Oumbi is having a rest - well he is trying to - under the pavilion and making himself comfortable while Lope is being silly on the other side of the wall. Strutting his stuff, his face covered in wood wool. He does a little twist and beats his chest and then he goes to work on being the most annoying son he can be. He looks around the corner and stares at dad who tries hard to ignore him. Lope beats his chest again and bangs on the wall where his dad is leaning against. The second time he does it, Oumbi hits back at the wall as to say keep it down boy. Lope doesn't give up easily, so he does it again and again. When Lope does his spins and it gone quite Oumbi hits the wall with his fist, like he almost missed Lopes annoying antics. Look at Lope after his spins, he's just resting his head casually on his head lying down. Looking in dads direction and off he goes again. Than he tries a different method coming running from the other site. Oumbi beats his chest. The second time Lope comes round the other site is just so funny, he just pokes his head around the wall slowly and then the rascal throws a stick at dad and beats his chest! We would just love to know what Oumbi is thinking. Looking at his face now, he's starting to get more annoyed and waiting for his sons next move!

Scraping the frozen snow off the wooden platform, Lope the gorilla just loves his frozen snow. When Ozala and his baby brother come up to the platform, he isn't happy. He's just not in the mood for sharing! He beats his chest repeatedly at mum brother Shufai. When that doesn't help, he runs at his baby brother and tries pulling him off the platform. Schufai runs screaming to their mom. The two enjoy the winter ice that the cold weather brought. When Lope approaches again, Ozala defends her youngest by letting Lope know to stay away.

Working in a zoo can be quite dangerous at times, but it pales in comparison to the times it’s made you feel elated to even know these amazing creatures. Being a zoo caretaker lets you get to know these beautiful souls a little bit better and create a tight bond, even become friends. Aside from making sure they remain healthy and adapt to the life in captivity, you get to learn all about their quirks and realize that they might be animals, but they each have their own character, and it’s absolutely amazing. Zoos are great places to encounter wild animals that you might not have seen otherwise in your day to day life. You may never get to see Africa in person, but if you visit the zoo, you might just see a handful of the animals that would normally roam the earth over there. Zoos make us see the animals for what they are when they are surrounded by their tight knit group, we won’t experience the violence and the need for lashing out and hunting, we would only see them in their roles as parents, brothers, sisters, friends and we would realize how similar to us they are. This video just shows us that some things are just bound to stay the same. Shufai the baby gorilla was having a great time playing with some tree branches in Twycross ZOO until his father Oumbi decided to take them all away (since technically he's playing with his food). But when Shufai persists, Oumbi does a total dad move to let him know he's serious! The kid runs after his dad, while the 24-year-old Silverback gorilla gather all the branches from the enclosure and puts them away. Shufai’s older brother Lope knows well to stay away from dad’s path, but the <a href="https://rumble.com/v3vox7-cheeky-lope-the-gorilla-youngster-smacks-adult-on-her-nose.html" target="_blank">gorilla youngster</a> wants his toys back. In an effort to stop dad from removing all of his toys, Shufai tries to grab dad by the foot, but the elder puts him back in his place with a determined, but still very gentle nudge with the foot. Body language is a big deal with these giants and the baby knew that very instant that playtime is over! Instead of chasing after dad, the baby sits on his butt and contemplates his choices, before turning away and running after <a href="https://rumble.com/v3u8cf-motherly-love-is-truly-heartwarming.html" target="_blank">mom</a> Ozala. Shufai was born on September 24, 2016 and is the third baby for 22-year-old mother Ozala and 24-year-old father Oumbi. As well as being a joyous occasion for zoo staff and visitors, the birth is an important part of conservation efforts to save the species, as the number of Western lowland gorillas in the wild has dramatically declined by more than 60% in the last 20-25 years, and scientists predict they will become extinct in the next 20 years or so.

