Don't be a fruit cake it's a glass reflection. Ghosts aren't real

I think he is healing from a minor sprain or something.

Mom tell him that he is being too rough with me 😲🙄😃😩🦍

6-7 millions years ago we were the same specie

thanks, watching him and Shalia interact is so great to watch.

If I go early its usually not crowded yet, plus you hear the lions roar at 9:30 every morning!

There is Amari from Buffalo Zoo and Kambera from Columbus Zoo in Habitat 1, and yes, I'll add them next trip!

@@TheGorillasNextdoor Kamoli is Kambera's son, but he is not in a family group. They are going to be "bachelors" when they return to Columbus. The zoo is currently renovating their habitat.

@@TheGorillasNextdoor Thank you so much. I have enjoyed your videos for the last few months. I was at your zoo last summer, and I would have a hard time getting good video of the gorillas because of the layout of the habitats. You do a stellar job though.

I saw him once too in that enclosure. You know, the keepers there really loved him growing up, and gave him a lot of attention when he was young, interacting with him constantly, then he just got too big to play with, and they were really upset at him being alone with nothing to do. Back then the Zoo was run by the City Parks and Recreation Dept, so there just wasn't a budget to do anything, cept put that TV in there. It was sad he spent so long in there but the moment he stepped out into that new enclosure for the first time, with all those thousands of people watching... it must've been incredible. He went on and lived 13 years outside and led his family successfully fathering lots of off-spring.

Vdd

Yes, I saw that too, it looks like its sprained maybe? When he is running he accidentally hits it with his knee and jerks it away pretty quick. It's obvious he can't use it, but he also is playing still so I don't think it's anything severe, I hope the keepers are awre of it.

I noticed it to hope his arm gets better he adorable looking lil guy 😍❤️🦍 remind me a Ringo 😂

😅

The zookeepers hide the food to encourage the gorillas to forage for food like they do in the wild. Gorillas spend 80% of the day looking for food and eating it.

Well, they have open access to food inside all the time, and in the morning keepers throw chunks of fruits and veggies all over the yard so they are constantly foraging. The "traps" with food in them are called "enrichment items" and they are meant to give the gorillas a mental workout by making them solve how to get the food out the best, to "enricj" their mental well being. That is what they are SUPPOSED to be. However, to me, they look like an annoyance to the gorillas, because they all know how to get food out of each one very easily. So in the morning it's just a routine thing, and they all try to get those first to be the one who gets the best items out first. If you notice, Shalia will leave most everyithing in there and got the veggies first. In the wild, all gorillas pretty much do is eat all day long, and forage, and eat, then bed down for not. They also nap during the day. So the zoo tries to give them enough food to find throughout the whole day. Some days they also will throw a bunch more whole fruits to them, snack time. I have a dew videos of them scrambling to catch oranges and stuff.

Use mute

@@lindapelle8738 I like to hear the animals not listen to music.

Sooo the music, I have to put something because the people screaming and yelling saying dumb things would ruin every video. I've started to just do a intro jingle and an outro jingle, but critical comments are welcomed, because really, I can only make these better with honest reactions, so thankyou. Just wanted to give you a little background on why its there. It's funny, my friend who does the gorilla videos at Kyoto Zoo with the Momoto Family, I think I commented to him once and said the music was horrible... I just figure something folksy and happy sounding that I can license....

@TheGorillasNextdoor it was way too loud, and I would rather hear the Gorillas. Even the Momotaro family music is loud. There should be microphones so that we can hear them. Shabani's family can be heard, no problem.

In reality, the gorillas rarely actually make any noise vocally, other than chest beats which I always leave in, and if there are any important interactions with them making noises I leave those alone too. They are usually too far away to hear anything, and I'm telling you, listening to these crowds and the ridiculous sounds they make right near and say so close to the camera would ruin every video. I'll experiment with that and see how it's recieved by viewers. Thank you for your feedback as always!

I will check a chart I have somewhere...

Yes, I feel the same way. I couldn't listen to that noise every day.

You bring up a very valid point. How difficult is it to print some signs that encourage the zoo visitors to be quiet around the apes? “Very sensitive animals - your silence is very important to respect the gorillas” or something like that.

I cannot say that you don't have a solid point. One of the absolute worst things to watch ow witness is all these people trying to make silly grunting sounds, and the kids screaming.... it is bad. So bad that I normally take out the recorded audio for the clips on busy days, and I have to re-use something more tranquil that I've recorded before. If I didn't, the people talking and their chatter would be a huge distraction. In this video, there was a big crowd of people behind me, and it was hard to listen to. Sometimes I turn around and tell the people, if you want to see them better, don't be loud because they don't like yelling and screaming. I wish the Zoo would put signs up to mention to people to not yell, because imagine if every single day as soon as you woke up, a bunch of strange people were being rude as heck and acting that way? These gorillas understand emotions through the tone in how someone speaks. When it comes to their freedom the only thing I tell myself is that everyone one of the gorillas in ZooAtlanta were captive born, and do not know what the wild is or have memories of it. If you put them in the wild, they would probably not survive, or be really upset because their food wasn't prepared for him. I respect every one's disagreements with zoo's they are all valid, and after all, humans have screwed up everything on the planet pretty much. I go back n forth all the time. At least these gorillas aren't under threat of being hunted for bushmeat either. Thanks for your comment!

@@TheGorillasNextdoor as I had said, the zoos generally take good care of their charges. The do allow humans to remain embarrassingly human tho
