-In general, gorillas live 35 years in the wild. In captivity they get better food, medical care and have no predators. Life expectancy can range from 50-60 years.
GORILLA CONSERVATION - one of the easiest things you can do to help gorillas is to recycle your old cell phone or other hand held electronic device. Recycling electronics helps support gorilla conservation programs. Cell phones and other electronics contain a mineral called coltan (it is short for columbite-tantalite). 80% of the world’s Coltan is mined in central Africa, which is wild gorilla habitat. Forests are being strip mined for this highly sought after mineral, with illegal mining even taking place in protected gorilla areas. BUT! Coltan is reusable! Clear out that old cell phone drawer! Our hope is, that the more and more electronic devices are recycled, this can slow demand for new Coltan to be mined in Africa.
Some estimates report gorilla populations have declined 25% in the past 20-25 years.
Kayembe was the first zoo born gorilla at the Cleveland Zoo.
Kunda is the second baby born in Cleveland in less then 2 years.
Jameela is the first baby gorilla born via c-section at the Fort Worth Zoo.
The Conservation status of the Western Lowland gorilla is “Critically Endangered”.

Always a joy to see Jameelas big beautiful shiny 👁️👁️ Thanks.✌️
👍😁
Jameela is so adorable and Freddy loves her so much🥰 Freddy is an incredible mommy to Kayembe and Jameela🥰
🤗👍
Freddy is a jewel. She is such a good mom. Kayembe is getting big!!
👏😁
Kayembe has grown so much in the past year. All the gorillas enjoying the last warm days of the year. Thanks Larry
👍😁
Jameela is the prettiest cutest baby girl gorilla. When she has her own babies, she will be a great mom because Freddy is such a great mom to her.
😁
I really hope Freddy is around a long time, she is such a good momma 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
🤞🤗
11:46 Kayembe going up to Freddy as if to give her a kiss as she touches his arm is absolutely precious!!❤
🤗
Freddy has plenty of love for Jameela and Kayembe.
👍🤗
Thank you Larry for showing these vedoies. I really enjoy them.
Glad to hear that! 👏👍😁
I love you beautiful videos. You always seem to catch those two little ones in the sweetest looks on their face is amazing you go Larry you rock.
You are so kind
Thanks for another enjoyable video. It was great that Kayembe slowed down enough to let you get so many closeups of him. A beautiful family.
👍😁
Great video Larry...my favorite 2 gorillas being shown up close!💯
👏👏😁
I was just thinking about why we are so intergued with primates, gorillas, monkeys, chimps. Formost, they are just too cute!!! ❤then, they are so close to us on the evolutionary scale. But mostly, they are sooooo cute❤❤
😁👍
ms. harley: I am in total agreement with your comment. ❤ Thank you!
Respeitável público apresento a vocês o casal mais simpático do mundo .....
Com vocês KAYEMBE E JAMEELA !!!!
🤣👏👏
I love and adore Kayembe. I loved hearing him beat his chest, that was really cool. Jameelas eyes are so beautiful. Thanks Larry!
Ps. Look at Louisville Zoo, they just released a video with a foster mom who met a baby. Seems to be more common with gorillas.
👍😁
Great video again Larry!
Thank you
Thank you so much for the beautiful videos of the beautiful Apes.
👍😁
I love this family, even as much as I love the baby elephants and rhinos. I think that the more I watch the same ones, the more I love them. If I got involved in other groups of animals, I'd probably never get anything else done in my spare time-yet, I keep thinking about these funny penguin movie I saw, where they were stealing each other's nest rocks...reminds me of humans too!
🤣👍
Jameelas little eyes are so adorable and you can tell she’s absorbing everything and every one around her. I am in awe of this family and their babies. Kayembe, I was yelling run Buddy…… Moms coming!! 😂🏃🏻♂️🤣
Wouldn’t you love to get into Dads head and see what he’s thinking about where exactly did that 3rd kid come from. I can see him now scratching his head. 😂🤣
🤣
@lady4vols 🤣👍
Jameela is such a little sweetheart!!! I love watching her hand and eye coordination as she’s trying to put stuff in her mouth.💕💕💕
👍😁
Wonderful as always. Thank you Larry,!😊
Thank you
Jameela is still such a baby! I keep forgetting she’s a little over 9 months old!😊
😁
What a great way to start the day!
👏😁
I am so happy for Jameela, she hit the jackpot when she was put with Freddy. Freddy Is the mom Jameela should have had all along. The other baby gorillas are gorgeous too.
👍😁
She is such good mummy
👍😁
Weer een hele mooie video Larry 😍💯 bedankt!
Thank you
Good morning Larry, this was a wonderful video with an incredible close-up of the family and with unique clarity.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 😁

