This is a female Eastern lowland gorilla named Amahoro from the Antwerp Zoo. She was born in 1990 and came to Antwerp Zoo in 1994. Amahoro seems to love her turnips. She picks the vegetable up with each of her feet walks with them, puts one in her mouth and as many as she can carry with her hands. You can see Matadi eating in the back. She glances a few time at him, like she's checking if he notices that she is taking all the turnips. She's taking them to a platform and enjoys her meal.

Mambele the gorilla seems hypnotized when these bubbles first fly past her. She then tries to catch it with her hands, but can't figure out why they disappear. She also uses her tongue to try to catch them!

Open wide! Look at those teeth! This hippopotamus is having a great time playing with that log. Grabbing it, pushing it around and sinking it. Such a powerful animal and really enjoying his pool. The Hippo is from the Antwerp zoo in Belgium. The weather is hot and the hippopotamus is having fun.

N’Dowe (pronounced Endovay), the Western lowland silverback gorilla from the Paignton Zoo in England, loves to move around his freshly cut habitat with his blanket and refuses to let go of it!

The rare bonobos getting a summers treat on this hot day. They enjoy the ice with juice that much that they can't stop licking it. When one seems to get more than the other, a fight breaks out with the other ape getting pushed and even kicked. The normal docile bonobos that are our closest relatives start to display. There are more than one ice treat in the enclosure, but what would be the fun in just going to the other one? Many people think they are Chimpanzees, but although they are very similar and both are closely related to humans, the bonobo is a lot slender in appearance. With the Chimpanzees the males are the dominant, but the bonobo the females. Unfortunately like a lot of other animals they are threatened by habitat loss and human population growth. Twycross zoo is helping the bonobos getting back to the wild by supporting the Conservation Welfare fund with the daily running of the sanctuary Lola ya Bonobo.

Mother Nature can surprise us more every day, especially when it comes to the oceans, since nobody knows what is hidden in the depths of some oceans, so the oceans remain a mystery to most people, there are even people that fear the ocean. There are new creatures that are often found at the bottom of the sea and this generates insecurity and panic in some people, although for others it is a historical fact that you should know how to appreciate, since it is something that is not seen every day. It is necessary that we respect the maritime rules, since they were created mainly for our well-being, often people tend to ignore these rules, but in some cases they tend to be fundamental for survival. In this case, we can see how the people in the container ship are a little scared, but they know how to stay calm, and that is very important. Most people think that the oceans are the biggest mystery on the planet, and that is something that should not be questioned. Each monkey has a very different personality and brings a different specialty to the sessions. People gravitate towards a certain horse or, more often, a monkey will gravitate towards them and then the real magic begins. Monkeys are exceptionally affectionate, playful and even patient. People describe their time at the Mane Intent differently but all agree that the ten gentle souls that make up this herd are truly unique. For many, the visit is a very moving and emotional experience that can drastically change their outlook. These monkeys are capable of connecting with people in a way that has to be seen to be believed. The question on your mind is, why is Jambo hairless? People also call him the 'naked chimp'. Some people think they shaved him or that he is ill. The truth is, the ape has Alopecia, a medical term for hair loss and he had it since adolescence. He is now 35 years old and with his hair gone you can simply see how powerfully muscular he is. Being a hairless chimpanzee hasn't stopped him from anything, rather the opposite as he's the alpha male and rules his <a href="https://rumble.com/v3qnwi-elegant-stingrays-in-their-underwater-habitat.html" target="_blank">habitat</a>! Jambo the hairless <a href="https://rumble.com/v69495-when-monkey-plays-piano-at-ipad.html" target="_blank">chimp</a> from the Twycross Zoo in England is seen here balancing on the rope. He doesn't look like the most comfortable ape up there and is wobbling quite a bit. It was definitely easier getting up then down. The last bits he decides to just slide the rest of the way, trying to balance carefully! What do you think about this video? Make sure you tell us more in the comments down below. If you like what you see, don’t forget to share it with others who might like it as well. It just might be the highlight of their day! Enjoy!

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!

