From Barrel Punches to Popcorn Shufai’s Busy Day at Tycross Zoo

*From barrel punches to popcorn, Shufai at Tycross Zoo. His mother Ozala chases him for misbehaving. Silverback Oumbi eats below while Biddy watches.*

Gorilla Shufai from Tycross Zoo is dismounting the platform, runs to the new barrel and punches it. His mother Ozala was on the other side and not pleased with him doing that, so she chased after him. Ozala stares at him, giving him the evil eye until he moves away. Moments later, you can see in her stance that Ozala is still not happy with him. If it was Lope he wouldn't have stopped, but Shufai took the hint and moved away. Ozala relaxed and sat down so did Shufai.
A little later, Shufai comes out with a lot of wood wool, holding it in his arms and rolls through the grass with it.
He enjoys sitting in the tree and eating his leaves. Silverback Oumbi down below. Eating a leave and getting his branch take away to eat inside. Shufai is sitting on the stone like it's a chair and having some more browse.
At lunch time they had some popcorn. Not a lot, but at least something other than just cabbage. Shufai and Ozala had most of it.
Biddy kept her eye on the silverback. Ozala eats her cabbage on the slope.
Asante has some leaves by the tree.
Next Friday back to the the Gorilla Greenhouse at Beauval's Zoo, France.
