- 🦍*Gorilla-Approved: Shufai's Test of Twycross Zoo's New Board highlights Shufai the gorilla testing a new platform.* • Gorilla #shorts
The Twycross Zoo gorillas have a new board on the platform, and Shufai is putting it through its paces. First, he sits on the pole, contemplating his testing procedure. A knock here, a slide there-yep, you can slide on it now, which is a bonus since that wasn’t possible before. Next up, a back wiggle slide and a hop-rolling is now on the menu too. Shufai dismounts but is soon back for more. He tests the chest beat jump and slide-yep, solid. What about a hop, bend down, and fall to the ground? Yep, that works as well, but to be thorough, he repeats the hop and fall. Finally, a last pat, a seal of approval. Gorilla-approved: Shufai's test of Twycross Zoo's new board is complete. Let's see how long it lasts.
Although Shufai enjoyed trying out this makeshift board, I would have preferred to see the new enrichment structure planned last year. Not sure what happened to that idea.
Corrections:.
0:21 Update: They have since finished the platform with new logs on top of the plywood. They also now have a little suspension bridge. The old hammock from inside is now outside, and there is a new braided hose hammock outside.

The platform has since been finished with logs on top! Lope and Shufai's one of the last plays together they had: th-cam.com/video/QPGbzML3_8s/w-d-xo.html
Shufai is almost as goofy as Lope was
Looks like the platform passes the “Shufai test.”🇺🇸❤️👏
Quality control inspector at work!
Yes, I was there when he came out to test the final log flooring too, little tyke really gave the temporary board some testing!
I'm glad they didn't leave it like this, it wouldn't have lasted much longer with his testing skills😂. If you are there today, you probably see the new bridge and braided hose hammock as well. Hopefully they raised it a little as it was near the grass and not very stable.
@@SloggerVlogger not there today so that's something to investigate next time - yes he jumped up and down on the new logs too but they seem pretty solid! 😄
Oh Shufai you have me laughing so hard. I think the new board has surpassed you test.
Looks like you had a great time too!
Thanks SV. What a great n funny video. Awesome!😊
He completed all the moves he could possibly use on it😂 was like an ad on tv when they ‘demonstrate’ how a product is tested to see how strong and durable it is. He even knocked on it using his knuckles! Classic 😂 omg.
😂😂
Quality control inspector! I follow a chimpanzee sanctuary, and this, along with whacking snakes with troll dolls, is Foxie's job. She's suspicious of anything new
@@LindaC616 yes, 😂quality control inspector omg. Foxy is where? She sounds like quiet character. 🐍.
To: @lilliankeane5731 - Foxie resides at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. Foxie is a beautiful soul although the back--story to the troll dolls is as nauseating as it is heart-breaking.
@lilliankeane5731 hi, sorry, I didn't get a noti for your comment. She is indeed something.
Here she is 13 yrs ago, with a new bench in a since-then updated playroom. As per usual, doll in hand. They just discovered shortly after she arrived 16 yrs ago that she likes to have a doll with her at all times, although why is something only she knows: preferences are trolls, Dora and friends, Starwberry Shortcake and friends, and now Ariel (I think non-plastic hair is required to qualify😄)

Awww Shufai has grown so much. At least he's able to amuse himself with the platform without big brother to play with. I wish I could see the two boys goofing around together again!
Shufai is putting that new board to the test !! He is a clever and creative tester 😉😃🦍
Ha ha ha 😂😂😂😂 the thumb nail!
It's like he was sent in there to do an official quality check! Lol Sweet Shufai!❤
He is so much like his brother!!! I love that they have similar personalities!♥️♥️♥️
That was a thorough inspection.
He definitely knows how to entertain himself
Lope always appeared more 'square-shouldered' than Shufai but it may be that Shufai's trapezium muscles are more developed. He does however, apart from his 'little paunch' seem more 'barrel-chested' and has well developed upper-arms.
What a great catch! Lol he loves it! I hope he doesn’t get a splinter! 😃
Very thorough building inspection 🧐
Qué regalo al alma es verlos contentos, disfrutando!!! Son de las cosas más heermosas de la creación !
A definite winner 😊😊❤
He is from the Quality Control dept😊
That looks like a fun board!
Shufai Tested And Mother Approved 😂😂😂😂
Saber jugar es un privilegio de los seres superiores, los animales son perfectos ❤
To cute!!
Shufai misses playing with big bro Lope. He looks bored 😢
He could definitely do with a younger company.
