Thank you for that update, Larry. I'm so happy that it's going well. Our little wild boy needs to take a chill pill but he's still a baby himself! Well, a toddler. I think that's worse!!! We still love you, Kayembe!!!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

👍😁

[@RapaxGuardian]

The adults be like "Free baby, awesome." But Kayembe is like "omg I'm a big brother this is awesome I can't wait to show her all the best spots and all the best sticks!! 🤩"

[@larrysanimalsafari]

🤣 👏👏😁

[@neptunes3279]

Thank you Larry. I watched the first update and Kayembe was very excited to meet Jameela. I would imagine like a human toddler, toddler gorillas can feel a bit jealous about having to share mum. I look forward to further updates on Jameela and all her lovely family.

[@vjc2270]

Thanks so much for the update, Larry! 🙏 It's super-helpful to have your insights, given that you're so familiar with the Mokolo troupe. I saw the zoo's footage and was a really interested to see that they're trying to train Kayembe to be calmer around the baby. He and Jameela were holding hands through the wire, which was very cute. ❤ Kayembe is just so excited about both Kunda and Jameela, bless him, but hopefully he'll be a quick study and learn to be gentle so Jameela can join the troupe full-time. 🤞😃 Thanks again for all the effort you put in to bring us these videos - your work is very much appreciated!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Thank you 👍😁

[@lindapelle8738]

I saw the video Cleveland zoo put out of Fredricka picking up Jameela within seconds, it was just so sweet. But I think Kayembe wanted to hold her too, he was overly excited about his new little sister. 😅Fredricka is a rockin momma.❤ thank you for the update Larry!

[@julierecker2416]

Maybe you can answer a question for me. They are mesh training Jameela and Freddie for bottle feeding. Won't Jameela be breast fed by Freddie once she is with her all the time?? I've been curious about this because I know that they can give her hormones to help her lactate. Do you know anything about this?? Thanks for your videos 😊

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Kayembe currently eats browse on his own, nurses from Freddie and receives a bottle from the keepers. He started off on all bottles then transitioned to bottles supplementing nursing. I imagine Jameela will receive “bottles” from keepers and nurse from Freddie. Same as Kayembe did. Will watch and see.

[@bepje18158]

Fingers crossed🤞🙏🥰all goes well so far👏👍baby steps..😍❤️🌞🌻

[@larrysanimalsafari]

👍🤔. Baby steps is a Good way to put it.

[@ninawest8]

Is Kayembe still drinking a bottle too? He should be, babies nurse to about 4 yrs. old.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

I have seen him drinking from a bottle recently, so that answer is a yes. 👍

[@drench1]

Not sure if anyone would know the answer to this, but I will ask anyway. My assumption is that gorilla families in captivity mimic a similar family structure to that which could be found in the wild. By this I mean, a typical family has a silverback as head of the family along with "his" other females, their offspring, young adults, etc. It's my understanding that a wild silverback kills any infants which are not of his descent. Assuming this zoo has a silverback which I assume will eventually come into contact with the adopted infant, how do the zoo's modify the animals instincts to not kill this adopted infant?

[@larrysanimalsafari]

I’ve read research that some Silverbacks have accepted orphans from other troops. Guess we’ll let the folks at the zoo figure this one out. A different note- columbus Ohio zoo just had a gorilla give birth (July 2023) - it was fathered by a 10 year old in the troop/not the Silverback. FYI it was a gorilla that was presumed to be a male that was actually a female (name is Sully). I don’t know if that Silverback was engaging in any “adult activity” with Sully to tip off the keepers that Sully was a female.

[@drench1]

@@larrysanimalsafari interesting. thank you for replying. I was just curious about it. In addition to what you mentioned about some accepting others, I wondered if a silverback born and raised in captivity is able to be trained / encouraged to not act on those instincts. This is just a guess, but maybe given their safe protected environment in a zoo with access to food and not having to worry about other silverbacks changes their behavior (along with training) thereby allowing them to be more accepting than they might be in the wild.

[@tuckergraham846]

My guess is It’s time they let the baby go already and let the gorillas sort things out

[@larrysanimalsafari]

🤷‍♂️

[@laurelbozman6997]

You're late. This is old news. Peat and repeat

[@abbyd323]

That's ok! Maybe some people hadn't seen the update yet. I know I hadn't until this one

[@shellos8]

The Cleveland Zoo just released a video reporting the same information just 10 hours ago. That's not old news!

[@linnaellis212]

Don’t be mean

[@larrysanimalsafari]

@shellos8 thank you. Not everybody sees the zoos release.

[@sassyt1545]

I’m so happy that I stumbled upon Larry’s channel when I became interested in Jameela’s story. It’s a lovely channel and Larry presents the videos in such a pleasant, informative format. He comes across as a caring and kind person. Perhaps you could take a page out of Larry’s book.
