-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”.

THAT WAS FUN TO WATCH ! THEY ALL DID SO WELL.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😁
I love Freddy, she is so chill all the time. It's wonderful to see how well taken care of they all are. Bless the keepers!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
😁
Jameela is so adorable she just loves her bottle🥰
👍
Sweet Tusa. Hope Mokolo has her back, as it were. 🩵 Always cool to see him, especially, with the carers.
Happy babies = healthy troop.
Thanks for an interesting look at our favorite gorillas.
👍😁
Great video. I appreciate the care the zoo gives the gorilla family. Those babies are really cute❤❤
😁
I don’t envy people, but I do those that take care of babies and animals, I get too emotionally attached. I love the training sessions. The babies are so adorable 🥰. I hope Kayembes quirky personality never changes. I truly adore him. I hope the keepers know we all appreciate them and love the gorillas so much. Thank you Larry!
@@BeachyKeen92 I know . Same here
👍😁
😁
Jameela is becoming sleepy with her bottle feeding. ❤❤❤
🤗
Kayembe showing his belly! lol! What a smart boy!
🤣
Larry, these are always my favorite videos. It really captures how much love and devotion these keepers have for these exquisite animals. It also shows the trust the animals have with the keepers. Jameela is all about her bottle!!! So precious
👍😁
Jameela is watching Freddie and the keeper so intently! Adorable! Love that baby girl ❤❤❤❤❤
👍😁
Freddy is the best mama! Just love her!❤️
👏😁
Beautiful jameela drinking her milk bottle 🍼. I see your full little tummy! 😊Can you chew that green bean? 🫘 🥰🥰❤❤
🤣🤗
Beautiful and so sweet. Freddy really deserves her snacks. A wonderful interaction between humans and gorilla's. ❤ Thank you for the video, Larry.
👍😁
Vero ben organizzato zooo mi piace e gorilla sono meravigliosi tutta la famiglia .Grazie Larry ♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👌
Prego
Fantastic! I love seeing them having snacks and training time!👏🤩 My favourite part was how Kebi brought her own stool over to the fence. The keepers have stools, so why shouldn’t she?! 😄 I noticed last time also that Kunda really does not like that flaxseed porridge! Not even when it’s served on a lovely crispy green bean. Kayembe is a smart little fellow and has already learnt to open his mouth and show his belly to the keepers! 🤩 They are all amazing❣️
👍😁
Great video. Loved watching Queen Freddy eating with a spoon like a proper lady. Kunda is not the snack fan that Jameela is. Jameela enjoyed every drop of her bottle. Beautiful family. Thanks, Larry.
👍😁
Kunda little legs can move! 😂She’s a little drummer girl too. ❤❤
@denisemorris1177 I noticed Kunda drumming. I think she's going to be quite the sassy independent girl.
@@patriciamorgan8359 I think you’re right! 😹
@patriciamorgan8359 🤣
Bellissimo video,Grazie a voi❤
thank you too
Sleepy little girl with a full belly!❤️
🤗
Jameela just LOVES her bottle!!! You can almost see her little eyes glaze over as if she’s “milk-drunk”!! 😊
🤣🤗
What an amazing coordination between animals and human beings. Kudus.,
👏😁
And another fantastic video! Sweet Jameela who later almost falls asleep from drinking the bottle, just like a human baby 👶🏼. Kunda who doesn't seem to care much for the zookeeper and apparently has no appetite. Freddy who eats really neatly from the spoon, lips closed to get everything inside 😂, and tries to take the bean from Jameela 🤣. Sweet Tusa who tells Kayembe in real gorilla language to stop teasing. Kayembe who, as always, hardly sits still for a moment and Mokolo keeps a close eye on everything 👀. And they all behave exemplary during the judging (otherwise no tasty snack? 🤣) Always great to see that the troop is really focused on each other instead of on the visitors 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🐒🐒🐒
👏👏😁
Wonderful to see babies Kunda and Jameela, and toddler Kayembe doing well. The whole troop looks healthy. I'm happy Tusa has a gorilla family, but I feel she wishes to be alone.
👍😁
It’s so nice to see that the troop is all doing well. Gorillas are absolutely amazing and I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks Larry! Love from the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
Thanks Dallas/Fort Worth!
Precious ❤❤
🤗
I love that we could hear Tusa
👍
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait until the babies are old enough to play with Kayembe what a riot it will be.
I hope so too!
Jameela 🥰🐵👣☺️🇭🇺
👏😁
Kaye is being big boy doing health checks🥰🥰🥰🥰
👏🤗
Kayembe striking a pose is so funny! Love seeing the troop! Have a great weekend Larry
👍😁
What a great job!
