Gorillas on a Tomato Binge – Frankfurt Zoo

*A compilation of Tomato binging from the Frankfurt Zoo Gorillas *

Gorila N'gambe cleans her tomato, with Xetsa next to her. Then, Rebecca arrives and takes a look. As you'll see, there are tomatoes everywhere, so it's not like N'gambe is lacking any. She carries on eating without a care. When Rebecca leaves, N'gambe grabs a couple of tomatoes for herself, for now at least. Arco and Wela get as many tomatoes as they can, and Wela even gets a red pepper.

Rebecca, meanwhile, has a tomato stash that will last her a while. It’s wonderful to see the gorillas choosing what and when they want to eat. Rebecca heads up to their hidden space, which connects to the smaller area. Xetsa gets a lot of tomatoes too.

In the smaller area, Silverback Viatu holds his tomato with his toes so they don't roll off the rock. Wela grabs some more food while walking off upright, her mum Shira enjoying her tomatoes. Wela fishes for something in the blue bucket, and as her mum walks by upright, she carries lots of other food. Wela gets whatever it is in the bucket of water. N'gambe continues happily eating and pulling apart her tomatoes.

It’s fascinating how each gorilla has their own quirks when it comes to enjoying food, and they can be just as particular as us. The others find N'gambe's eating habits quite interesting too, as even the Silverback takes a look. He moves on to get his own.

In two weeks, you'll see more from the Frankfurt troop. Next week back To Twycross Zoo Gorillas.