It's like the meerkats are watching a WWE match, they look that excited and intrigued. This is a mixed enclosure for the Gorillas, at the Artis Zoo in the Netherlands. The gorillas and Meerkats live together, they've also got some Diana Monkeys, but I only spotted them in the corner of my eye high above. The gorillas decided they have a chase and a squabble and the meerkats are watching it all with interest. Even though they nearly get run over by the western lowland gorillas, they're coming back to watch some more and edging forward slowly. They don't seem to want to miss anything. When the gorillas decide they have a chase, the meerkats start to jump up and down like crazy like they want to get a better view of what is happening next and where the western lowland gorillas are. The nimble meerkats quickly jump out of the way when the primates come back round and continue to watch them. I know some worry about the meerkats being together with the gorillas that they might get hurt. The meerkats seem to know what they letting themselves in for. Meaning they aren't hiding away in their own dens or spaces, which they have. They actively spent time close to the gorillas. They're so nimble that they can can quickly move out of the way.

The keepers of the Twycross Zoo worked hard to get a huge ball into the gorilla's outdoor enclosure. They lifted it over the glass wall, lowered the ball and then dragged it up the slope. Then they put honey on the ball and did all the other usual daily activities to hide food around the enclosure. The silverback gorilla Oumbi is watching from the window as a keeper pushes some food bits into the hole of the ball. When he comes outside instead of heading for the ball, he leads for some salad instead. When Lope comes out, he already has some mixture, and he squeezes to the wall as much as he can, so not to go near the ball. He licks the honey of the windowsill, then has a quick look at the ball, but avoids it. Later when he comes back, he looks at the ball again, like it's alien and then just jabs it. The western lowland gorilla gets a bit closer to look into the hole, but still just pokes it. When he does it a third time, it makes him jump out of the way, and he just looks at it like what is this thing?! Even though he should have got used to it by now as they had it in the inside a while back, but he did avoid it then as well. For the rest of the day, he just avoided it altogether and was just happy with the salad. Who else thinks that this video is absolutely adorable? Lope is so curious & brave. No one else wanted anything to do with the ball but Lope. Even Oumbi didn't care. This is probably our favorite gorilla family. They are so cute, so smart, and they always put a smile on our faces. We loved the way Lope curiously looks at the ball and waits to see if it is going to come back at him, and we love seeing more videos of him playing with the ball, and eating lettuce. The more we learn about <a href="https://rumble.com/v4gkct-when-gorillas-use-teamwork-doubled-down-on-us.html" target="_blank">gorillas</a>, the more impressed we are. This is extraordinarily interesting to see Lope exercise critical thinking and reasoning between his curiosity to examine this new "object" within his home and his personal need to remain safe. These great beings never fail to amaze! We are sending them 1000 hugs and kisses as they are precious family and we love them!

This penguin is working hard to provide much needed nesting material for its partner. First he tries to break some sticks of a bush. He isn't giving up and tries again and again. He pulls vigorously, but doesn't seem to have a lot of success. You would wish you could snap some sticks off for him! He is more successful when he is pulling on the grass. All for his beloved mate.

Every kid wants to go to the zoo. Having the opportunity to see all those animals up close and personal, but without the fear of actually getting attacked by one can be very educational. Even as adults, this pure pleasure has not changed. We don’t know about you, but we love going to the zoo! Spending a whole day seeing animals of all kinds is absolutely amazing and, like most people, we take photos to make lasting memories! This precious video was filmed at the <a href="https://rumble.com/v30fng-must-watch-omaha-zoo-silverback-gorilla-attacks.html" target="_blank">zoo</a> in the Netherlands, and we believe that you will absolutely love it. This gorilla loves eating a carrot, but before he eats them, he needs to clean them first. Nobody wants to eat dirty food, right? Just like us humans, this gorilla prefers his carrots peeled! Watch him closely as he first wipes off all the dirt from the hay and then peels each carrot with his teeth and spits it out. He also chops off the ends before he starts eating it! Filmed in Ouwehand Zoo in the Netherlands. The more we learn about gorillas, the more impressed we are. The next time we see a gorilla throwing out pieces of carrots from the mouth, we will know he or she is just cleaning them. Good job, we are very impressed! Everybody likes their food a certain way, including gorillas! My how smart they are, and they don't have to be trained, just instinct that the creator gave them! Another fantastic insight to these obviously highly intelligent creatures. Who would have thought that this Gorilla does not like the skin on its carrots? We are learning so much about gorillas and every time we learn something new about them we are more and more impressed of them. Gorillas are strong and brilliant animals. They are the world's biggest primates, with male gorillas weighing around 143-169kg and remaining about 1.4-1.8m tall. Females will, in general, be 20-30cm shorter and generally weigh half what the guys do. A male gorilla's arm length is colossal, extending 2.3-2.6m, while female gorilla's arm ranges are relatively smaller. <a href="https://rumble.com/viral/v1240872-baby-gorillas-vs-big-brother.html" target="_blank">Gorillas</a> have shown in many ways that they are highly intelligent animals. They have been seen a lot of times using tools for eating, bamboo as a ladder to help their babies climb and even using sticks to measure water depth. How impressing is that? Did you know that all gorillas have unique fingerprints?