😁
Jameela is so darn cute! I just want to pick her up and give her a kiss on the cheek. 😍
🤗
Jameela looked like she was drifting into a milk coma. She didn't seem too interested in solid food, but maybe she was just full after her bottle. Kayembe still has major FOMO. He has to look around to make sure no one else is getting something better. I love Tusa using her gorilla voice. It actually seemed to have more effect on Kayembe than the screaming. Mokolo is stepping up the discipline with Kayenbe, which is great. It was wonderful to see Kunda being allowed to get more than a few inches away from Kebi. Great video, as always. 😊❤
Thank you
Thank you, Larry! Always fun to see this beautiful family! 😍🦍♥️
Always!
Nice video!
Thank you
Another great one Larry! Barb did a great job also! I enjoy watching their health checks with the keepers!
👍😁 thank you
So funny time for Gorilla Jameela lovely.
👍😁
They are so majestic creatures they deserve all the luv an attention 💗 God I luv em
🤗
Kayembe doing a sterling job of annoying everyone 😅
Great to see Freddie doing her checkups and Jameela having her bottle ❤
👍😁
Kayembe is such a big boy.
👏😁
What did you do at work today? Just spoon and bottle fed some gorillas 🥹 so jealous! Do the keepers do this every day at a specific time?
Yes they do it every day. The times fluctuate just a little to keep the gorillas guessing.
@larrysanimalsafari Thanks for the great footage and info! 😊
Thanks Larry
👍😁
Precious “Jameela”🥰I enjoyed seeing my baby drinking from a bottle today…❤️
👍😁
doy las gracias y reconocimiento al personal por su trabajo de atender a los gorilas🙏✨💐👍 disfrutó mucho ver a la tropa siendo atendidos de manera individual con su alimentación y chequeó de salud, los amo a todos, pero los tres bebés son mi debilidad😇🦍🦍🦍💖 gracias Larry por compartir tú hermoso trabajo 🙏👍
Gracias
Thanks Larry. ❤
👍😁
How sweet is Jameela drinking from that bottle, baby formula. Freddy what a great listener to get his snacks.
😁
Thank you Larry!
👍😁
Love watching all of them. I think Kayembi had too much Gatorade given him too much energy LOL.😂😂😂❤❤❤
Gatorade is to replace salts and electrolytes, Gatorade has almost no sugar count. He’s just being a 2.9 month old gorilla 🦍 and he’s more calm than many in other troops. Kunda and Jameela will be just as full of energy, Kunda’s almost there but Kebi keeps her under surveillance all the time. Soon Kunda will be strong and strong willed enough to just do as she pleases. It’s all part of growing up and being interested in their environment. It good to see how much the keeper’s take care of each individual’s health.
yes. they do take good care of them. ❤
LOL
Thanks!
Thank you, I appreciate the extra support! 👋😁
Thank you, Larry.😊 That was a fun and informative video.👍 I enjoyed every minute of it.
Kayembi is a little rascal.😆🐒
Terrible Two 🐒😆
Well, it won't be long before Kayembi turns 3 years old.🐒❤️

Glad you enjoyed it
Die Kleine hält ihr Händchen auch schon zum Tierpfleger. Ist das niedlich! 🥰😍🤣❤ Mit Genuss essen und trinken beide. So schön! 😍 Freddy macht die Übungen ganz prima. 👍❤ Jameela schmeckt die Babynahrung. 🥰🍼 Die kleine Süße wird müde. 😃🥱 Wenn der Magen voll ist, wird man müde. Mama Freddy lässt sich auch verwöhnen mit Leckereien. ❤ Wie sagt man bei uns:"Ohne Verpflegung, keine Bewegung!" Die süße Kunda ist bestimmt satt. 🥰 Mama Kebi schmeckt die Leckerei. 😋Kunda hat sich versteckt. 😄Kayembe ist schon ein großer süßer Junge und er macht das prima mit dem Training. 🥰 Niedlich! Es scheint ihm zu schmecken. 😋😍 Clever die Sache mit der Waage! 👍 Tusa schreit nicht. 🤣 Gutes Zeichen! Mokolo ist eine Respektsperson und das ist gut so.
👍😍👍🦍💕🦍💕🦍💕
👋😁
@@larrysanimalsafari 👋
Amo os gorilas
👏👏😁
Has Freddie ever have her own kids? 😊
I thought I read that she’s had 7 of her own.
Yes, she had 7 of her own. Check out my “meet cleveland gorillas” playlist for a complete history on Freddy.
What an amazing video and I love seeing how the zoo takes care of this family. They are all very well trained and obedient. Who knows if Kayembe the Terrible behaves as obediently.😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
That is the perfect title for Kayembe 😂😂😂
@@lesliewallace9665 🤣🤣🤣♥️
@AlinaWhitfield0510 🤗
👏😁
Jameela looks like it’s nappy time after the bottle.
