Baby Gorilla - Jameela's 1st Days in Cleve #3.

This is the 3rd in a series of videos on the new baby gorillas at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Featured is 11 week old baby gorilla Jameela, from the Fort Worth Zoo, Texas, who is searching for a foster mom. You can see Jameela, Kunda and Kayembe in this video. Jameela was born January 5, 2024 to mom, Sekani. Jameela is Sekani's 4th baby, mom is 33.
Birthdates: Mokolo 7/10/87, Fredrika 6/5/74, Nneka 9/23/98, Kebi 1/13/91/ Tusa 12/2/89, and Kayembe 10/26/21, and Kunda 7/19/23, Jameela 1/5/24.
---Baby Jameela arrived in Cleveland on March 27, 2024 -----
CLEVELAND METROPARKS ZOO GORILLA DETAILS:
Mokolo - born at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, he came to Cleveland in 1994. At that time, he joined three younger gorillas to make up Cleveland's Bachelor Group. Eventually, we were left with only 2 gorillas, Mokolo & Bebac, then Bebac died in 2017 (from heart disease-not mentioned in the video). Mokolo is now 36 years old. He is the dad of Kayembe and Kunda. Females were brought to Cleveland starting in the Spring of 2017
Fredrika - At 49 years old, she is the oldest adult female in the troop. She is Kayembe's surrogate mom She has raised four babies of her own. She came to Cleveland from Zoo Miami in April of 2017.
Kebi - (Kebi Moyo) she came from the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium in May of 2017. She had her first baby at the age of 8. Kebi's first baby is named Kambera Dupe and she is currently at Zoo Atlanta. Kebi is now 32 years old.
Nneka - born in San Francisco. She came to Cleveland in April 2018. She gave birth to Cleveland's FIRST baby gorilla in 2021 (a male named Kayembe). She is 25 years old. Nneka's first baby was raised by its grandmother because Nneka did not show any proper maternal care then (San Francisco Zoo). Today, Fredrika is raising Nneka’s second baby, Kayembe. Again Nneka, did not show proper maternal care for this baby either.
Tusa - she is the smallest and lowest ranking adult in the troop. She arrived in Cleveland in May of 2019 from the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo in New Mexico. Tusa is 32, but has her 33rd birthday on December 2nd. Tusa was hand reared by humans, and she can get very vocal when upset.
Kayembe - has the honor of being the first baby gorilla born at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. He was born October 26, 2021, and is two years old now. Like most toddlers, he is very active. He plays most often with Fredrika and Nneka. His birth mom is Nneka, dad is Mokolo.
Kunda - is the second baby gorilla born at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. She was born July 19th 2023. Her mom is Kebi and her dad is Mokolo.
Jameela - born via c-section to Sekani in Fort Worth Texas zoo. Sekani is 33 years old and Jameela was her 4th baby. Sekani did not accept Jameela after recovering from her c-section. A search for a foster mom led her to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
The Conservation status of the Western Lowland gorilla is “Critically Endangered”.

She's gonna fit in just fine. She's clearly been accepted by her new Mommy. Zoo visitors will just have to be patient & understand a new baby in the troop makes ALL the gorillas on edge to protect it. Respect their binding process ❤

I'm in Fort Worth and have been following Jameela and her progress since her amazing birth here at our zoo. I'm very hopeful that Cleveland will be the place she finds a new family. I was happy to find a channel that will keep us informed about her and I subscribed right away. Thanks, Larry, for doing all this.

Mokolo is still so attentive. He just might foster her himself. Kayembe is really starting to resemble Nneka.

[@HSR-bk5qb]

He might just do what Shabani did.

[@dmoore2732]

You mean Shabani personally cared for his babies? I didn't start watching his family until the kids were toddlers. Mac, in Columbus was the same way.@@HSR-bk5qb

[@gorillabff1003]

💯 Love it!! Silverback Shabani in Japan watched over his little girl Annie while she was separated from the troop being hand raised by keepers. His devotion to his daughter was amazing! And continues to be since Annie is 11 years old this year and still such a Daddy’s girl. I noticed Mokolo’s interest in the baby as well. I love these wonderful beings so dearly. They are incredible. 🦍♥️

[@cannga1]

Thanks Larry for your time and effort. I would like to think maybe your great video documentation of this group and Kayembe’s successful integration contribute to Cleveland being selected for Jameela. 👍🙂

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Thank you for the compliment. 👋😁

[@shawna6683]

So Larry, were you able to glean any information about the introductions process? I would love to know what is going on with the keepers and the whole troop. Jameela has been there since Thursday. You are a Hero for this video! 😊 Also, the keeper from Fort Worth, I hope she gets to stay a while. This has to be breaking her heart 💜.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

It’s turning out to be a slower process than I thought it would be. Cleveland Zoo has released just one 30 second clip so far. Have you seen it on Cleveland’s public Facebook page lately? Our 2 year old Kayembe got super (happy) excited - a little too much. He was jumping and twirling all around. I imagine that will mean it’s a slow start. I’ll give more later- I’ll be right back… I visited Sunday also, I’m hoping to have that video out Tuesday morning. And I’ll be there today too.

