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.

Silverback Gorilla Oumbi Rules the Top At Twycross Zoo

*Silverback Gorilla Oumbi sits high at Twycross Zoo as Aarde climbs the hatch and the gorillas rush in for fresh browse.*

Silverback Gorilla Oumbi surprises with a high perch at Twycross Zoo while Aarde spins down below.

I only believe I have ever seen Silverback Gorilla Oumbi about midway up his frame at Twycross Zoo once, so I was not expecting to see him up there at all! To my absolute surprise first thing in the morning, there he was sitting right at the top tucked into his breakfast! He spent time watching the building crane and the builders working away over by the new orangutan habitat. Even though he did not move a whole lot ( makes a change of him barking at the building crane) , taking in the view of him up there was quite something. You could see his gaze drift from completely relaxed to a classic stern gorilla stare, occasionally crossing his feet or shooing away a rogue insect.

Down below, little Aarde was having himself a great time spinning about before joining his mum Ozala by the door. Meanwhile, Ozala stayed relaxed on the other side away from Shanga and Aarde, while Asante was kept back inside while keepers finished up cleaning.

Watching Aarde pull himself up to peek through the keepers hatch brought back memories of Oumbi and Lope taking turns looking through and getting frustrated! But once the keepers were done and laid out fresh browse, the whole family rushed in like there was no tomorrow. I managed to get a lovely close-up of Oumbi’s hand as he sat by the window, while Shanga tore into twig bark with absolute determination!

Goofy Little Gorilla Aarde Shows Off Missing Front Teeth #HappyWorldGorillaDay

*Little Gorilla Aarde checks his new teeth, teases us with a short upright walk, and play fights with Shufai in front of Silverback Oumbi at Twycross Zoo Happy World Gorilla Day everyone!.* Aarde’s famous uncle Silverback Richard

Four year old Aarde sits perched high above Shufai on the climbing frame at Twycross Zoo. Shufai was nine when this was filmed, but he turns 10 today! Aarde jumps down to join him for a proper play fight, and the two young gorillas tumble all the way to the bottom for a good wrestle right in front of 34 year old Silverback Oumbi.

Little Aarde spent some time checking his baby teeth, looking wonderfully goofy with those front teeth missing. If you take a close look, you can see his new front teeth are breaking through. I had to re-watch the footage a few times to check if he actually pulled one of his teeth out, but I reckon it was just a bit of food stuck in there!

It was scatter food day at the zoo, so there was no locking in. The gorillas could stay outside enjoying the fresh air while waiting for their food to be thrown in. I even managed to capture a brilliant little upright walk from Aarde! Listen closely to the background for natural gorilla sound as the group interacts.

When Silverback Oumbi moves down the rocks, Aarde follows closely behind and throws wood wool straight at the big Silverback. Shufai then comes charging out, tackles Aarde, and they get straight back into their play fight. Later on indoors, Aarde has a grand time swinging about while his mum Shanga keeps a watchful eye. Make sure to watch out for Aarde throwing things at Oumbi!

ℹ️🌿🦍 Now for a bit of family history! Did you know Aarde has a famous uncle? It is Silverback Richard who lives at Prague Zoo:

Aarde’s mum is Rebecca from Frankfurt Zoo:

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!
