    Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Gorilla Details:
    Mokolo - born at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, he came to Cleveland in 1994. At that time, he joined three younger gorillas to make up Cleveland's Bachelor Group. Eventually, we were left with only 2 gorillas, Mokolo & Bebac, then Bebac died in 2017 (from heart disease-not mentioned in the video). Mokolo is now 36 years old. He is the dad of Kayembe and Kunda. Females were brought to Cleveland starting in the Spring of 2017
    Fredrika (Freddie)- At 49 years old, she is the oldest adult female in the troop. She is Kayembe's surrogate mom She has raised four babies of her own. She came to Cleveland from Zoo Miami in April of 2017.
    Kebi - (Kebi Moyo) she came from The Columbus Zoo & Aquarium in May of 2017. She had her first baby at the age of 8. Kebi's first baby is named Kambera Dupe and she is currently at Zoo Atlanta. Kebi is now 32 years old.
    Nneka - born in San Francisco. She came to Cleveland in April 2018. She gave birth to Cleveland's FIRST baby gorilla in 2021 (a male named Kayembe). She is 25 years old. Nneka's first baby was raised by its grandmother because Nneka did not show any proper maternal care then (San Francisco Zoo). Today, Fredrika is raising Nneka’s second baby, Kayembe. Again Nneka, did not show proper maternal care for this baby either.
    Tusa - she is the smallest and lowest ranking adult in the troop. She arrived in Cleveland in May of 2019 from the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo in New Mexico. Tusa is 32, but has her 33rd birthday on December 2nd. Tusa was hand reared by humans, and she can get very vocal when upset.
    Kayembe - has the honor of being the first baby gorilla born at the Cleveland Zoo. He was born October 26, 2021, and is two years old now. Like most toddlers, he is very active. He plays most often with Fredrika and Nneka. His birth mom is Nneka, dad is Mokolo.
    Kunda - is the second baby gorilla born at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. She was born July 19th 2023. Her mom is Kebi and her dad is Mokolo.
    Jameela - born via c-section to Sekani in Fort Worth Texas zoo. Sekani is 33 years old and Jameela was her 4th baby. Sekani did not accept Jameela after recovering from her c-section. A search for a foster mom led her to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

    Larry, I like what you do and I know you love these animals and I do too. But these gorillas are so much like us. It’s heartbreaking to see them in these cages and that’s exactly what they are. Can you imagine if we lived in those pens? The Gorillas should be taken somewhere else. For safety reasons, but I hate zoos because they never have enough room for the animals. You can see and watch the sadness in their eyes.

    • @larrysanimalsafari
      @larrysanimalsafari  5 місяців тому +9

      Thanks for watching. That’s one perspective - that others share with you. I too, wish we had vast areas for them to live in safely. However, until we have those places (like Cleveland’s future exhibit called Primate Forest) we do the best we can to protect them, educate the public about their plight , and take conservation steps to protect this critically endangered species. Zoos play an important role in making that happen. Thanks for your thoughtful comments. 👍😁. I don’t expect one reply by me to change your mind overnight. In the time I have been following Cleveland’s gorillas (2years- visits 2x per week) I’ve thought a great deal about wild animals and their future. I’ve also learned how our zoo has very dedicated and conscientious professionals who also want the best they can provide for these animals.

      Larry is right but he left out the evil part Im assuming its hard for him to talk about it or he just didn't want to say the reason these zoos are the safest plac3 for them because the truth of that is sad but it is the truth !!
      Where these beautiful creatures come from there are evil humans that hunt and kill them and it is so evil and sick that the humans in there country would rather kill them instead of protect them !!
      These beautiful creatures do belong in the wild but they would be killed off because not enough people in that area care they are more interested in k8lling them for money and other things its truly sick!!
      The adults are shot and killed for their body parts and the babies are either left to die or sold to people and they end up living a tortured life and eventually killed also !!
      The sad truth is the zoos are the best chance they have to not be killed!!!

    Hi, thanks for the updats on Jameela’s journey . I’m ecstatic that she seems settled with aa good family. However, it is Freddie who has risen to super star status. i’m fascinated . She is a surrogate to Kamembe and Jameela. How is it she was able to breast feed Kamembe and now Jameela at 50.. I check in daily with all the gorillas on youtube but Im planning to vist Cleveland Zoo this summer. Thamks again .