[@springwisteria5171]

@@larrysanimalsafari Not only they have to find a surrogate mom who will protect and care for Jameela 24/7 but they also have to make sure that Mokolo will not commit infanticide since she isn't his offspring (though chances of that are less likely since she didn't come with a nursing mom who cannot breed) . I won't be surprised if the process takes more than a few weeks for keepers to be absolutely sure that the safety of Jameela is guaranteed.

[@bonnieferrell8571]

I also feel very sad for the Fort Worth keeper raising this little baby since it was born has got to be very hard to think about leaving her in Cleveland. I'm sure she hopes all works out for Jameela because she needs a gorilla mommy. But I'm sure that if will still be very hard to leave her behind.

[@m.w.976]

​​@@springwisteria5171*I recently started following this troop, and your comment was quite informative, thank you! "Infanticide"? While I am aware anything is possible, I thought silverbacks were the great protectors, especially of gorilla children. I hope Baby Jameela will be welcomed and raised with Kunda and Kayembe.*

Wow! The video we've all been waiting for❣I can't thank you enough, Larry! 🤩 It's so wonderful to see Mokolo and Freddie taking an interest in wee Jameela - if they accept her, the rest of the troupe will follow suit. Bless Kayembe - he's so excited to have another little 'sister' and is doing all his best tricks for her. ❤ I guess it's because of her rough start in life, but baby Jameela does not seem to be at all shy. I loved the way she called out to the troupe the very first time she saw them - brave little girl. I hope the introductions continue to go well and she finds a new Mama.🙏🥰

[@larrysanimalsafari]

We’re hoping for the best.

Sorry voor het late antwoord, misschien heb je het inmiddels gehoord, Freddie hield Jameela gisteren (woensdag) 2 uur vast. Mokolo en Kayembe waren er ook. Alles ging goed - ik denk dat ze Freddie Jameela elke dag een beetje laten vasthouden totdat ze klaar zijn om haar gewoon bij Freddie achter te laten. kijken om te zien hoe alles zich afspeelt.

BTW, the Fort Worth Zoo said on their Facebook page, Jameela is still technically theirs, she is just on loan to Cleveland to allow the gorilla troop in Cleveland to raise her and then she will come back to Fort Worth when she’s grown.

Oh, thanks. I suppose when she is close to maturity they and the AZA/Gorilla SSP folks will work that all out. Thanks for reminding me about Fort Worth FB page 👍

Bom dia! Oi Larry! Fico ansiosa quando Kameela está perto das grades, fico torcendo para que os gorilas tenham uma reação mais animada, Ver Jameela com o tratador parada me dói o coração, ela ja vocalizou, ela viu Kayembe e se animou, mas ainda vejo só Kayembe olhando, mas não o tempo todo e Fed passando, Mokolo também ficou olhando, não sei se é um bom sinal, mas estou achando lento, o Zoo tem um plano B se essa família não mostrar interesse?

[@larrysanimalsafari]

enho boas notícias, colocaram Jameela com Fredrika, Mokolo e Kayembe. Freddie pegou Jameela e a segurou por 2 horas. Parece que ela foi aceita e isso é uma ótima notícia. Você não precisa mais se preocupar. --obrigado por assistir, por favor, acompanhe.

[@mentayflor]

I think Jameela is too small yet to let her into the troop alone. Even Keyembe could be a danger for her

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Oh, have you seen Kunda? She was born into this troop, yet she is very small. Her mother Kebi has to keep Kayembe from hurting her. I think Jameela will be okay.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

It went very well.

[@pattymelt-go3fv]

Thanks Larry...for all you do. I was just going to ask why they aren't given balls and blankets...like they do at The Koyoto Zoo. At least they have balls....feeder balls. But not play balls? That 2 year old needs toys...IMHO He needs picture boards and tablets to be able to learn numbers. You know I'm crazy and wish the Gorillas could have more stimulation and things so they can learn about the human world. I think they would love magazines..picture books. Imitation of a natural environment...at the zoo I think it's good but also pretty silly. The Gorillas live in our world now and should be educated about our world as much as possible.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

IMO seems this zoo wants to limit human interaction with the gorillas. That may have something to do with having infants/toddler around to allow natural bonding to occur between mothers and their offspring. After all, two off our three youngsters didn’t have ideal starts in their lives (not being raised by their birth moms).

I love to see gorillas! But, I'm still bothered that we keep animals in captivity in zoos. I don't know why we allow it. Let them stay free in their natural habitat, where they can run free with unlimited space. They were never meant to be locked up. 😢

[@larrysanimalsafari]

But they don’t have unlimited space. As a matter of fact the wild populations of most gorillas in the wild is drastically declining. Zoos offer a life line by education the public, raising awareness and money to help fund conservation programs to help save the wild populations.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Ой. Джамилу кормили люди детским питанием. Она набирает вес и выглядит очень здоровой. Однако для того, чтобы горилла жила полноценной жизнью, лучше всего, чтобы ее вырастила горилла. Фредрика ухаживала за Каембе. Она сможет кормить Джамилу, у Фредрики есть молоко. Зоопарк дополнил питание детенышей горилл дополнительными бутылочками молочной смеси. Это может произойти, если понадобится. Но, похоже, Фредрика приняла маленькую Джамилу. они просто ждут, чтобы оставить ее там на весь день - это скоро произойдет.
