- Willie B III recently turned a year old and is doing great. He still clings to his mom Shalia every where she goes, but occasional forages for food and walks around the immediate vicinity whenever mom stops for a minute. The visitors at Zoo Atlanta love this little guy, and always has big crowds whenever he's visible. The reaction is always the same: "Oh look, it's the baby gorilla! There's the babyyyy!" Where they live in habitat 4 you can also see his father Willie B Jr. who was sired by the Original Willie B.

Every time I watch a video taken at a zoo or preserve where animals are on display, I am humiliated as a human because all those people are so disrespectful to the animals. Loudly shrieking adults with “ooh look!”, kids yelling to siblings and parents as they are empowered to stomp and run around freely by their less-than concerned parents, and just all the noise the onlookers make. I can only imagine the dread these intelligent creatures feel when visiting hours begin. It’s bad enough their own freedoms are nonexistent but to be forced to live a part of their lives contending with inconsiderately loud people wandering past them daily seems so depressing. I understand that most zoos take great care if their animals. I just wish that visitors could understand just how much impact each of us might have on the animals and teach our kids respectful noise levels and then continue to embrace that thru our adulthood.
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
Great patient video, very strong and healthy mom.
Thanks for the comment. I actually waited there for 30 minutes for them to come out too, everyone left but when they saw me filming acrowd suddenly showed up and wanted to see... ya gotta get there early and pay your dues to see the baby
I love his sleepy eyes! So cute that he kept his little carrot!🙃
Great video! I wish Habitat 4 was a little easier to watch them from.
They have a lot of places to hide, that's when it's better to watch from Habitat 3, but they are far away from that viewing area.
Why do they make it so hard for her get the food?
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.
Music turned me right off, sorry no can do
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!
