Gorilla Shufai Meets His Match In Little Aarde

*Shufai pulls off a classic floor slide move on newcomer Aarde, sparking an energetic play fight at Twycross Zoo.*
Gorilla Shufai from Twycross Zoo is doing to newcomer Aarde what big brother Lope used to do to him, sliding right across the floor to get closer!
Aarde tries to make a quick escape with his wood wool, but seeing Shufai looking at him gets to him and he storms right over. Next thing you know, they are full-on wrestling on the ground! Little Aarde has so much energy and is definitely not giving up easily, giving us plenty of playful wrestling, biting, pushing, and pulling.

Eventually, Shufai lies back, beats his chest. Aarde then grabs the towel and puts it on, while Silverback Oumbi puts on a quick display, waving some wood wool around to cap off the action.

Aarde and his mum Shanga joined the troop a couple of month back from Chessington World of Adventure. You can find all the videos in the episode guide I’ve done when Aarde was only one year old.

👉 https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLSCNlwEYCcyE?sbp=QAE%3D
Fatherhood is never easy, but Djimat endures absolutely everything young Jim throws at him! Jim climbs right up onto his back, stands tall, and then launches himself off like Djimat is a trampoline. He even steps directly onto his dad’s face to pull himself further up. Jim is truly testing his father’s limits today, but Djimat handles every cheeky moment with pure patience. Come along and join me at Dudley Zoo for another special moment with this wonderful primate family.

Baby Bonobo Biso Jumps Off Mum at Twycross Zoo

* Baby bonobo Biso plays on mum before she goes wild with a cardboard box at Twycross Zoo.* https://youtu.be/la3xklAbSqU

Baby bonobo Biso from Twycross Zoo steps right on mum’s back while she is lying down, then cute as anything, jumps straight off to the ground. Later on, mum does what bonobos just love doing, pushing a cardboard box with serious speed right through their habitat. While mum takes a well-earned rest, little Biso wanders over to have a look at the people at the window.

Shufai Dramatically Throws Towel

*Gorilla Shufai and the towel toss at Twycross Zoo, while Asante tenderly touches baby Aarde tiny toes.*

🌿🦍 Gorilla Asante from Twycross Zoo sits right in front of little Aarde, and then she suddenly starts to touch his little toes. It is almost like she is in complete awe of how small they are. It really is such a sweet moment to catch .
Aarde moves away and Asante tries to touch his foot again. She follows him around, but then quickly turns around as Silverback Oumbi makes his presence known, coming barging in. He settles down for his food, but when he finishes, he pops into the back room. That is when Shufai comes walking upright, towel in hand, beating his chest before throwing the towel right towards the back door. Oumbi comes straight back out to see what on earth is going on, while Shufai makes a very swift exit.
Later on, Shanga and her son Aarde have a lovely little huddle while Aarde gets fed. I got a great close up of Aarde on the floor when suddenly Asante comes over and tries to sit on him! I have no idea what she was thinking. She quickly moved off him again though, probably because she saw my surprised face.
To finish the day, Aarde has a tree branch that is hanging down, but he only looks away for one second and Shufai pulls the entire branch up, leaving poor Aarde with just the leftovers. Ozala is sitting nearby as well, throwing a few glances over, but all in all it turned out to be a fairly calm.

Gorilla Aarde Finds the Most Unconventional Way to Drink Water

*An additional Members video this week! Gorilla Aarde invents a cheeky new way to drink water at Twycross Zoo, while tired Oumbi rests and Shufai causes playful chaos.*
Gorilla Aarde has a completely unconventional way of drinking water. Even though there are brand new water taps installed inside where he can get fresh water at any time, he has decided his own method is much more fun.
Meanwhile, Silverback Oumbi is looking a bit tired today, taking a well-earned rest while the younger ones stay active. Young Shufai is charging around and trying to push little Aarde, but Aarde does not mind one bit and later enjoys some energetic playtime with his favourite barrel.

Little Gorilla Aarde Picks Up Oumbi’s Best And Worst Habits

*Watch little gorilla Aarde pick up Oumbi’s best and worst habits at Twycross Zoo, from window watch duties to pushing the door flap!*

🌿It was so wonderful to see those play sessions again, just like I used to see with the GoBros Lope and Shufai. Aarde came storming towards Shufai for a little wrestle, and Shufai put his arm around him in a quiet moment in between. Then came the moment I was waiting for! Aarde has picked up the family tradition the leg up on the window sill. Just like Oumbi did today, Lope did when he was at Twycross, and Shufai is still doing it too. I wondered how long it took him to pick it up!