      私は、ただのおしゃぶりと思ってましたが・・・
      しかし、おしゃぶりさせてあげるだけでも凄い事と思います。
      悲しいかな、ゴリラという動物は、人口保育になると我が子にさえ授乳させなくなり、愛情も急下がりしてしまう動物と思っておりました。しかし、フレディは特別で、どんなに愛情深いと言われている他のゴリラでも足元に及びません。ジャミーラに授乳させながら、カエンベにも授乳させてる姿を見た時は、鳥肌が立つほど感動しました。
      人間を超えたゴリラがいたのだと・・・
      フレディを見て育ったベビーゴリラ達も、この姿を受け継いで欲しいです。

    I just 🫶 how Freedie handled Kayembe when he went up & disturbed her & Jameela while they were knapping. Freedie just gave Kayembe kisses & gave him her full attention face to face ALWAYS INSURING THAT HE FEELS 💜'd even though she has Jameela now. Her behaviors in handling Kayembe WILL INSURE that Kayembe & Jameela grow up 💜'ing each other as siblings & that the "Troop", as a whole, are a "tight-knit family unit"! Way to go Mommy Freedie!!! But let's not forget Mikolo's role too cuz he's been a great "adoptive" Daddy to Jameela as well!!!

      The head curator and the gorilla SSP representative have talked about Freddy always beginning a alpha female and that she so intelligent and now with wisdom plus she’s one of the savvy’s social gorilla’s they ever worked with. I think she’s been a great teacher to Kebi and Kebi is smart to watch and learn from Freddy as well. This is one of the calmest and best troop’s, I’ve heard many other keepers from other zoo say so as well.

    Beautiful to see she was accepted by another troop! Poor Kayembe, gorillas usually have 4 years of attention from their mothers before a new baby requires their undivided attention. I’ve not been following this troop but he doesn’t seem to aggravate or play with his dad much like some others do.

    To me the gorilla's of these American zoo are looking apathetic. In other zoo's they more enjoy the family life.
    Per example the environment of the Gorilla's in the London Zoo, the Taipei Zoo and the Japanese zoo look more dry and cosy for the gorilla's and the gorilla's are provided with BLANKETS because in captivity gorilla's 🦍 know how to use blankets.
    The gorilla's 🦍 of London, Taipei and Japan also looks MORE ENERGETIC, HAPPY AND ENJOYING FAMILY LIVE TOGETHER. Looking at the gorilla's, in other zoo's ,the youngest one acts like playing children. I hope that this American zoo will look at the family life of gorilla's, per example in the Chinese zoo, how they are doing it, because i always look with much pleasure to the gorilla's 🦍🦍 in the zoos that i have mentioned🙏

      👍😁. I think now that cleveland has some gorilla children we will see more changes that lend to young gorillas having fun. Up till now we’ve just had adults. Case in point- just since Jameela has arrived there are several balls in with gorillas, a toy football, and a plastic ring Kayembe can sit in or play with. Thanks for contributing more to this thread.

    I am zero expert in gorilla behaviour but it seems to me there should be kind of a daycare for young gorillas, I believe it would relieve stress a lot for mothers having no peace it seems with youngsters running around and being so mischievous like Kayembe, he sure looks bored.

    • @larrysanimalsafari

  • @kelleybutler9203
    @kelleybutler9203 5 місяців тому

    Larry does daily or semi daily explain the actual foster mother (Freddy) or Kebi as Kunda’s mother and explain Nneka was Kayenbe’s birth mother but showed no desire to raise him and is really just a best playmate since they are close in age. Some zoo have loud speaker’s where they go over frequently asked questions. Since Cleveland MetroParks Zoo is expanding so in the future this would be a great addition to the growth of the facility. What’s your opinion on this matter.

    • @larrysanimalsafari
      @larrysanimalsafari  5 місяців тому +1

      Many, but not all of my videos on this troop, explain that Nneka did not show proper maternal care for Kayembe. That Fredrika(Freddie) picked up Kayembe on day one and has cared for him ever since. Nneka did become a favorite playmate for Kayembe but that was when he was almost a year old. When you check out some of Kayembe’s videos -earlier on- I address his relationship- or lack thereof - with Nneka. (Sometimes just in the description below video). I will create a new video that mentions more - especially for my newer subscribers.

    • @larrysanimalsafari
      @larrysanimalsafari  5 місяців тому

      The gorillas hear some of the noise. When it’s gets loud the gorillas move to the back of the enclosure or to locations out of view. Yes, there are spots where gorillas can be out of view totally.

    Jameela is a lucky little gorilla Freddie is a great Mom to Kayembe and now her. Freddie has patience and experience Nneka has been a bit impatient with Kayembe lately he’s fortunate to now have Jameela and little Kunda, Kebi is also a great mom. Wonder if Tusa will have a baby, not sure she seems to isolate herself and not sure that Momoko likes her. Would love to see her with a baby

      It is very small. I've seen it in person. They are building a new ape habitat, though. I believe it will be completed by the time Jameela is Kayembe's age. The problem is that it will be a simulated outdoor experience. I hope there will be some true outdoor areas for the gorillas to visit.