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!

This Bonobo ape from the Twycross Zoo in England is having so much fun sliding down the slope. Even his younger siblings try to get in on the action! Formally called the pygmy chimpanzee, the dwarf or gracile chimpanzee the Bonobos are part of the great ape family and are our closest living relatives, sharing around 98% of our DNA. Like so many animals these ape species are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List and is threatened by habitat destruction and human population growth. Twycross Zoo is the only zoo in Great Britain that breeds the Bonobos, which are often mistaken for chimpanzees. Like so many animals these ape species are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List and is threatened by habitat destruction and human population growth. There is something sweet in monkeys. They are playful, cute and brilliant. Baby monkeys are the same as human <a href="https://rumble.com/v6vrsb-capuchin-monkey-missed-grandma.html" target="_blank">monkeys</a>, they are sweet and helpless, and that makes them irresistible. They are just like little kids, and they love to play, have fun and enjoy their lives! The bonobo, also historically called the pygmy chimpanzee and less often, the dwarf or gracile chimpanzee, is an endangered great ape and one of the two species making up the genus Pan; the other being the common chimpanzee. Bonobos are one of humankind’s closest living relatives, sharing more than 98% of our DNA. They are known as ‘love’ animals. Bonobo monkey groups are harmony cherishing and populist. Bonobos are considered to have a matriarchal society, implying that females have higher economic wellbeing than guys and social cooperations are female-focused and female-commanded. Females have stable social bonds among themselves. However, they don't exclude males. They are caring, amazing, animals who have playful souls and caring personality whether it is for their friends or it is for their family! This <a href="https://rumble.com/v37s9d-amazing-bonobo-mothers-always-there-to-help-the-baby.html" target="_blank">Chimpanzee mother gives helping hand to baby</a> and it’s the cutest thing ever! A cute hungry baby pygmy chimpanzee (bonobo) from the Twycross Zoo in England desperately attempts to get up to the ledge where its mother is. When it doesn't manage to do it, mom is there to give a helping hand! She reaches out for the little one and pulls it up. What an incredible moment that melts our hearts! Please don’t forget to share this incredible monkey and spread love and joy with your friends and family!

This is Kera the Gorilla from the Bristol Zoo. She already had all her food but is seen clapping to get some more from the keepers. She was very ill when her daughter Afia was born so she couldn't look after her. Kera's favorite food are chives and when she wants feeding she likes to clap!

Afia got her hands on a t-shirt and gets herself in a jam and starts to slam the shirt repeatedly. When it starts to rain, she got hold of a jumper, but she isn't happy with that one either!

These are the Orangutan siblings from the Twycross Zoo in England. Kayan has climbed on mom's back and tries to pull herself up on the flap. She then spots her half brother on the other side of the door, trying to give her a kiss through the flap. She responds and it just looks so cute! 40 years old female Kibriah gave birth to the youngest group member, girl Kayan, born in June 2017. The older baby, boy Basuki, was born to Maliku in March 2017 and the group is complete with the boy’s seven years old sister Molly and the impressive male Batu.

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.

A baby tapir from the Chester Zoo in England comes outside with its mom. He still got all his stripes, which he will lose when he's about 6 month old. He goes to investigate the mud puddle instead of using their nice clean pool. When he gets out of the mud puddle, all the mud is running down his legs, making the ground very slippery for him and the poor baby slips back in the puddle. He doesn't seem to mind and comes back for some more mud treatment. When he had enough he suddenly jumps out of the puddle runs like crazy along the grass and then he has fun chasing off all the magpies in his enclosure. Who would have known a tapir can run that fast? Such a cutie. When his parents decide to go back in again he runs after them with such speed that he can&'t seem to stop himself and bumps into dad, making him slip.