Het platform heeft de “Shufai test” doorstaan 🤣🤣💓💓‼️ Het is een vrolijk mannetje 💖❤️❤️‼️ Toch vind ik hem er wat eenzaam uitzien 🤷🏼♀️‼️ Dank want het is een enige opname 👍🏻👍🏻🙋♀️🙋♀️ 1:57
Yes he could do with a playmate.
Hilarious love his test moves, yep it passed
Just noted how gray Shufai is especially his right leg.maybe he inherited that from Grandma Biddy?😃😄😁
That would make sense😁 and the other grey hairs probably left over from his brother. 😂
Einfach herrlich.🥰
HI SV Thanks for sharing Shufai's testing of the board. I've a question, When u say Lope and Shufai's uncle, the late Ambam. How exactly is he related to them in what way. Ozala's or Oumbi's
It's Oumbi's half-brother from his dad's side.
@@SloggerVlogger oh ok.. Thanks so much for the reply. Looking at Shufai, I feel so sad for him. He can't father a child forever. He'll be just like that till he dies.
Did anybody ever thought of giving them a trampoline
I wonder what they would do😁. It would need to be gorilla proof.
@@SloggerVlogger there is a brand called Gorilla sport. They have gorilla trampolines for people. Maybe they can also make one for gorillas?
@@SloggerVlogger I’ve sent them an email. Who knows 😀
@jannetteberends8730 brilliant, what a great Idea. I just had a look at their website. Unfortunately no UK site , but I might send them an email anyway as well. Like you said, you'll never know.
What a cutie!
Wowww🔥😍😍😍😍😍
Hilarious 😂
Looks like Shafia gave it a thumbs for safety. 😂 make me sad to see Shafia without Lope. He needs a playmate.
I can't stop thinking about the gorillas from the ZooParc de Beauval, how much fun they have with so many youngsters. I do wish Shufai had that as well. Shufai really does need a buddy.
Rascal approved!!😂
That's the one. Hi Lynn, good to see you. Hope you're doing OK.
@@SloggerVlogger doing well.stayin cool.111°this wk here inPhx.ugh.its our summer but dec-April are incredible weather we wait for.opposite of the UK.Hope you are doing well too.😉👯🦍🐇
Yep all good here. That is some temperature 😲. How do you cope in such a heat? Luckily a more bearable 24-26 degrees here at the moment and next week back down to 20. My perfect temperature 😁.
I get everything done early.grateful for AC.been watching old movies from the 30s,40s and 50s!!!📽🎬🎞
@lynngold1865 AC is a blessing at times like that. Have a wonderful rest of the week and enjoy those movies. 😊
Actually I would test it too because the boards look loose, it’s a pinching hazard.
As I wrote in the description they have actually finished the board now and it's proper logs on there now. Which are really sturdy.
@@SloggerVlogger the gorilla’s got more sense than the people doing the thing. Why was the animal allowed to get on the platform when it wasn’t secured properly. It’s not about reading description for all I know you edited it after my comment! If that was my video I wouldn’t have uploaded because I could see it would trigger animal lovers for the wrong reasons.
I show how things are and not how they should be. I wasn't happy with the board either, certainly not long term and voiced this. The board itself looked secure enough for the time being and Shufai enjoyed himself testing it. We know now that that was just temporary and they've got a proper logs on top now. Most the staff don't get the time to do the whole work in one go as the gorillas get agitated when those doors stay closed for too long. So they probably did this in two stages, but it didn't mean it wasn't secure in the mean time.
@@SloggerVlogger ok 👍
I Miss Lope and I know Shufa misses his Big Brother too I don't like the New place where Lope is now Those Chimpanzees ther are very Violent
Hi. Yes I do believe Shufai is missing his big bro as well. He really could do with someone younger in the troop. I didn't get to see much of the Chimpanzees, who weren't close to the Gorillas. Chimps are definitely not as calm as Gorillas are. I thought the zoo was OK, but it's a shame Lope is so far away. What didn't you like about the zoo, was it just the Chimps?
Just goes to prove how bored they get and get excited about something new. Poor animals.
So, did they castrate Shufai? I really hope it's just a rumor 😢
Sadly this is true.
@@SloggerVlogger Why?
@lemardyc It was said that European breeding program made this decision as they were too many male gorillas born and not enough space to house them.
@SloggerVlogger That is so sad . So, in all the Zoo's or sanctuaries in the world,they can't even find a bachelor troop to send them to. Why don't ALL the countries start building more space. All the money out there, I mean, come on. UAE has enough money to build many places in every country.
@@SloggerVlogger This is hitting me hard. Such gorgeous and spirited genes in this family.
Well hello there, Shufai! Holding down the fort I see. 🖤🩶