thanks, very true.
Thanks for sharing.
👍😁
As always, great video. But what are they eating this time? Does not look like the usual leaves. Looks like sugarcane Kayembe is fiddling with.
This time it was banana tree stalks and leaves. I don’t see these very often.
Kayembe is the cutest lil guy he makes my day
😁
Kayembe, I just love you so much!!!💙💙💙
🤗
Sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤗
I can't wait for you to get 100,000 viewers! Love your content! Thank you for putting the videos out!
Thank you. As a part time activity for me, it has taken its time to catch on.
It was a treat to see Kayembe eating cause he is always running around playing 😊
👍😁
Kayembe says you have to have eyes all around your head around here when you’re eating.😂😂 Baby Jameela has the cutest flipped up curls. 😊❤❤ Happy belated birthday N’neka!🍅🌽🍌❤
😁
Bellisimo video 100pt Kayembe tan bello e independiente busca su alimentación solo es muy traviezo Yameela bellísima sobre Freddi aprende ya a alimentarse por si sola felicidades al zoologico de Cleveland y su personal así como Larry que los ama y nos actualiza Freddi con 50 años adoptó y crío esas 2 criaturas han cuidado tanto de ella Nene es de su edad y esta tan mal que diferencia gracias por esta.bella familia

🤣 thank you 🙇♂️
Fantastic video Larry! I can’t believe Kayembe is getting sooo big. Love that little miracle man!
👏😁
Thank you very much for this New fantastic video, Larry😀 Greetings from Germany
👋😁
That look of everything being 'New' is so cute, I'm sure we all went through that stage and amused everyone.Then we learned the words and actions and 'Ho Hum'...no big deal...:)
🤔
Kayembe is too cute!
👍
Lovely monkey.
👍 gorilla family
Thank you Larry for the close _up very nice
You are welcome ! 👋😁
Great footage. Thank you.
👋😁
Kayembe is just adorable! And where is kunda my favorite athletic!
Sometimes Kebi avoids me.
One of the best from you Larry!💓
Thank you! 😁
So funny baby Gorola !! lovely.
👏😁
Thank you, Larry. Great video as always. ❤ from Amsterdam.
Thank you in Amsterdam 👋😁
Kayembe is outgrowing his baby status. He isn't accustomed to Freddy not catering to him.
👍😁
Thanks! Great Content and Videography. Have a great day Larry, the rain has started here in N.W. Georgia. We are also N.W. about 150 miles from Atlanta and I’m hoping the hurricane 🌀 calms to a tropical depression but we’ve had them still be a hurricane 1-2 when the worse side for the winds hit. It was Opal and it took 8 days before power was restored. I’m don’t think it’s going to be anywhere near that bad but after you been through a couple that we’re still hurricane 🌀 force, I guess you’re always a little more nervous. I’m praying for everyone and no loss of life, property can be replaced, tree’s cut up and moved plus power restored but we don’t want any death toll. God’s Blessing’s To All. ♥️🦍🙏🏼♥️
Thank you for the extra support! May you and your neighbors be safe. 🤞❤️🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
🤗
Thanks!
Thank you for your extra support! 😁
Maybe we can chip in a little to show our appreciation. These are wonderful videos!
🌍🌿💙🦍💪
Thank YOU for the extra support! 😁
A little Dippity-do and Jameela’s curls can be styled into a 50s flip! She is so cute! Does Mokolo ever play with the babies? Kayembe sure wants to. Freddy is amazing. She is still very spry and capable to raise those babies. I loved how Kunda looked over her shoulder at mom before trying a new adventure. Permission or escape?!
Dippity-do! 😂
I'd forgotten about that. 💙
Mokolo does play with Kayembe, but not the girls. Their mom’s don’t seem to approve of that yet.
Marvellous camera work, Larry! The sound is amazing too - you can actually hear Kayembe munching on his banana stalk! 🤩 Jameela has a wonderfully intense gaze - there’s a lot going on in that sweet, curly little head❣️Thanks so much. 👏🙏😃
👍😁
I always wonder what they think of people watching them all day.
🤷♂️
They're probably watching the people and talking about them when no one's around.
@patriciamorgan8359 🤣
Oh what a beautiful shot Larry! Freddy who first with 1 hand, then 2, easily tips Kayembe over on his belly, to completely grab his booty! Yes, motherly love from here to the moon but if there is food to be had... 🤣, you are my dear son but you can go play somewhere else for a while, hop! And the beautiful full curls in Jameela's neck are beautiful. Jameela's strength to climb from the ground onto Freddy's back is beautiful to see. She is becoming more and more independent. Another very nice video Larry with beautiful shots of almost everyone. Thanks! 👍🏻🦍❣️
Thank you
That reminds me of when he was tiny and she would make him do tummy time. He'd roll over and reach for her, but she would just flip him right back onto his tummy.
@patriciamorgan8359 🤣
OMG! Kunda went by herself close to dad M. Without be afraid of him
I was surprised that Kebi wasn't right there picking her up.
I guess she is getting more comfortable around him. At least when he is sitting still.
@patriciamorgan8359 guess she is also more comfortable with Kunda’s exploring more.
@larrysanimalsafari every time I think Kebi's getting more comfortable with Kunda exploring, here she comes with "gorilla bubble wrap" to make sure nothing happens.
@patriciamorgan8359 🤣👍
It must be so nice, warm and comfy for baby Jammy to lean against mom's thick round belly and doing her things😍🥰and our little prince in combat with his food up close is one thing you would't want to miss🤭how can you not love this boy🥰sweet baby Kunda looking more confident every day🥰the whole family is doing great👏👍could we ask for more❤top job Larry!👏👍🥰🌻
👍😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Kayembe è di una simpatia infinita
🤗👍
Ah, the uniquely interpretative dance stylings
of irrepressible
Kayembe. 😂
Sweet kiddo will definitely welcome the day when Kunda and Jameela are old enough to romp with him.
🌍🌿🍼🦍🦍💙💪
The shots of Freddie in the afternoon sun were bittersweet to see: her wisdom and age in abundant detail. We love her to the moon.
That direct gaze close-up of Mokolo at the end was 🔥🦍💙
Larry, your photography is getting even better. Appreciate your skills and can tell you've invested in excellent equipment. You should have lots more subs... soon!
🤞 thank you 😁
❤❤❤sempre bello vedere questa famiglia
Grazie. Ed è bello sentirti: grazie per aver condiviso un commento!
Es ist wieder ein wunderschönes Video geworden. Alle nehmen relaxt und mit Genuss ihr Essen zu sich. ❤ Ich dachte, Freddy ist relaxt. Freddy kennt bei Leckereien keine Verwandtschaft. 😂🤣 Jetzt muss Kayembe schnell sein, schnell seine Leckerei essen. 🤣🥰 Kayembe klopft sich auf die Brust:"Mama, ich bin schon groß!" Ende der "Durchsage"! 🥰😍 Baby Kunda sucht einen Krümel und Vater Mokolo ist die "Ruhe in Person". 😄🥰
Thanks again RS.
@@larrysanimalsafari 👋
❤❤❤
🤗
Whoooooaaaaaa Fredi was rough with Kayembe. What’s in those banana stalks? They taste sweet and sour with a bitter aftertaste.
Something delicious I guess
Hii Larry, great video as usual. Do you think staff can arrange a play day for Kunda and Jameela. They look like they just want to have fun with each other? 😂
👍🤣
Morning Larry 🖐🏼😊
Morning Mother Freddie 🌷 🐒 ❤️ and baby Jameela 😊