🌿Aarde joined Asante, then made room for Oumbi as he followed Asante to the next window. They were carefully watching to see if the keepers were doing a good job with the cleaning and I’m sure thinking “common just get on with it, we’re hungry”! I felt a bit sorry for Ozala sitting further away at first, and then later she was checking to see if the door was still closed behind the door flap. So Oumbi came and pushed her through the door flap, which was something Aarde did to Shufai later on! Ozala was smelling Asante as well, and I wondered what that was about! I don’t think I have ever seen her do that before.

Orangutan Youngster Jim Throws Himself Into Dad’s Arms

*🦧Baby Orangutan Jim shares a rare playful bonding moment with his gentle dad Djimat at Dudley Zoo, pulling hair and throwing himself into dad’s arms.*
Baby Orangutan Jim shares a rare playful bonding moment with his gentle dad Djimat at Dudley Zoo, pulling hair and throwing himself into dad’s arms.
This is a second special today of the Dudley Zoo Orangutans! If you missed the first one check out playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLSCNlwEYCcyE?sbp=QAE%3D

Jim is still pulling dad’s hair! Djimat turns around, and then Jim throws himself right into his dad’s arms. Djimat holds Jim’s hand, and Jim tries to get out of his grip by rolling. Djimat is holding tight to Jim while rolling himself back on his belly. Jim even used dad’s flanges to hold on with his foot! He tries everything. Djimat is such a gentle giant and I love seeing how much Jim really enjoys his time with his dad.

Happy World Orangutan Day With Djimat And His Playful Sons At Dudley Zoo

🦧 *Happy World Orangutan Day! Watch patient dad Djimat handle his playful, naughty sons Jim and Joe during playtime at Dudley Zoo.* You can bookmark the series here to see all the upcoming episodes! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLSCNlwEYCcyE?sbp=QAE%3D
‼️This is the beginning of a five-part series featuring orangutan dad Djimat and his sons at Dudley Zoo. I hope you love this mini YouTube show as much as I loved filming it. There will be TWO episodes dropping today! The second one at 17hrs UK time today.

Dad Djimat is amazingly patient with his sons, even when his hair gets pulled. When Djimat grabs some wood wool, cheeky Jim simply snatches it out of his hands and throws it away, almost as if to say, “Don’t play with that, play with me!”

Joe joins in to play with dad, but Jim has other ideas and tackles Joe. Even when they bump right into dad’s face, Djimat stays completely calm. Jim keeps grabbing his dad’s huge hand, pulling his fingers, and giving them a gentle bite.

Jim is especially naughty, but you can clearly see he is a total daddy’s boy. Between hair pulling, pushing himself right into his dad’s arms, and wrestling with that massive arm, their bond is wonderful to watch.

Watch Jambo Bare Teeth Looking For Food

Back to Jambo today and his females, Tuli, Josie and Victoria. It is feeding time at Twycross Zoo and the weather is looking great. I love watching Jambo get so excited as he hunts around to see where his food has been hidden, even baring his teeth in a relaxed manner at one point.
He was born right here at Twycross Zoo.
Tuli really impresses with her amazing balance up a pole on this windy day. It is definitely windy up there, you can see it in her hair. Josie and Victoria also make an appearance

Gorilla Shufai Slippery Hill Slide Action at Twycross Zoo

*Gorilla Shufai slides down the hill towards Aarde. While Ozala watches the room and uses a pipe to get into her nest at Twycross Zoo.*
https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLRoLQ6T1i-Pg?sbp=QAE%3D
🌿Gorilla Shufai from Twycross Zoo is running down the slope, the end of the slope an uncontrolled slide that nearly looked like he was not going to hold himself upright. The next Shufai slide looks a lot better. Aarde takes it in his stride.

🌿A little late Aarde is on top of the climbing frame while Ozala is watching him with her stiff legged stance. Inside little Aarde is checking his teeth, something stuck or baby teeth trouble?

🌿A little close up of a foot, did you guess who it was? Oumbi on guard as things get tense again. Ozala turns around, her back facing me and she can watch the room. When I was filming to the left Ozala charged and pushed the ball out of her way. Shufai followed suit and charged Shanga. They went outside, I followed but they were already back inside again and Ozala showed how she used the pipe without rolling away to get into her nest.