The Silverback western lowland gorilla from the Twycross Zoo is flexing his muscles when he charges over to break up the fighting females. It is quite terrifying to see how powerful the male is and to hear all the screams from the two female gorillas. Lope the eldest son is being his usual self and has a go at Biddy his grandma. Grandma is having none of it this time and pushes Lope away. Ozala that sits beside her sees this and has a go at her mother for having a go at Lope. The watchful eye of the Silverback gorilla Oumbi reacts in an instant, the way a Silverback should and launches himself towards the females, trying to break up the fight between Ozala and Biddy. Little Shufai runs towards the two females the same time Oumbi was moving. He first clung on to Biddi and then when mum emerged he clung on to her back, and was holding on right through the middle of it all. Biddy then got pushed out of the door by Oumbi, and then Oumbi has a go at Ozala. Lope did not get involved at first, he just looked at them, seemingly in shock that he might of caused the fight, but then he did get involved and he went for dad, grabbing his backside. When Oumbi let go and run away, Lope still had a hold of his back. A very noisy Ozala had go at Oumbi, while Oumbi did a few more laps running around until he went into the back to calm down. Biddy came back in from the back entrance. When Oumbi came out from the back again, he went into the corner, still quite agitated looking. Asante comes down from her top bunk, obviously witnessing it all from above. A little later when Oumbi comes out from the back, Lope makes way and you can see Ozala in the back with Shufai . She’s giving Oumbi the evil eye and everybody is staying well clear of the silverback. The most sorry you feel for the baby gorilla Shufai, putting himself in the middle of it all. Oumbi did a great job in breaking up the female fight.Even though Ozala started the fight by overreacting they seem to blame the Silverback. Everything was fine afterwards, no one got physically hurt, only their pride.

A lot of us find it difficult to present our confidence, it is hard to put yourself out there, especially in front of a big audience. We should all be more like this Gorilla youngster named Lope. It seems that he loves to show his confidence off, and doesn't mind when people are watching either. This is a compilation of clips of the gorilla youngster Lope, and it makes everyone laugh when he shows off his signature walk. He seems so confident when he struts around like that, so awesome! Maybe he should get into modelling, his walk is quite impressive! This little guy definitely has some attitude, too funny! Gorillas live in forests of Central Africa and are divided into two species, the eastern gorillas and the western gorillas which are both sadly endangered. They are the largest living primates and have DNA very similar to humans, from about 95 to 99 percent of DNA. That is very cool! They are also the closest living relatives to humans, awesome! Check out this Gorilla named Lope walking around like a human, too funny! Have you ever seen a gorilla close up before? Let us know in the comment section down below!

This gorilla youngster is just amazing. He managed to get through the other side of the electric fence that separates the window and their enclosure just to say hello to the visitors. He moves further down between the fence and the window and starts to contemplate how to get back to the other side of the electric fence to the rest of the group. First he smells the fence careful so he won't touch it with his nose. Now watch him closely, it's just amazing and funny at the same time. He tries to judge the electric fence gap by rocking on his feet and judging with his hands. Rooting for him to make it through to the other site without him getting zapped. Another gorilla comes over to have a look. Wonder what he's thinking. Not feeling to comfortable with getting through the wire gaps, he moves on to another part of the fence and tries again by sticking his arm through the wire gap - judging again. And then relief, happiness, he's done it! He did it like a pro without touching the wire. What a star!

The big gorilla is not having one of his best days. Oumbi is getting agitated by the fact that he can't choose to go inside when he wants to, like he normally can. He's strutting his stuff, beating his chest and taking his frustration out on the rest of the family. The reason for being locked out all day is that their inside enclosure is having a refit with new climbing frames and ropes. The family keeps looking through the windows to see what is going on inside. All that waiting doesn't play well with Oumbi and he lets out his frustration on his family!

Lope the Gorilla youngster makes funny faces from the inside of the flap while Oumbi his huge Silverback dad is on the other side and watches him. But just check out what happens next!

This video is a perfect example of sibling rivalry. It doesn’t matter if you’re seven years old or seventy-seven, a boy or a girl, you will always find the time to prank your sibling. The race, the gender, the animal kingdom you belong to are all moot points when it comes to having a bit of fun with your relative. Apparently, gorillas are quite the pranksters. Check out these popular <a href="https://rumble.com/v3e48o-gorilla-youngster-grabs-and-drags-baby-brother.html">gorilla siblings</a> from the Twycross Zoo in England - you just can't ever stop watching them! There is always something happening in their nook in the zoo. In this instance, Lope the Gorilla youngster is harassing his baby brother by grabbing him several times. He tries to trip him but to no avail. The baby gorilla, however, has other plans. He just knows that no matter how nasty his older brother gets, he would always have his mommy to take care of him. Take a look as this situation "goes down" and wild instincts kick in. The gorilla mama watches over her two little trouble-makers from a distance, but isn’t willing to step in until the last moment. It seems like the older brother has finally crossed the line when he manages to trip the baby with a swipe of his hand. The mom steps in between the two and takes the baby by her side. The little mischievous tot stays back for a few seconds, wanting to gloat, but in true mom fashion, she scolds him and makes him climb on her back to get to safety.

