in some zoos, not only with smaller primates like gibbons or monkeys, but other mammals, like otters. They get along fine. Chimps of course would just catch and eat them, so no "roommates" of different species for them.😂
👍👍🤝🫶❤️🦍
Yes 🙌 "Yes, they have been living together, and many zoos keep them together in peace.
Are they castrating male gorillas at this zoo?
I think this is the zoo that has 2 castrated males. This video showed them briefly, they look so pitiful.
I'm not sure if the castration took place at this zoo😰, but there are two castrated gorillas in this zoo, Loango and Mosi😱😭.
They look bored as hell
😅
Hmm…they look relaxed and are observant of their surroundings and of each other…typical gorilla behavior; not like humans…always have to be doing something, be entertained, or on the go…just a different perspective.
@@luvcats120 Agreed🤝🤝🤝🫶❤️🦍 This is the normal state of gorillas.
