Twycross Gorillas Pumpkin Feast Before Troop Dynamics Changed Forever

*🎃Unseen footage of the Twycross Zoo gorilla troop enjoying Halloween pumpkins before new arrivals changed their world.*
Can you believe it’s already October? Halloween is back this month, and I’m sharing some unseen footage from the Twycross Zoo Gorilla Troop getting their pumpkins. This footage is from last year, as they normally get the pumpkins after Halloween when the zoo clears all the decorations. So there’s no Aarde or Shanga in this video!

You’ll see Ozala enjoying her pumpkin with zero worries about Shanga or Aarde yet. If only they all knew what was to come with the newcomers joining them the following year.

They were given entire pumpkins to enjoy, along with pumpkin mash spread on the climbing frame and inside the Kong toys. That’s exactly why Shufai went straight for the Kongs first. Why go through all the effort of opening a whole pumpkin when you can just stick your finger into a Kong to scoop out that sweet pumpkin flesh? Smart lad!

Hilarious Gorilla Door Games with Gorilla Shufai and Gorilla Aarde

*Gorilla Shufai and Gorilla Aarde bring high energy antics, funny door games, and chest beating to Twycross Zoo*
Gorilla Shufai and Gorilla Aarde are back at their favourite door at Twycross Zoo with their funny shenanigans. There is high energy moving up and down the platform and round and round, with only a quick pee stop for Aarde. Shortly after, Aarde is back by the door, beating his chest with that classic gorilla sound, wanting Shufai to come after him and play. Hilarious Gorilla Door Games with Gorilla Shufai and Gorilla Aarde. Gorilla Shufai and Gorilla Aarde bring high energy antics, funny door games, and chest beating back to Twycross Zoo. It really doesn’t take long before some more door playful actions start up again.

Sprout Demonstrates Incredible Problem Solving Skills

*Sprout the clever orangutan uses incredible problem-solving skills and tool crafting to outsmart a tricky fence barrier at Dudley Zoo.*
Orangutan intelligence is simply amazing. Especially Sprout, she always tries to work things out, and she has done this from a young age.

There are primate biscuits sitting between the wires, though I am not sure why they ended up there. They were probably thrown in by the keeper and took a wrong landing. She goes to find a stick, but cannot find one, so she goes over to the climbing frame and actually pulls a bit off there!

She keeps looking and decides that one is no good, so she discards it and comes back with something way too soft. Still thinking, she is off again and has now found a better stick. She has got another option there as well, but has to remove the branches from the stick first.

She moves the biscuit into position away from the wires. When that alone does not work, she starts blowing the biscuit away from the electric wire! Fantastic work again from Sprout.
Did you hear the Cameron sheep? They are the Orangutan neighbours.

Chimp Tantrum Alert Carlos Goes Wild On 12 Metre Poles

*🌿Chimpanzee Carlos throws a massive high-pole tantrum at Chester Zoo after the incredibly quick Stevie outruns his chase.*
Young Stevie found herself being pursued by Carlos. Luckily for her, she is just too quick, leaving Carlos to give up the chase entirely.

🌿Not handling the defeat lightly, Carlos goes absolutely wild on the 10 to 12 metre poles, screaming, hooting, and throwing himself into full swings. Annie passes right by Carlos while he is having his moment, which seems to embolden Stevie to get closer to him again and start screaming right back. Carlos checks out Stevie and things quite down. Later on the ground interactions between Annie and Carlos, followed by Dylan and Annie.

Little Aarde Beats His Chest Before Cosy Nest Time With Mum Shanga

*Gorilla sound and chest beating as energetic little Aarde plays with Shufai at Twycross Zoo before cosy nest grooming with Mum Shanga.*
Gorilla Shufai and little Aarde absolutely love playing near that door, with Aarde beating the wall and his chest. He has got so much energy! Later in the afternoon, little Aarde is lying with Mum Shanga in the nest while she gently grooms her son. Aarde sits right at the window with Asante being on the other end of the window. Meanwhile, Shufai was outside and ripped out a huge bunch of grass to take inside with him, though unfortunately it was a bit too busy for me to get back inside to catch the rest.

Gorilla Hasani Ducking and Diving Bristol Zoo

*Hasani ducks and dives at food throwing time, Silverback Nkoumou dines, and Kala gets special treats at Bristol Zoo Project.*
Hasani is always so funny with his ducking and diving at food throwing time. I always love seeing the gorillas at Bristol Zoo Project getting such a nice variety of their favourite food. Tomatoes, peppers, and carrots are all very popular.

Kala was absent at feeding time today. It is very likely they did some more training with her and Silverback Nkoumou. Kala didn’t miss out on food, though, as she got a lovely selection of veg afterwards, with lettuce and tomatoes seeming her favourite.

A quick pan at the end shows all the wild greenery. They still love to climb the trees, even if the branches look a bit battered. The trees you can see on the other side of the big green wall are an area they can access now as well!

Gorilla Shufai Blocks The Door As Cheeky Aarde Keeps Playing

*Gorilla Shufai joins in as cheeky little Aarde bursts out ready to play, clowning around before throwing his snack ball at Twycross Zoo.*
Gorilla Shufai and little Aarde absolutely love playing near that door, with Aarde beating the wall and his chest. He has got so much energy! Later in the afternoon, little Aarde is lying with Mum Shanga in the nest while she gently grooms her son. I managed to get some lovely close-up footage of Aarde, and when browse is served, Aarde sits right at the window, joined by Asante. Meanwhile, Shufai was outside and ripped out a huge bunch of grass to take inside with him, though unfortunately it was a bit too busy for me to get back inside to catch the rest.

How Orangutans Safely Eat Stinging Nettles

*🌿🦧Jazz enjoys shaded clover at Dudley Zoo before eating stinging nettles, leaving some for Jim to snatch in this sweet orangutan moment.*

Jazz sitting amongst the clovers at Dudley Zoo. There is not a lot of green left in their habitat as lots has dried out from the heatwaves, but there is still a little patch resting safely in the shade.

Jazz is eating a stinging nettle when Jim comes to have a look. He takes what Jazz has left. Pushing or pinching upward flattens the needles and you do not get stung. Apparently humans could do that too without getting stung, but I am definitely not going to try lol.

Looking at his teeth, you might think he has bad gums, but that is not the case at all. This is actually pigmentation, his gums are healthy.

The two are so hilarious. If you have a bad day, then Jim and Joe are the best medicine.

#Orangutans #DudleyZoo #WildlifeInspiration

Jim and Joe can definitely cure any bad days. 😄

Things Go Wild And Noisy Before Evening Lockdown

*Lots of Chimpanzee Sounds as the troop gets rowdy and loud before evening feeding. * https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLXC1aShJSBiX6JLJLKGlQXfCSfatYEJLP?sbp=QAE%3D

Chimps get rowdy and energetic before their final evening meal at the zoo. Experience the wild energy of the troop during feeding time today!

Chimpanzee Dylan is screaming at Carlos and then has a go at Eric as well. It always gets a bit rowdy when it is about time to get fed, or in this case, a last evening meal before the visitors leave the zoo. Mandy, like usual, is screaming the loudest.
Alice walks up calmly while Pattie just kicked the door and Dylan comes out and follows her. Chrissie back kicks the metal door while Stevie is hooting and jumping in front of her. Layla is by the back door displaying. That is where lone chimpanzee Nicki is. Mandy is by the door afterwards. Then comes a noisy chimp train as they all run onto the zoo island and back again! Finally, there is Alice checking Dylan and Sally.
