An amazing group of professionals at this facility. Thank you so much for the excellent care to these magnificent gorillas. ❤️ Angels and animals.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

They are a great group 👏👏👏. Thanks for following along. 😁

[@OlgaShinault]

Freddie should get the lifetime Best Mother Ever award. I just love her.

[@cameliad3522]

Absolutely!🤗💖

[@HayleysComet3]

She is always watching the 2 year old and making sure he doesn’t hurt the new baby, carefully turning to keep the baby out of his striking range. It’s cute when he is not so exuberant and he kisses his sister. Freddie really is such a kind and gentle mother.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

@HayleysComet3 👍

[@alliecat8348]

That is one very patient and tolerant lady 😊

[@19th-Nervous-Breakdown]

She deserves something special for Mothers Day.

Freddie is such a great mom!! Jameela is holding on for dear life!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

🤣👍👍

[@elainebines6803]

Thank goodness for Freddie, bless her!. Nearly 50 and taking on these duties. Absolutely marvelous. Also, shows what a great job the Zoo has been doing in taking care of Freddie - because at her age, great that she is still fit and well enough to be a foster mum 💞

[@learoman2526]

Yeah. You are right 👍👍👍👍👍

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Thanks for sharing, again.

[@78LedHead]

Freddie is literally a saint. She should be made patron saint of gorillas. You can't tell me animals don't have a spirit/soul. Most humans wouldn't be as selfless as her.

Freddie is an amazing mum! Keyembe is so funny and of course Jameela is too precious, as always. Thank you for giving us a new and beautiful video. I really appreciate you

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Thank you Ann! 👋😁

[@neptunes3279]

Freddie is doing an awesome job of being mum to two little ones. You can see she's trying to give Kayembe attention, but obviously has to prioritize Jameela. Hold on Kayembe, you've got two little sisters who will soon be big enough to play, just hold on for a few more months. 💖💖🦍

[@78LedHead]

She is something else. True selflessness right there on display.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

[@kimgainous7353]

[@paulawoosley1241]

I second that! Great job Larry😎

[@karijordan4930]

It's so amazing to see Freddie be such a great attentive mom to both Kayembe and Jameela. When Kayembe wanted to play Freddie was protecting Jameela at the same time she was being understanding towards Kayembe's urge to play. It's the gracefulness & gentleness of her movements toward Kayembe when he got a little too aggressive in his movement towards Jameela. Freddie just touched/stroked him away so that Kayembe will learn to be gentle with Jameela. If she was too aggressive with him & pushed him away he might've felt jealousy but not this mommy, she really does treat them both the same and gives her attention equally as if to say, especially to Kayembe, "you both are my babies & you both are important to me & I love you both so much"! What a great mommy! WOW Miss Freddie!!!!

Little Miss Jameela just LOVES Mama Freddie! SO love to see that sweet little face laying on dear Freddie. I hope that whatever new enclosure they are building, it has plenty of safe playing spaces for all three babies, and I hope they keep working with Nneka to interact more with her baby boy so Freddie can take care of Jameela.

[@oliviatwine1473]

Freddie is hungry this morning!

[@kelleybutler9203]

She eating for two again, herself but also nursing. Freddy’s truly is an amazing alpha gorilla and always has been. They talk about how intelligent, socially savvy and of course tons of wisdom. Unlike some young gorillas that are alpha like Freddy’s always been, they can be bullying and mean at times but the keepers and primatologist talk about how Freddy has always been very alpha but she was so clever and never had to bully or be mean to a lower ranking gorilla. As they get older it’s easier but for Freddy to display the calmness and more calculating approach to issue was amazing. Then she’s has all her babies, then 19 years after she had her last and had to have her uterus removed, she picks up newborn Kayembe and also started spontaneous lactation 2 months later is just amazing. She of course is nursing Jameela and she nurses Kayembe at times but more for security and for everyone to know Freddy is still his mom. The primatologist, other Doctors and expert are amazing at her understanding how Kayembe just needs that little confirmation that he’s still he baby too. They’ve got a picture of them sleeping at night and Freddy’s of course holding, snuggling with Jameela but with a free hand she was holding Kayembe’s hand as they were all sound asleep. He’s getting more calm everyday and of course he is doing certain training and you know it’s working because Kebi’s letting Kunda explore more and her and Freddy will try to put themselves in a way where if they need to remind him to stop, their both making like a protected area. Also I don’t think many understands just what live is like for tiny gorilla’s in the rainforest or how tall the trees are and they start going up as newborns and by 2 month’s they’re holding on fur because it’s a natural instinct for them and from 3-4 months old till about 3 years old they are riding on their mothers backs. So Jameela is actually doing exactly what co myself naturally to her and why they didn’t hold her much or wore the special Velcro or fur shirts so she held on to them and not them holding in to her. Before you know it both of those girls are going to be driving Kayembe crazy because female’s are more playful and for much longer in their life. I can’t wait till they tell us more about the “Primate Rain Forest” they started but will be opened in sections as it’s going to be huge. I’m want to hear more for the zoo society, I know construction is already happening but I understand they’re not going to talk about it until it’s necessary. They’re habitat isn’t as big as I’d like but I don’t think people understand how much you don’t see and how big it truly is and they change the enrichment in the outside area every year so it’s never completely the same. They’ve learned how it’s truly bad for humans to raise them and why they work so hard at finding foster mothers or is female mentor by no later than 3-4 months is the longest they want to push it. Of course sometimes they’ve had to but it’s always proven to stunt them in ways that are obvious especially to the primatologist. All Gorilla’s in zoo’s and aquarium’s is overseen by the Gorilla SSP (Species Survival Plan) and they make the decision and one of the leaders works out of Cleveland but it handles Gorilla’s around the world ie: Canada, North America, Mexico and many other nations.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

My goodness, you are absorbing ALL the facts. Thanks for sharing your comment.