Gorilla mother Ozala is showering her baby Shufai with kisses and cuddles. Watching this heartwarming show of affection highlights the similarities we share with the great apes. A mother's bond with her child is a truly special emotion!

Afia the Western Lowland Gorilla is on top of the climbing frame, while her half sister Ayana is playing with a log and running after dad. Suddenly Afia comes rolling in. She continues to roll and play in front of Jock the Silverback. Ayana and Afia have a little tussle when dad just quickly moves his hand towards them. Ayana then tries to climb on her big sisters back when suddenly another female Gorilla came running in and wanting to get involved. Dad Jock was having none of it and pushed her away. The staff did tell me Jock was a very good dad,always looking out for the two girls.

Lope and Shufai are having a play fight in front of their big silverback dad who is sitting quietly in the corner. When those two are tumbling a bit too close to Oumbi, the Silverback grabs Lope gently and turns him around without any effort. The brothers continue to play, but Lope gives Oumbi just that little glance of disapproval. Shufai continues to play with Lope while Lope is fighting dad’s arm, which is nearly the same size. Dad just can’t stop himself getting involved and keeps grabbing Lope, but Oumbi seems pretty relaxed with it all. Lope decides it’s time to annoy dad some more by trying to grab his face. Little Shufai quickly runs to the other end because he probably knows what is coming. Lope continues by beating his chest in front of Oumbi and just being silly in general. That was the last straw for the silverback as he first pouts his lips and it takes only another chest beat from Lope to make those massive muscles move like a lighting strike launching towards Lope. His son managed to get away, but his dad certainly made his feelings very clear. He is still the boss!

You've might have seen the silverback Gorilla Louis, an 18-year-old male western lowland gorilla that has been in the news for walking upright at the Philadelphia Zoo. Well, this is nothing new for Lope the gorilla youngster from Twycross zoo in England. You have seen him walk like human many times on this channel, but he manages to make it more hilarious every time. He makes everybody laugh with his swagger. The <a href="https://rumble.com/v4g3yj-10-coolest-animal-self-defense-mechanisms.html" target="_blank">coolest</a> kid on the block. The 5-year-old managed to get a big salad during feeding time and walks upright to his favorite spot to sit down and have a few bites. When he had enough, he gets back on his two feet. With his salad still in his mouth, he starts beating his chest, brimming with self-confidence. He moves on with his chest poking out walking down the slope and even walking back up again on his two feet like a human! It doesn’t stop there he does a full round, yes, still on two feet and the best bit is at the end seeing him from his behind waddling towards the entrance of his inside enclosure. Lope is one of two sons of Ozala and dad Oumbi. The <a href="https://rumble.com/v3y7hh-baby-gorilla-gets-kicked-by-dad.html" target="_blank">gorilla</a> family at Twycross consists of 6 members. Oumbi the big male silverback, Ozala the mum of Lope and Shufai. Grandma Bidi and Asante. In 2009 Oumbi joined Twycross zoo to mate with the females. Ozala was Oumbi chosen mate.Lope - was born on the morning of 3 January 2013. Shufai was born on the 24th of September 2016.

This confident baby gorilla named Lope from the Twycross Zoo in Atherstone, England will definitely remind you of a cocky teenager. Watch him hilariously beat his chest!

Oumbi the male gorilla from the Twycross Zoo is the most active just before lunchtime. Like everybody else, he's getting all excited for the food. They are waiting for the doors to close so the keepers can scatter the food outside. Apart from a few outburst that he has to keep his family in check, he is quite happy being mostly just sitting, eating, relaxing and sleeping, which does make you wonder how he gets all those muscles. Well now you'll find out. He's doing his daily routine of pull-ups! Just look how he manages to do them with so much ease! When he does his first pull up you’ll see his mate Ozala in the background running with baby Shufai. After he had his pull-ups he’s running through the enclosure to let everybody know he’s the boss and everybody moves quickly out of his way. Asante is resting up the top and you can see Oumbi having a little dig at her. He continues with some more gym exercise, before he has another go at the others. Oumbi is normally the first one out after lunch, that is if Lope his cheeky son doesn’t get there first! Than it’s Ozala with baby Shufai. Asante the aunt and grandma Bidi are always the last ones to go out and giving all the others the chance of feeding first, until they are getting there share.

