Baby Gorilla - Jameela #10 with Freddie

It's the end of April and I'm visiting the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo to see Jameela. She is the baby gorilla that came from the Fort Worth Zoo. She is now with her foster mother, Freddie (Fredrika). This video only has baby gorilla Jameela and Freddie.

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 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.
Kayembe was the first zoo born gorilla at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
Kunda was the second baby born in Cleveland in less then 2 years.
Jameela was the first baby born via c-section at the Fort Worth Zoo
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.
The Conservation status of the Western Lowland gorilla is “Critically Endangered”.

Mokolo may be the silverback of the troop, but Freddie really is the rock and the heart of them all. What an amazing animal she is!

[@PIA-tj5hc]

Yes she is🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@mortalclown3812]

It won't matter to her, but I think she deserves a beautiful sculpture in her honor. Just an amazing gorilla. ❤❤

[@MzNoemi69]

She's a matriarch. She's had 7 of her own babies, plus 2 fosters- Kayembe and Jameela. She'll be 50 in June, so she definitely has grandchildren, and maybe some greatgrandchildren.❤

Freddie is not only an incredible adoptive mother but she is an amazing ambassador to all of us as we watch her tender loving care of Jameela, she is teaching us all the importance of the need for conservation for these magnificent beings in the wild. As much as her devotion to Kahemba and Jameela is on display at the zoo,the love and devotion of these gorillas is exactly how it is in the wild. The whole troupe has accepted baby Jameela just as a wild troupe protects and care for their young. Thank you Larry for this beautiful up close view into their amazing lives 🦍❣

That is so sweet….the silverback adopted Jameela as his own. I didn’t know that the silverback would allow an outside baby into the family. That’s very nice of him and the rest of the family to accept Jameela.

[@almostafarm6394]

Such a small enclosure. Seems crowded. Needs more levels, more games, more territory, more places to be protected on at least two sides... So glad Jameela is cared for by her kind.

There are 3 interconnected rooms, and 3 levels. Check out this weekend’s videos , Part 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. At end of video-- besides some other videos that gives a view of all 3 rooms.

[@sonyawilson1000]

Oh how absolutely wonderful! Jameela is doing well and thriving thanks to the diligent keepers and zoo staff, and also Freddie, a magnificent surrogate. We love you Freddie! 💓💓💓 and the entire 🦍 troop as well. 😊 1:09 The white cotton ball on Jameela's butt is called "the baby signal". Gorillas have a strict set of heirarchy rules that they abide by. That white fluff ball tuft of hair tells Mokolo and everyone else in the troop Jameela is a baby/toddler, and therefore she is allowed to break certain rules 😁 as she grows, until it fades and disappears.

Look at baby girl riding up there on Freddie’s back like she’s been doing it all her wee life❣️😍 Jameela’s transfer to Cleveland has been a real triumph. For viewers who are curious about how Freddie still cares for Kayembe and how Jameela gets her bottle feeds, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has just released an update showing Freddie breastfeeding both kids simultaneously and also showing how Freddie brings Jameela over to the mesh so the keepers can give her a bottle. Freddie was getting lots of greens beans while Jameela was feeding - I think they’re Freddie’s favourite treat. ❤ Thanks so much for another awesome video, Larry - and for the great information in the description.

I pray that Tusa and Nineka can learn from them and pass that wonderful care along to their future babies or perhaps another baby needing a surrogate. Mokolo is a great silverback and so welcoming to Jameela!!! God bless them all. Love all of them. The caretakers are also deserving of some credit as well both at the Forth Worth Zoo and Metroparks Cleveland Zoo.

It's so good that Jameela is integrated into the group and she has finally found a family. On the other hand, I wonder if the zoo isn't pushing Freddie too much... and maybe Kayembe doesn't have resentment towards his adoptive mother... Freddie is already 50 years old and maybe she already needed to be retire from mother's duties...all the best to Jameela, Kayembe, Tusa, Nneka, Freddie, Kebi, Kunda and Mokolo, and for you too Larry. Hugs from Portugal.

[@dphuntsman]

I dunno; I think adopting Jameela after the very initial birthing and first weeks’ phase not only doesn’t seem to be doing her any harm, but seems to be doing Freddie some good as well. She can’t keep fostering forever; tho, I wouldn’t want to be the one to try and tell her that……

[@lynnz4874]

This is going to give Keyembe a chance to learn the next level of socialization and how to be a good brother. This is also a good way to prevent him from growing up into a adult spoiled only child that isn’t as accepting as Mokolo is being right now. It also allows for him to bond more with his natural mother as she has been watching and learning from Freddie. I think in the other video they showed Keyembe coming out on his biological mom’s back because he has been sleeping with her. ❤

My updated prediction?.... She'll be tussling and tumbling with Kayembe before Kunda will... lol. She's getting visibly bigger and stronger and is sharing Mama Freddy with her big brother regularly now.

Had they placed her in nearby Columbus Zoo, she would be in there with her cousins, Sully and her baby, Kwame.

I believe the white spot can stay until they are 5-6 years old. It’s what I’ve read. Kintaro, at the Kyoto Zoo in Japan is almost 5 1/2 yrs old and he still has his. They are the only gorillas I’ve watched until I found this channel.
