Baby Gorilla - Kayembe and Jameela playing (Kayembe #58)

[@carinas916]

Freddy wins the Mother of the Year award as far as I'm concerned! Playing with a toddler, taking care of a baby, nurturing both at age 50. She is remarkable! Thanks for the lovely video Larry!

[@Nigelsmom2136]

I was so amazed at how she instantly took Jameela and started mothering her when Jameela was brought up from Houston. Not a second of hesitation. She is an amazing mother.

Poor Kayembe is just going stir crazy

[@annefinlayson6021]

What an amazing mum Freddie is to Kayembe and Jameela. She always puts their needs first and at 50 years old still takes time to rough house with her overactive three year old. I pray that this wonderful 'lady' has many more years of health and happiness ahead of her and that little Jameela and Kayembe grow to happy, healthy adults. I love this little family, they're joyous. 🙏🌹❤️🌹💙💕🥰

[@sheppardpaul529]

She is a special kind of lady with a lot of love for the kiddies

[@gorillabff1003]

Freddy is just incredible. I watch a silverback from Taipei Zoo who I consider remarkably emotionally intelligent (D’Jeeco) and Freddy has the same quality, especially with the youngsters. She seems to know what her charges need and gives them that and maintains solid relationships with everyone. I loved her playing with Kayembe. It was so cute how she beats her chest to indicate play readiness. Just darling. It’s hard for Kayembe I’m sure being usurped by Jameela and losing Freddy’s constant attention but the keepers have done a good job of training Kayembe to be gentler with the babies although I still remember Kayembe’s very first very enthusiastic reaction to Jameela seeing her through the mesh. It was hilarious but the keepers recognized that he needed to calm down to be with the baby and he’s pretty good about it. Freddy is incredible and deserves so many kudos for being such a stellar Mama to her foster babies. So darling-all of it. Thanks for sharing these amazing videos of this wonderful troop, Larry. Always a joy to watch. 👋🇨🇦🦍♥️

Freddy is amazing. She reminds me of my father's cousin. She was raising her 12 year old granddaughter and I asked her why she looked so young and she said that being around her granddaughter all those years are what kept her young!

Freddy playing with Kayembe was so precious. Jameela didn’t seem to mind although she hung very tightly to mom. Nice to see Kunda getting more freedom. Excellent video.

[@dreamcatcherjulie1]

In two weeks I will be driving from Illinois to see all of them. I am so happy and can hardly wait. I could watch them all day and I am going to stay 2 days so I can see them even more!!!! I wouldn't be going to the zoo without your videos so thank you very much.

[@seasonsofphilly1993]

Freddy is patient and playful, and it probably keeps her young at heart at her age. Energetic Kayembe is a joy to watch. Babies Kunda and Jameela had some good hammock play time. Wonderful video!

[@patriciamorgan8359]

I'm glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when Mokolo threatened to sit on Kayembe. Jameela seems wary since the day he upset her. I was very surprised to see Kunda riding on Kebi's back. I noticed she's keeping herself out of his reach. I think Freddy was trying to wear Kayembe out so everyone could have a bit of peace.

Kayembe always is trying to find a playmate.

[@NalaRichenbach]

Freddie is a great mother... very patient and attentive. I love how she plays with a very energetic Kayembe while she protects baby Jameela. Both little girls are getting stronger in their climbing and hanging abilities.. the arm strength is increasing. Kayembe is already a little powerhouse. He reminds of when Kintaro (Momotaro troop) was his age.... his back is starting to widen. It's cool seeing the subtle changes in the two babies, Kunda and Jameela, as they grow and progress. It should get interesting in the coming months.

[@rejeannenicholson2024]

My baby is growing up too fast, look at her swinging and climbing on that hammock😮. I must get to the zoo soon, because if I don’t I might blink and she will be grown with babies of her own…🥰❤️😬

[@annecarter5181]

@@GreenSangha Good for her!! 🥰

[@Catwomanria13579]

Oh Larry what a beautiful and long video. I really had a smile on my face for 16 minutes: what an action in the film of Kunda in/with her hammock, Kayembe of course with all his fast antics, Jameela who unexpectedly shows that she will be 9 months tomorrow, nice and wild in the hammock after she has copied Kayembe's art and of course Freddy, loving and playful Freddy. She had been watching Kayembe's antics for a long time. Not out of concern for Jameela, he was further away at first, but out of pure love for her son. Later that became completely clear with her playing with Kayembe, the breast roll several times, the cuddling while she bends over him. And Jameela is already used to the fact that she has to be careful not to get caught in her mother's wrestling match at these moments, between her mother's knees that sometimes go in all directions 😂🤣, Kebi who just thinks it's okay that Kayembe is close to Kunda and of course the sweet kisses 💋 that he gives her (probably happened before), Kunda enjoyed the softness of Kayembe. I have the feeling that this is a completely new experience for Kunda: softness from her big impressive brother, she also reached out her arm to him. She has only had this interaction with her mother for almost 15 months! And Kebi has also experienced this before, it seems. In previous videos of yours you can also see that she was much calmer with Kayembe near Kunda. The group is starting to react very healthily to each other with of course Kayembe as the 'Great Leader' and example for the little ones who seem to get energy from their big brother😂. Fantastic group, all very lively movie stars today. Very nicely filmed and beautiful film quality 👍🏻👌🏻. Oh, and how nice to see baby Kayembe's little head for a second in your new introduction 😃. Many thanks!🙏🏻🦍🐒, also for Babs
