Gorilla Mother's Tough Love Towards Her Baby Daughter

- The usually loving Gorilla mom, Dossi, has been displaying some tough love towards her daughter, Eyare, by pushing her away in various situations. It may appear harsh to us, but it's important to remember that Dossi has shown herself to be a caring and affectionate mother in previous videos, nursing, cuddling, and protecting her daughter from other monkeys.
This behavior is part of the learning process and will likely benefit Eyare as she grows older. It's worth noting that the compilation we see was filmed over a couple of days, so these interactions are not happening constantly.
There are moments when Dossi seems particularly firm with Eyare, especially when food is involved or when she wants some alone time. Despite this treatment, Eyare handles it all in her stride.
Gorilla Dossi, residing at the Calgary Zoo, appears to have a fondness for the window area. She comfortably lies on her back with her feet crossed and one foot against the windowpane. With great interest, she picks up a bucket lid and begins to fill it with wood chips. Curious about her mother's activity, her daughter Eyare approaches, but Dossi doesn't seem too pleased and gives her a gentle push. Eyare steps back, touching her head in response. Although momentarily deterred, she can't resist returning for another look. However, Dossi again uses her finger to push Eyare away. Disheartened, Eyare decides to play on her own while Dossi continues tossing the wood chips.
I also included some close-up shots of Dossi's finger and thumb as she peels off bits from the wood chips.
In the following scene, Eyare finds a stick, but Dossi takes it from her to use it on the food crate, trying to get some food out. Eyare extends her little hand to catch the falling bits, attempting to cuddle with her mom, but unfortunately receives another push. Observing this, one can't help but wish to give Eyare a long and comforting hug. Perhaps this is why Eyare has grown quite independent.
Later, when Dossi obtains a round food puzzle, Eyare is intrigued and comes over to take a look. Unfortunately, she is once again pushed away by her mother's finger on her face. Since the filming of these events, Gorilla baby Okabe was born to mum Yewande, offering a future playmate for baby Eyare.

Sweet Eyare🥰🥰🥰
A bit different behaviour from Genki in the Kyoto Zoo, who is the most loving gorilla mom I have seen.
That was hard to watch
She’s a mean momma.
Awe! That was a little painful to watch. It seems especially cold to just use that one finger to the forehead method. Like, “get away you insignificant little pest.” I agree, I just want to give her the cuddle she wanted from mom. She was “asking” so politely and gently too. 😢
Interesting to see the nails up close. I never realized they were actually black. I just assumed they were clear like ours and looked black because of the skin underneath.
Thankfully moments like these are rare, most of the time Dossi is a great mother to Eyare protecting her and giving her lots of cuddles.
That’s tough love. Mom teaching the baby to have manners
Bless the baby ❤. Just want to be with Mom. Hope the Mom behavior towards her precious baby doesn't continue. the baby needs a good loving mother.
Aww poor baby. 😢❤🦍♥️
It looks to me like mom just wants a little “alone time”
Mom’s teaching her some valuable lessons.♥️
Hard to watch at times but very interesting behavior. We learn more and more as we watch all the gorillas. Thankypu Slogger Vlogger 😊🦍😊
I never know if I should show it or not, but I think it's essential to showcase all aspects of animal behaviour, not just the "good bits." By observing their behaviour in various situations, we gain a deeper understanding of these incredible creatures. Sometimes it can be hard to watch, but that's part of the natural world - the good and the challenging moments alike. I think it's through these observations that we learn valuable insights about gorillas and their complex social dynamics.
I absolutely agree !
Great video thanks for explaining that the events were separate incidents taking place over quite some time
a little rough the mother 😢
Just kicking back throwing woodchips at visitors.
By the look of the baby mom is feeding her but this was kinda mean... I am used to seeing them loving on the babies!
Hermoso video Slogger Blogger, gracias por la opción de traducir al español admiro mucho tu trabajo.❤
Thank you. I'm glad the translation worked for you. As I always translating with google or other, I'm not sure if its correct.
Es correcta , la comprendí bien , muchas gracias Slogger Blogger.
I like Gorillas 🦍🦍🦍
Is she really pregnant with another, God i hope not!! Cause it looks like she can bare stand her current baby....
As I written in the description. These are snippets were filmed from over a couple of days, so these interactions are not happening constantly. She's is a very good loving mum, but just has her moments where she likes her alone time. She isn't pregnant . It's Yewande that was pregnant and now had her baby boy.
Did Ozala ever do this to baby Lope?
I'm sure she didn't but I wasn't there when Lope was a baby, but watching her with Shufai no she was never did anything like that.
omg im sorry but the way she used one finger to push eyare's snout away was so funny!
NO IT IS NOT FUNNY, IT IS SERIOUS. DOSSI IS AFFECTED BY SOME BEHAVIOUR
OF THE OTHER GORILLAS THAT IS DISPLEASING TO HER, MAYBE THE FACT THAT
SHE MUST STEP DOWN NOW THAT YEWANDE HAS FIRST PLACE IN THE GROUP,.
Mum's in a bad mood.
i WONDER IF DOSSI IS FEELING SOMEWHAT DISPROPORTUNATE OR INSIGNIFICANT SINCE
YEWANDE HAD HR SON . MAYBE JASIRI IS PAYING MORE MIND TO YEWANDE AND ZURI.
JUST A FEELING I HAVE. I HOPE ALL TURNS OUT WELL ANYWAY.
Hi @darlingsapphire1 When this was filmed Yewande hasn't had her boy yet. I think she just has her moments where she needs her space. As you might have seen from the other videos, she can be a really good loving mum.
Heuuuuu pas très affectueuse comme maman ! 😮
I think mom is frustated because she is hungry. I dont think it is normal 😢
That's awful. I hope she doesn't act like this towards her baby all the time. 😥
Hi @shellos8 I wrote a little bit in the description of the video, which might make it a bit easier to understand 😊