Kala, the nine-year-old western lowland gorilla mother at the Bristol Zoo cradles and rocks her baby in her arms. Must see!

From the time that the internet has been around, animal videos have dominated it! There is something about animals that we as people find very fascinating a very funny! Maybe it is because the animals do not realize what they are doing most of the time, that we find so funny! This video is no exception to that also, as this gorilla will surely make you laugh with it's routine! The hilarious gorilla is sliding backwards downhill... well, it's more of a 'creeping' downhill. The mom is very protective of the gorilla's baby brother, so the gorilla has to take different approaches to get to him without mom moving between the two, as she only lets him play with his brother when he isn't aggressive in his approach. In the end it's well worth it, as he has some quality time with his brother! What did you think of this video? Have you ever seen an animal do something like this before? We would love to hear what you think so please do not hesitate to leave a comment down in the comments section! Please share this video with your family and friends as it will surely make them smile and laugh just as we did!

Finally, some real snow for the huge Silverback to enjoy. Oumbi, the Silverback from the Twycross Zoo is braving the cold and heavy snowfall to get himself some snow to eat. Gorillas and also other primates just love snow!

The huge silverback gorilla from the Twycross Zoo in England gracefully masters a tightrope several times. With the weight he's carrying, it's amazing how elegantly he does it!

Damsi is a western lowland gorilla seen here with his mom, Dafina, from the Artis Zoo in the Netherlands. The little baby wants to go and explore his surroundings and wants to say hello to the visitors behind the glass, but his mom is having none of it and keeps pulling her sweet baby back towards her. Damsi doesn't give up and keeps trying his luck!

A hilarious footage has emerged of an over-confident male gorilla exercising dominance in his zoo enclosure. However, his heroic act was tainted with an epic slip up. Who would have known that even a silverback gorilla can slip up? He slipped so much that he did the splits! Adorable! Imagine going to the ZOO to visit all those exotic animals, only to have a 375 pound male gorilla lunge at you in his enclosure! In this clip, we see a massive silverback male showing visitors and other gorillas in his enclosure that he is the alpha! Glass or not, watching a gorilla charge at you only to pound on its chests, is definitely a scary experience! In this video, we are fazed by what the huge mammal is trying to achieve, but eventually, karma takes things in her own hands. This is typical behavior, it is just what male gorillas do. They just exude that dominance and they want to show that any way they can, while making a lot of noise and fuss about it. The pounding of chests and the angry charging, makes gorillas seem pretty scary to be around! In this compilation of several footages, we see a <a href="https://rumble.com/v3tvsr-big-silverback-gorilla-lets-everyone-know-whos-the-boss.html" target="_blank">male silverback gorilla exercising dominance</a> in a zoo enclosure. In the first footage we see a male gorilla pounding his chests, showing the others who’s in charge. Next, he charges straight down the grass with such incredible force, but slips in the process. What an embarrassment for such alpha male, we’re sure! Next time, we hope he learns how to hold his horses, and exercise his dominance elsewhere! We have seen male gorillas in action many times and we know their dominant behavior. If you haven’t stumbled upon <a href="https://rumble.com/v30fng-must-watch-omaha-zoo-silverback-gorilla-attacks.html" target="_blank">harsh gorilla dominance</a>, make sure you stick around for a moment to witness the action as a self-confident male beats his chests for attention. It's all for recognition! The hierarchical organization is typical for many species of gorilla; the only question is what this hierarchy is like. We can say that hierarchically structured teams of gorillas can be of fundamentally dissimilar. First, these are structures with egalitarian dominance. This means that the team has a leader and subordinates. But subordinates have enough freedom of choice, freedom of action in relations with each other and even in relations with the leader. Secondly, it is a rigid despotic structure, like you can clearly see in the video on the top of the page, under which a linear vertical is built, and each higher rank dictates all of its requirements to the lower one. And the inferiors are deprived of the right to vote. Each type of gorilla has its own structure of the collective. Of course, within each species at the population level, there are variations, but, in principle, each structure has a constant structure. The social structures in gorillas are sufficiently well defined and outlined, the rules of behavior are defined within the limits of these structures by species-specific opportunities.

Dr Charlotte Macdonald, the Director of Life Sciences at Twycross Zoo has said that the organisation is very excited about the new arrival, giving a boost to the future of these great apes.

The gorilla family from the Twycross Zoo in England woke up this morning to freezing weather and some snow. Apes just love to eat snow as this Western Lowland Gorilla youngster Lope shows us!