Larry I have to thank you for the wonderful videos of Freddie, Jameela and of course Kayembe, etc. The zoo should definitely have you do their videos as yours are MUCH better and more frequent than they update us. Plus people are not able to comment on their short video updates. Thank you for doing this for all of us!!! 😊🙏🏼💕

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Thank you very much! 👋😁

[@dreamcatcherjulie1]

Freddie is such a wonderful mom to both of them and so very gentle with Kayembe when he gets really playful around Jameela. She can handle it all it seems. Not leaving Kayembe out but just being protective of Jameela. It will be wonderful when Jameela is older and the two of them and the other baby can all play. Great video. Thanks.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

[@mortalclown3812]

Freddie's got her hands - and her back - full. ❤ She sure looks healthy, too. She's an amazing gorilla. Mokolo's stepped up, too. Wish they had more room, but I know that's expensive to construct. Thank you, Larry, as always, for these fascinating videos.

Freddie sure has her hands full! Kai is really giving her lots of attention! God bless her! Kai is full of energy! Jameel’s has learned to hang on tight! She too is very precious!

[@kelleybutler9203]

Actually that’s their normal instinct and why zoo’s try not to handle the infants unless necessary and they wear special shirts of a Velcro type materials or faux fur because they want her holding on to them and not us holding onto her. So nothing is scary or not exactly what she was born to do or to learn so many non verbal communication skills that only another gorilla can teach them, like her reaching for the branches and leaves already is her learning how to process the plants they eat and she’s already watching everything she can. It’s more proof of how intelligent these creatures are and how wisdom plays a big role in the way they maintain their specialized social systems. I’m thrilled for Jameela and she got the best Mother, Father, her siblings and her entire troop plus many of the best looking after them all.

Gorilla infants are tough, and have a really, really tight grip. 5:39 Freddie knows what to do to get Kayembe settled down, bless her beautiful 💝 heart. She tries not to scold him.

Thanks so much Larry for filming them. Kayambe reminds me so much of when the then 3 year old Lope from Twycross Zoo wanting to play with the few months old Shufai and also wanting to have attention from their mom, Ozala. Both brothers were so interesting to watch and Lope always having a go with his mom. Now Lope is 11 years old n is moved to another zoo which is Zoo Bassin d'Arcachon in France.

I forgot that Freddie was 50 years old God bless her and always take care of her, I truly believe she is a great mummy ❤❤❤❤. To anyone that’s new to watching the Gorillaz yes, I understand that that looked horrible when Kayembe jumped on Jameela 😮😮😮 I know everyone was thinking oh my goodness he’s going to kill her,, and I used to think the same way, but let me tell you Gorillaz bones are two or three times thicker than ours. They’re made for stuff like this even the babies and she might’ve got poked in the eye or something, but other than that, she is perfectly fine and Freddie will make sure that. I know that this troop is in a zoo, but when you see. Freddie with 2 little ones or as a foster mum,, I just can’t help, but think of all the wild gorillas, and hopefully grandma or some aunt would do the same in the wild and take care of those babies 🫣🫣🫣🫣

Imagine a mum so loving, they protect both babes even though they’re not their own. Does the father ever come around to interact with that babes, even Jameela?

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Mokolo interacts with Kayembe the most. As for the little ones, I would describe Mokolo’s actions as curious observations. I have not seen him attempt to hold any of the 3 young gorillas. He does seem to walk right up and examine them closely. Keep in mind those are my observations from a distance - like the other zoo guests.

Jameela is really growing.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Yes! 👍

[@oliviatwine1473]

Keyembe should be enrolled in day care.

[@gerin.6418]

Hahaha! 👍🏻🤣😂😅👍🏻

[@SilvernBlacky]

Oh my god thats funny😊

[@larrysanimalsafari]

LOL, i agree

[@guestuser4503]

Poor Keyembe wants his mom too.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

True. 👍

[@danellemoore1461]

I think half of Kayembe wants to play with the baby and half of him thinks this dumb baby has his spot. So cute. I can't wait for Jameela to get bigger so he will have another friend to play with.

Freddie is such a great mom ❤ the way she picked up Jameela in a couple seconds. I would like to know Kayembe really don’t get time with Freddie and knows that his mom, I know he comes charging but he’s a toddler I don’t want him to feel left out.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

I think he still gets some mom time.

Freddie is a very awesome gorilla.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

I agree!

[@sharondunlap9908]

Thanks for the video Larry

[@larrysanimalsafari]

You are welcome Sharon. 👏😁

[@bonnieferrell8571]

Poor Freddie all she wants to do is eat breakfast 😊

[@larrysanimalsafari]

LOL, sometimes it's hard for moms to get a break to eat.

[@christelshultz8495]

I am amazed that Freddie produces milk at her age

[@larrysanimalsafari]

👍😁

[@Wordplay7891]

Even when shes just slowly and lazily walking around with Jameela on her back, Freddie is always aware of her surroundings. The moment Kayembe suddenly jumps down to the ground at 3:45, she immediately turns to face him to make sure he’s not sneaking up behind her towards the baby. Just incredible maternal instinct.
