Busted Jim Tries to Get Away After Stealing Food from Sprout

*Sneaky Jim steals Sprout’s food, leading to a playful tumble down the concrete ramp at Dudley Zoo while young Joe jumps in to help.* https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLSCNlwEYCcyE?sbp=QAE%3D

On the other side of the enclosure, I spotted Jim sneakily snatching a bit of food right off Sprout. Seconds later, they both came down towards where I was standing, where I was able to film through the fence. Jim climbed up the mesh, right near where the keepers stand for health checks and feeding time, but Sprout wasn’t letting him off that easily. She pulled him right down, sending them both rolling two steps down over the concrete walls.
They had a proper wrestle down at the bottom, and that was the cue for her young son Joe to join in. He tried his best to help Jim by leaping straight onto his mum’s back and giving her a bit of a wrestle, though he soon realised he was outmatched, gave up, and left the two of them to sort it out. Jim managed to get away to see what his dad was up to, leaving Sprout to enjoy a gentle play with Joe before she showed off her new minimalistic look in the new wig.

Jaw Dropping Strength as Jambo the Chimpanzee Cracks Open Tough Treats

*Watch Jambo the hairless chimpanzee at Twycross Zoo use his incredible strength to crack open tough treat toys and search for hidden seeds.*
Jambo, the hairless chimpanzee from Twycross Zoo, has some brilliant treats in store today! Feast your eyes on a log filled with primate biscuit paste and a special treat ball with nuts. Honestly, it is absolutely amazing how he can open them using nothing but his teeth. It just goes to show you the sheer, jaw-dropping strength these incredible animals have!
He also got a hessian sack with some seed inside and walnuts, covered with wood wool, just so he needs to search a little bit harder to find them. It is fantastic for keeping him occupied and active. Don’t forget to drop your thoughts!
This is an older video I haven’t released before from May 2026

Ozala Gets Frustrated During Zoo Routine Cleaning

*Gorilla Ozala shows her frustration during cleaning routine at Twycross Zoo before young Aarde and Shufai enjoy a playful wrestle right in front of me.*
Gorilla Shufai and Aarde are right by the door, sharing such a sweet interaction together. Shufai and Aarde went inside as Oumbi and Shanga came outside. Then Aarde came out on his own with a snack and climbed straight up the climbing frame. I always think he looks like he has been there all his life, he just seems so comfortable with it all.

Inside, Ozala is waiting with her son Shufai to go into the backroom so keepers can clean the main area. They used to lock them outdoors, but maybe it got too rowdy and that is why they are all separated in the back rooms now for cleaning. Ozala normally does go through the door she is waiting for, but I am not sure if a keeper is telling her on the other side that it is not her time to go in.
Anyway, she backs up and Shanga is on the other side. The door shuts again and that makes her frustrated, so she charges across the room! She goes back to the shut door, it opens again with little Aarde playing up on the right. Then everything moves pretty fast. Ozala charges at Aarde as he was trying to get closer. While Ozala was charging, Shanga quickly went into the door. The keepers were closing the door again but left it open a bit so Aarde could squeeze through. Ozala and Shufai went through as well.
After it is all clean again, Shanga and Aarde come out first. Aarde and Shufai then have a wrestle right in front of me!

Gorilla Aarde’s Close Ups On The Hammock

*🌿🦍Watch gorilla Aarde climb high into his hammock for close-ups while Ozala pushes Shufai inside for snack time at Twycross Zoo!*
Gorilla Shufai and Aarde are wrestling right behind big Oumbi. Then they move off to the back, coming out of the other door, but I temporarily lose sight of them as they head into the corner and round the back.

Aarde uses the huge pipe to climb right up into the hammock, giving me a fantastic chance to get some amazing close-ups. It is backroom time now so the front area can be cleaned, and as they are always super eager to head in there, I think they probably get a few cheeky snacks too! Ozala is caught waiting for Shufai to go in first, and she literally pushes him in there as if to say, “Finally! Don’t keep me waiting out here so long.”

Fascinating Orangutan Eye Contact Just Two Metres Away

🦧 Get up close with cheeky orangutan Jim and Joe at Dudley Zoo as they hide in the shade to beat the heat.

Youngster Joe is right by the fence where it is not quite as hot, happily tucking into a green leaf. Mischievous Jim is close by as well, looking directly towards me with those cute little dark eyes. Who could resist? The female orangutans are going to go wild over him when he comes of age.😄

🌿Hopefully, we’ll get another full four years with the youngsters, as they stop nursing around the age of eight, and dad Djimat will most likely see Jim and Joe as competition by then. Jazz is looking beautiful nearby, although her eyes were a bit glassy today. I do hope she is doing OK, she does seems fine otherwise. Jim takes a quick look at what dad Djimat is up to before moving on.

🌿Then we see Joe nursing from Jazz, who is both his mum and his grandma. These two have quite the remarkable story. They are not twins, but super mum Jazz at Dudley Zoo stepped in when her daughter Sprout found first-time motherhood challenging. When Sprout walked away, Jazz picked baby Joe up straight away. She has been nursing both her own boy Jim (born 25 June 2022) and Joe (born 23 July 2022) ever since, giving both total love, care, and attention.

Flanged male Djimat is dad to both, and now that the boys are four years old, Jazz has done a superb job, while Sprout is getting much better with her son too. I show updates of this wonderful family every Wednesday.