Hi. Larry. Thank you for the videos. Are female generally more calm than males?
My thoughts are, on average human females are calmer than males - I believe same goes for gorillas. I don’t have scientific research on that though.
Are there specific times of day, or days of the week you would recommend to see the gorillas?
Time is the key… 10-1130 (in or outside) closer you get to 1130 gets closer to nap time. if outside catch their feeding /training sometime between 12:30- 1:30, it only lasts 10 minutes or so.
@@larrysanimalsafari Awesome, thanks larry! these videos are really such a treat!
Freddie is such a quiet soul/spirit until she wants Kayembie’s food!🤣 Kayembie never sits in one place long. He likes to visit each member in his group! I thought for sure that Kayembie was going to grab Mokolo’s shoulder. 🤣Great video, Larry!
Thank you 😁
Jameela 👣🥰🙊🇭🇺
👋😁
Kayembe stays close to mom, Oops he's not by momma. He's getting so big...
👍😁
Larry I have a question I need to ask about another zoo. How can I reach you?
larrysanimalsafari@gmail.com
🦍❣
🤗
Larry- do you think they will allow N’neka to have another baby?
That is up to the Gorilla SSP.
Freddie es un fenómeno como puede amamantar a hijos adoptados y a la edad de 50 años. Increíble pero cierto ❤❤
Yes
Kayembe seems lonely, cant play with jam, freddie interferes. .normal or sad?
Just like a human toddler… wants to play all the time.
Você também Larry, tenha um ótimo dia.
Bom diaaaaaa

Poor kayembe always alone 😢
👋
A Tusa nunca teve filhos....
Correct.
I often wonder if the fabulous Freddie knows Jameela isn’t her biological child??
😁
Wow! I also wonder if Kyembe feels some sort of kindred vibe toward Nneka? I thought I read somewhere that Nneka is his biological mom.
Yes, N’neka is his biological mom. She just didn’t have the maternal drive to care for a baby.
Once you step up to Care for another baby, that baby is yours, I don’t like the word foster as I was raised in a foster home. These babies will love Fredrika as if they were born to her. The creator has sent them another way for her to love them and them to love her Amazing just amazing. You are. Freddy.
@@elizabethcorbine3280 you have spoken something very meaningful ❤️
Larry, I wish your channel the fastest growth and prosperity, as you multiply GOOD with your creativity! Nothing in this world pleases as much as the contemplation of babies, so cute and sweet as little gorillas.
Thank you! 😁