😴
How many times a day do they supplement her with a bottle? Any idea? I wonder if she still nurses on Freddy also since she been eating, or atleast trying to eat, more greens and vegetation. Love hearing the natural sounds of the zoo versus a music overlay also. The videos keep getting better and better!
Jameela gets 3 bottles each day ( down from 4 previously). She still nurses from Fredrika.
Muito lindos tomando mamadeira
👍😁
Lindos e inteligentes
😁
What a lovely video Larry! I don't see any of this type of training reinforcement at the Japanese zoos.
Perhaps it’s done in an area not seen by the public? 🤷♂️
@I amAdrienne-I have seen Shabani's family doing it.they do it at the wall inside .They get treats too.Happy Gorilla Watching to you always!🍁🦍💛🍂🦍🧡💚🦍🙋♀️
Tem sim, assisti no Zoo da cidade de Kyoto com a família Momotaro é a família Shabani.
What are the zookeepers feeding them on the spoon?
Larry mentions it at the beginning of the video - some mix of flax
Brown flax seed
THANK YOU FOR SHARING LARRY! BLESSED SATURDAY TO ALL! AMAZING DEDICATION AND LOVE THE STAFF HAS FOR OUR GORILLA FAMILY AT CLEVELAND ZOO! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE THAT CLOSE TO THEM, FEEDING, ETC
.. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL, AND INTELLIGENT! LOVE ALL GOD'S ANIMALS. LAST TIME I VISITED CLEVELAND ZOO WAS OVER 30 YEARS AGO! I ENJOY ALL THE VIDEOS! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! SENDING HUGS! JAMEELA HAS A MILK BUDDHA BELLY!!! SO CUTE!!!🫶☮️🦍
Thank you
Do their nails ever need to be cut?
Good question. I’ve never run across that question or info. 🤷♂️
Kebi was hitting her chest?
Yes, you mean Baby Kunda?
@@larrysanimalsafari yes Kunda
Morning🌞Baby Kunda🍼🐒❤️ Mother Freddie🌷🐒❤️ and Baby Jameela 🍼🐒😊🖐🏼🌅❤️

So, how much did Kunda weigh?
You must watch the video to learn that.
12 and 1/2 pounds
@larrysanimalsafari I did watch, I must have missed it.Sorry.
@charlesmccoy5857 Wow, it must be all muscle because she sure doesn't look it.
😲🤣🤣
Does anyone else "like" before they even watch the video? 😁
Always ❤
I do😊
I do because I know his videos are awesome and I love watching them thank you, Larry
thank you!
Thank you
Love watching these. Every video a different one becomes my favorite. Just wondering in a later video, is Freddy with child? She seems be possessing a larger belly.
Freddy is not with child. Gorillas naturally have the large belly’s.
Kayembe likes to tease Tusa
😁
❤❤❤
🤗
สวัสดีค่ะ
สวัสดี ขอบคุณที่รับชม!
Kayembe, stay where I can see you.
But dad I am just playing.
Mokolo gives the dad look 😂😂😂
😲😁
Why does Jameela have to be fed with a bottle? Kayembe doesn’t need liquid nutrition anymore.
I think … it follows the routine this zoo has established with raising its youngsters. First Kayembe then Kunda, offering supplemental feedings ensures baby is getting all the nutrition she needs, allows staff to interact closely with gorilla for wellness/health checks and teaches the baby/youngster this is how we do things and it’s a normal part of your day. They are unable to provide just flax seed and green beans because Jameela has not progressed to that diet yet.
😂. JAMELA SE ESTABA QUEDANDO DORMIDA CON EL BIBERÓN..Y CUANDO SE LO QUITARON PELO LOS OJITOS COMO ASUSTADA..😅
Gracias por mirar y compartir un comentario. (Probablemente sorprendido)
Why are the gorillas spoon-fed?
How else would gain their trust ? Leaving food in a bowl or strewn across the yard won’t help make them trust you. They feed them as a reward during training.
@@larrysanimalsafari ok 👌
É sempre muito bom assistir um Zoo que se preocupa com o bem estar dos animais, e achei muito interessante a parte da medicina para os gorilas, pesquisas e tratamentos, fico muito contente, hoje foi um dia de importante, a tradora pode pesar Kunda, as fofuras Jameela, cada dia mais linda e esperta, Fred comendo de colher, o exame de Mokolo que eu acho que é feito para monitorar o coração, é o interessante é que de alguma forma ele entende que é para sua saúde, mas não gostei dos tapas que o Kayembe deu na Tusa, ele é uma criança abusada, infelizmente Mokolo não interferiu, se fosse Kebi ele não faria isso.
Grazie per aver condiviso i tuoi pensieri
Why are they training them, it's not a frigging circus. Bad enough the poor things are caged up. 😢 oh I just realised it's so the vets can check them . Right ✅️. 😊
Thanks for seeing the purpose. 👍😁
