The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is one of just 230 zoos that is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. To earn an AZA accreditation a zoo must keep their standards high to help ensure proper care and safety for people and animals.
The Conservation status of the Western Lowland gorilla is “critically endangered”.

When I created my Animal Safari channel, my goal was to produce interesting and educational videos.
I research each animal before I publish a video so I can provide an accurate recap of important details like their conservation status, diet, habitat, geographic location and some details that describe key features of each animal.

Happy Birthday beautiful baby boy. I love him so much. Thank you Larry.🦍💗💗💗

Kayembe is a mischievous little boy, but I've noticed he seems to be nicer to his little sister, Jameela. They will have such fun together in just a few months when she gets a bit older.

[@angelalindsey2348]

Oh my goodness, what an adorable little fella! If any baby gorilla deserves a couple of little sisters to play with, it's Kayembe. He put his time in with the rather boring adults and is soooo ready for some real playtime. Awesome video!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Thanks for checking out this older video 👋😁

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

Old fire hose seems to be a miraculous discovery for zoos.😅

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Yes, pretty versatile. 😁

[@sheppardpaul529]

If you look at some of the other exhibits like monkey world (Dorset,uk) and Taiwan Tapai zoo they also make fabulous enrichment puzzle feeders out of it too, Little rascal Keyembe loves to swing doesn’t he 🥰

[@larrysanimalsafari]

👍😁

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

It’s amazing how baby gorillas seem to instinctively beat their chests (or more accurately, tummies) when they’re feeling happy and confident. I’ve seen videos of female baby gorillas doing this too. It really seems to be a behavior unique to this species.

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Interesting, I thought our boy Kayembe was imitating his dad, but girls will do it too ? Cool

[@sheppardpaul529]

There is a troop in Taiwan the D’Jeeco family/troop and both the little boys Jabali & Ringo also do this, and even sit on their fathers shoulders and drum on his head which is fascinating because he’s so patient and gentle regardless 😊 none of their footage comes remotely close to yours Larry because the way you shoot brings the audience (in my opinion) to the actual zoo and feels like standing at the viewing area 🙏🏼 thank you

[@larrysanimalsafari]

Awww having followed since the start of the Netflix series of his arrival and subsequently being scooped up by the fantastic Fredricka, I’ve fallen in love with the entire troop from across the pond 🇬🇧, and as a semi bed bound spinal injury disabled person @larry’s animal safari has made this all possible, thank you Larry for all you’re hard work involved in bringing us all this 🙏🏼

Happy belated birthday little guy ❤. You had a rough start at life but you were so incredibly lucky to be born into this troop bc you got Freddie as your surrogate momma and she loves you as her own. Now all the ladies seem to be in love with you including your biological momma. Can't wait to visit you soon buddy. So proud this troop is here in CLE my hometown!

[@larrysanimalsafari]

👍😁 He is growing fast.

[@sheppardpaul529]

Sammy I agree with every word and it really shows in his personality that he’s well cared for and loved, I follow many troops online due to disability but I have a special love for this particular troop for these very reasons, Fredricka is a gorilla angel for sure

[@MySkinnydip]

Happy Birthday lil cutie! I just got his birthday book! The picture of him on the back is so cute! I can’t wait to share it with my niece!🎉🎂

To those who bemoan captivity: we get it. But these animals are critically endangered and zoos help raise both money and awareness for the species. This is one of the best zoos, too. What they've done for this troop is heroic. Thanks, Larry, for a beautiful video.♡ ;^) P.S. It must be hard deciding what to film when 2 gorillas are both being fascinating feet away from each other. :-)

[@larrysanimalsafari]

👍 Thanks and welcome to the channel. Appreciate your comments.

[@seasonsofphilly1993]

Thank you, Larry, for sharing this video link of 1-year-old Kayembe. He's already showing muscular arms at this age. And Mokolo is so patient with his energetic baby Kayembe.

Happy birthday doce Kayembe🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ValerieSue]

Kayembe is his own little birthday cheerleader there for awhile. 😂😂 So cute and oh so active. Much more than Kunda at this age because Freddy is not a helicopter mom like Kebi. It’s fascinating to see the difference between the two baby’s. 😊 Would have loved to see more of Mokolo and Kayembe sharing the hammock, but knowing Kayembe he probably didn’t stay there very long. 😂❤

Thanks Larry! I haven’t been here in awhile. Hard to imagine Kayembe is a year old! He’s lost his new-born face and grown into a handsome little dude. Happy Birthday little guy! And always best wishes to amazing Fredricka.

Awwwww - happy birthday li’l man❣️❣️🎉 🎂 🥳 🎈 Thanks for this absolutely joyful video, Larry! The birthday boy seems very excited and is having SO much fun. It’s amazing how he has suddenly become a very active toddler and not a little baby any more. Moloko seems to be warming up to him now he’s a little bigger. As always, it’s lovely to see Fredrika keeping an eye on Kayembe’s safety, but also allowing him space to play and explore. He was certainly full of beans on his big day! How many times did he climb that branch?! 😅 Sweet, energetic little fellow❣️