Chimpanzee Tuli strikes a high pole Titanic pose

*🌿Tuli strikes a high-pole Titanic pose while Alpha Jambo enjoys broccoli, alongside a heartfelt look at this close-knit, shrinking group*
https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLTxgJCfavUV8?sbp=QAE%3D

Chimpanzee Tuli is busy doing her best Titanic impression right on top of the high pole at Twycross Zoo, and she looks absolutely magnificent up there. Down below during feeding time, our alpha Jambo got himself a nice broccoli treat, looking as pleased as can be.

There are some really close-up footage of the handsome alpha of this ever-shrinking group. Jambo is now together with only his girls Josie, Victoria, and Tuli. It is so incredibly difficult when you follow these beautiful animals for such a long time, and then as they age, it gets hard when they are not there with us anymore. They truly become a huge part of my world, and I know they are a massive part of yours too.

Persistent Young Gorilla Aarde Steals Treats From Others

🌿🦍Young gorilla Aarde comes over to see what mum Shanga is doing while she gets her food out of the Kong toy. Aarde tries to get it off her, and although she puts up a little resistance, she eventually lets him have it. But persistent little Aarde isn’t done yet!

Over with Asante, she has her Kong toy and is actually using a tool with it as well. Isn’t it wonderful to see her enjoying something like this out in the open? She used to just grab her food and run inside to hide on the top bunk away from everyone else, but now she openly sits back and enjoys her treat.

Shufai comes over to have a look but lets her eat, unlike Aarde who is so persistent that he eventually gets her treat as well, right after taking his mum’s! Meanwhile, Silverback Oumbi gets his stash of browse and heads straight back inside. Aarde and Shanga want to go inside too, but keep changing their mind about which door to use, perhaps because Ozala is sitting a bit too close to one of them.

Shufai Throws Cabbage right Before Asante Charges Aarde

*Shufai throws cabbage right before Asante charges Aarde at Twycross Zoo*
Shufai comes storming out, right past Asante who still has her fleece towel she had a few days ago. He slides down the slope, but that side of the slope always gives him a bit of trouble. He overshoots a bit and lands with his bum right on the edge at the bottom of the slope.

He walks back up and throws the cabbage, but what surprises me is Asante suddenly running and pushing Aarde while running down the hill. Shanga, Aarde’s mum, charges down next to Asante. Asante has been so protective with little Aarde over the last few weeks, so I am not sure why she did that.

Aarde is the best, he comes running with the towel swinging it all over. Aarde puts the towel around his neck when Shufai charges at him again. You can just see in the corner through the reflection Shanga coming in from the right at Shufai.

Ozala is up the top behind the spider net. When they are all back up the top, there is that tension again in the troop. The question is just who charges first. Ozala and Shufai looked like they were going to charge, but as Shanga left, it dispersed and Aarde and Asante left between Shufai and Ozala. Oumbi was by the door, probably waiting somewhere just in case something kicked off.

Jim’s Play Time With Dad Gets Interrupted by A Bossy Sprout at Dudley Zoo Ep 5/5

*Bossy Sprout charges in to interrupt cheeky orangutan Jim playing with dad Djimat, leading to hilarious brotherly comedy with Joe at Dudley Zoo.*
This is the last part of this mini-series with Dudley orangutans Jim and Joe and their dad Djimat from Dudley Zoo. If you haven’t seen the other parts you can catch up on the full playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLSCNlwEYCcyE?sbp=QAE%3D

Djimat’s teeth are quite impressive, which makes it even greater to see how gently he handles a playful, cheeky son. As Jim plays with dad, suddenly Sprout comes into the picture. She charges Jim and runs after him, grabbing him firmly. She has obviously seen enough and puts a stop to it! She is not as gentle as big Djimat, really pulling his leg, but don’t forget they are much more flexible than us, so it looks worse than it actually is.

When Jim gets away, he thumps the ground with his hands right in front of her like he is giving her a proper telling off. Jim then goes on to play with Joe and those two are so hilarious together. Jim moves near Sprout, but what he does to move away from her is comedy gold, and then Joe matches the humour with his sudden fall. If you are missing Jazz, do not worry! She is completely fine, just eating happily at the other end of the habitat and letting them all get on with it.

Mandy Goes Fishing Before Tearing Into Her Next Project

*🌿🦍 Mandy the chimpanzee at Chester Zoo goes from fishing in the moat to some heavy-duty DIY. Watch this clever chimp tackle her latest project.*
🌲Mandy the chimp at Chester Zoo is a bit of a character. She can be a rather nervous soul who likes to scream, but today she is showing off her clever side. You might notice that thick green carpet on the water. It is a natural algae bloom that thrives in the summer sunlight! While a bit of algae shows the moat has a functioning pond ecosystem, it requires careful management. If it grows too thick, it can throw the water’s oxygen levels out of balance and block the view of the water’s depth, which is why animal care teams monitor these blooms closely to keep the habitat perfectly balanced for everyone. Mandy knows exactly how to navigate it. She is using a stick with such precision to fish out a hidden leaf that it is genuinely brilliant to watch. It is fascinating to see her focus through that green carpet to get exactly what she wants.
🌲Things get even better when she finds some discarded food. It has gone stone hard, but she is kind enough to offer it to me. Thanks Mandy, but I will pass on that one! She is not done there, though. Mandy is a girl who loves to dig and pull, and today she is treating the place like a construction site. She pulls up what looks like a foundation brick and then in a different area has a real go at an entire corner of grass growing over the concrete picking it up like it was a carpet. It is brilliant to see her exploring her island like this. You really get a sense of how intelligent these great apes are when they get into a project.