If you ever needed proof of just how closely we are related to apes, then this video should do the trick. Shot in the orangutan enclosure in the Twycross zoo in the UK, a baby orangutan tried showing a little bit of sass, but got interrupted by none other than his fearsome dad. The male borneo orangutan Batu is following his son Basuki through the outdoor enclosure. He keeps trying to grab his son, but his son is getting away. Basuki is tumbling and stumbling and then climbs the net. He is not out of reach, so Batu pulls his son down. When the big male opens his mouth it looks quite scary with his big teeth showing as if he wants to bite the little babies head. He then carries Basuki away, until Basuki wiggles free again and is trying once more to get away. Dad follows and grabs him again by his little arms and drags him and pushes him inside the door. Batu was very determined to get his son inside and Basuki really didn't want to go. He did manage in the end, but it wasn't long before Basuki escaped again and came outside heading for the climbing net. When Batu came out again, little Basuki quickly headed for his mom. Did you know that orangutans have the slowest known life histories of any mammal on the planet? Basically, they take their sweet time growing up and they take even more time to reproduce. Baby orangutans depend on their moms for the first two years of their lives, hanging onto them for transport until they are as old as 5 years of age. They can even breastfeed on their mom’s milk until they are 8! When they get too old or too big to be carried around, they still stick to their moms by holding hands, which is called buddy travel. Orangutan dads almost never take part in the upbringing of their young, so seeing this kind of interaction between dad Batu and naughty boy Basuki is quite rare. <a href="https://rumble.com/v31tdg-rare-newborn-baby-gorilla-in-moms-arms.html" target="_blank">Twycross Zoo</a> was established in 1963 by Molly Badham and Nathalie Evans, two women from Evesham in Worcestershire who started handling wild animals in their respective pet shops. Ms. Badham became an expert of primates in captivity, providing chimps for as a way to raise funds for the zoo. One of her primate protegees even went on to become a movie star, appearing in a Hammer Horror film with Peter Cushing. Twycross Zoo now houses around 500 animals of almost 150 species, including many endangered ones. It is renowned as a “specialist primate zoo” and is the only zoo in the United Kingdom to exhibit all four types of great ape: bonobo, chimpanzee, orangutan and gorilla. Twycross currently houses 13 bonobos, 20 chimps, four <a href="https://rumble.com/v6nbav-rescued-orangutan-becomes-surrogate-mother-to-orphaned-infant.html" target="_blank">orangutans</a> and five gorillas. About 37% of their animal collection is classed as near threatened, vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered by the IUCN. Many of their animals are part of conservation breeding programs which help ensure a future for species threatened with extinction.

This is Coco, the mother of Jambo. She also has alopecia like her son Jambo, but hasn't quite lost all of her hair. She has been with Twycross Zoo since 1969. She was born in 1965. She seems to enjoy getting her nose picked by what looks like her daughter. She has a real good go at mom's nose. Gross!

The little kid has a pink flamingo toy and waves it about in front of the penguin enclosure of the Chester Zoo in England. The penguins can't get enough of it, swimming to catch up with the bright toy!

The zoo staff threw lots of different bottles filled with juice over the wall into the habitat for the gorilla family to drink. Lope grabbed one of the bottles and is trying to open it with its teeth. First on the site and then he has a go at the lid, but he doesn’t notice that most of is leaking out now. He then grabs some food that was scattered on the grass earlier and walks to a shadier place. There he found a new bottle and has another go at it, but the same happens again. You can see the juice squirting out of the bottom of the bottle. Lope is not someone that gives up and tries again, third time lucky, with the orange bottle. He gives it his all, holding the bottle with his feet and hands and trying to turn the lid again and hey presto he manages to open it properly this time. He drinks out of the bottle like a pro and again does his human swagger and parades the bottles through the enclosure.

This pygmy marmoset is looking from side to side, being nosy of what is behind the glass. He then continues to eat with some passion, revealing his needle sharp teeth. Have you ever seen them this close? The new world monkey is one of the smallest primate. These are from the the Dudley Zoo in England. They're always at the window and are very curious.

These are the pink inflatable men, the performers art group called La Grande Phrase with choreography from Cie Didier Theron entertain bewildered shoppers down the New Street. The main shopping street in Birmingham England. Many people ask where can I get that suit? There certainly entertaining the crowds. Something different not everyone seen before. Dancing around lamp posts, jumping on flower beds, handstands and more.
