Gorilla Mum Loves Slinging Her Baby Girl On Her Back

[@mbd6054]

Thandie is so beautiful, and sweet natured. She just wanders around, interested in everything, and doesn't mind being unceremoniously hoisted up by Mum, and piggybacked to the next pit stop! Great footage, SV. Thank you very much. :)

[@SloggerVlogger]

Thank you so much Brett!

Unlike Shufai that is still riding his mom like they are going into battle.

[@swamp5050]

That's a good way of knowing where Thandie is every minute, just fling her on your back and go about your daily business of foraging! Love this family, and look how fit Mayani legs are, looks like she works out! LOL Thx SV, hope you enjoyed your time at Antwerp!

[@SloggerVlogger]

I certainly did. Hopefully I will get the chance to go back in the future. I think first it might be a Bristol Zoo trip to see the sisters :-)

[@johnnohobear8634]

What a good mom! She is ever watchful over Thandie. Thandie radiates curiosity and intelligence out of her eyes and is loving exploring the world, so Mom has to be ever vigilant.

[@sapphire48481]

Haha...Thandie wants to do what SHE wants, but Mom is more than happy to keep her from growing up!! Lol

[@sonjavandam1306]

Oh lordy, she is just divine 😍 didn't think she could get any cuter... I was wrong... Babies aren't as fragile as I thought they were..Love how confident and casual mom is.. Mom is quite young isn't she.. Thank you for sharing...🤩 🇦🇺

[@dorajohnson6252]

Awwwwwwww! It's good to have a loving and caring mother no matter what the species! Great job mom in looking out for your young one! Great video thanks!

[@SloggerVlogger]

Thank you Dora!

[@mariehartje6781]

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful mama, "be still my heart"..love her & baby. Thks SV for this sweet video :-)

[@natalieharris7161]

LOL, when you have no say so, at all! A grab up, a snatch up and a let's go.....Period! Mama Gorilla: Cry, if you want to and see what happens! Classic!

[@poppykok5]

Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry... *: )* Seriously, I ALWAYS wince & almost have to look away when I see one of these little Ape babies being dragged or flung about by one arm...YIKES, it makes me so nervous...I guess we just need to trust that Mama, Papa, older siblings (& other family members ) have an inherent understanding of the fragility of the babies, & wouldn't intentionally or accidentally go too far...Every time I see baby Thandie, I simply loooong to cradle her in my arms & look into her little eyes...

[@lizzyh458]

I think more then one year later, we can say that Thandie isn't afraid of anything and maybe Mayani's no nonsense attitude has something to do with it LOL. Nowadays when I see Thandie play a bit rough with her babysister Vizazi I've to look away and it makes me nervous at times ;-) I try to tell myself that everything is normal and gonna be ok. And that mom will protect the little one whenever Thandie goes too far. So I fully understand what you said @poppykok5

[@princessmonkey2034]

Thandie is a strong little girl. Animals baby are tough little things.

[@MySkinnydip]

I love Thandie and Viz!😊

[@sharonkeogh7036]

Rewatching some of my favourite videos of my favourite troop. And this one still makes me laugh. ❣🦍❣🦍

[@moneymakerbanditsports8423]

Clearly....I AM Mayani #1 Fan !

[@kit2130]

She’s a pretty no nonsense mom! 😯

[@grneys45]

So cute!!

[@Sammy-kn2nb]

I miss my sweet little Thandie. I'd love to see how she and her baby sister are doing now.

[@SloggerVlogger]

Me too, I would love to see Thandi again and to meet her baby sister for the first time. At the moment I'm waiting of where Lope will be going and if it is Europe, maybe I'm able to connect all those visits together.

[@theawidmer1113]

Het is werkelijk een snoepje❗️Mama vindt het beter om haar dicht bij zich te hebben dus huppekee op de rug❗️Enige video 👌🏼👌🏼🙋‍♀️

[@SloggerVlogger]

:-)

[@knoxvillehermitfreemoviesm3625]

For babies they never cry much.

[@swissmaid]

Mum is very rough with her! Plus she does not talk to the baby before hoisting her up so rough! Is this her first baby?

[@lizzyh458]

What do you mean she does not talk to the baby. Since when can gorilla's TALK?😆 Sorry, I had to react on this one...

[@sonjavandam1306]

Maybe she can read her a book or watch a video.😂🤣

[@suejohnlaptop]

Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣put dvd on for her

[@swissmaid]

Don't be so ignorant!

[@suejohnlaptop]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@greenethecutegirl35]

That's me wants to play but my mom dragging me to home 😂

[@mspinkytee]

Thandie can't do anything, lol!

[@jimterryh1983]

Mom is kinda tough on baby. Slinging baby around like a bag of groceries. Is Thandie her first baby?

[@carolinerowles5951]

Now I know why they call baby carriers a sling!

[@adrunkgorillawithalobotomy353]

She's teaching her to cling on, by the looks of it.....

Don't miss the last video next week Thursday from the Antwerp Gorillas??? Are you serious? Why is it going to be the last video? Please tell me what's going on? Is it the last of the Gorilla videos??? I look forward to watching these creatures everyday. They are the highlight of my days. If they are really ending. Please tell me how I can find out how they are doing. I have gotten attached to them. This is blowing my mind. I can't even get attached to zoo animals ,with out them being taken away. I am not taking this well at all.

[@SloggerVlogger]

Hello Carolyn, this was only ever a temporary series of the Antwerp gorillas unfortunately. As you know I'm in the UK and was only there for a limited time and I won't be back there for quite some time. So sorry to disappoint you, but the Twycross zoo gorillas are here to stay and I will always show them.

[@blaisepotvien7557]

I'm concerned how rough Mom is with her baby. I know this is not normal. I know a lot about Gorillas and most moms are loving and gentle with there babies. I know that Gorilla babies a a lot stronger then we think. But it is hard to watch. Is Thandie her first baby.

[@sanasalh5815]

My heart is melting when see mom pull thandie by one hand and drug her over the rocks 😔

[@noreenedge8951]

Well why bother with stroller ?I think she wants to keep him a baby.Young must have strong arms to tolerate yanking like that.

[@Roaming_Loner]

not the original sound, but at least not a music

[@juliajohnson6022]

She’s so tiny.

[@Bearwoman11]

Mama needs to be gentle!
